Cisco GSX Elevator Pitch – Las Vegas

A unique execution for Cisco GSX in 2018, the Elevator Pitch experience was an opportunity for attendees to show their sales skill by pitching Cisco in 60 seconds.

The execution made use of an AI based Speech to Text and Tonal Analysis, that determined if the speaker was Confident, Tentative, Analytical or Anxious based on the content of their presentation, eye tracking to measure how direct the user spoke to camera, as well as systems to pickup on the use of filler words or phrases.

3 judges sat outside the mock elevator and gave scores based on each participants pitch, with the winners receiving VIP treatment at the conferences closing event.

The game show like atmosphere drew a large number of participants and audience throughout the three day event.
