Thanks! I didn't literally mean "elevator pitch" and if I knew that thread existed would have phrased my post differently, because a list of the things that are cool about Haskell will not impress them. What I want and am finding it hard to create are examples where FP shines and, for the same problem, imperative languages look like more work.
Parallelism! Something based on dons' blog http://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/blog/2007/11/29#smoking-4core will be a good start. Many will think of
programming solely in terms of developing websites, GUIs, database access, so I will demonstrate how strongly-typed database access can help them.
