High Content – Short Message – Big Payoff
Do not underestimate the power of verbs.
At an all-day event, my client asked me to speak to promote my upcoming afternoon session. I told the client, “I know your morning is full, just give me just three minutes.” (It took just two and a half.)
After an amusing story about a request for an interview which made the point, “Your message has to be of interest to your audience,” I continued, “This morning, you enjoyed your executive’s presentations because they acknowledged your contributions; celebrated your success; revealed fascinating industry statistics; previewed your company’s future; confirmed that your executives are in harmony.”
