ADVICE

Use The One-Liner Formula

  • Lead with the problem you solve before naming your product or title to make your value obvious.
  • Use a concise one-liner: problem, product/skill, result to reduce confusion and increase perceived value.
ANECDOTE

Two Chefs, Two Outcomes

  • Jason contrasts two chefs to show how framing changes reactions at a party.
  • The second chef framed a family-connection problem and became instantly compelling.
INSIGHT

Lead With Their Problem

  • Leading with the problem raises perceived value and removes cognitive dissonance for your listener.
  • Listeners stop wondering what you mean and immediately see why you're relevant.
