ADVICE

Use A 4-Sentence Executive Soundbite

  • Build a 4-sentence soundbite: Because of [shift], now's the time to [act], to avoid [risk], and unlock [reward].
  • Repeat this compact message everywhere so executives and champions can easily remember and share it.
INSIGHT

Think In Executive Metrics, Not Features

  • Executives think in priorities and driver trees, not product features or pain points.
  • Lead with the executive metric and align your approach as one of several levers to move it.
ADVICE

Co-Write The Message With Your Champion

  • Co-create the soundbite with your champion by drafting, editing, and getting their redlines live.
  • Involve them so they internalize the language and can confidently present it without you.
