Episode notes
Lead with the Punchline
- Lead with your conclusion or recommendation in presentations, like "Invest $1 million in X."
- This shifts the focus from process to action and keeps the audience engaged.
Address Objections
- Tailor presentations to address the audience's objections and concerns, not just product features.
- Focus on why they might resist your proposal, such as cost or disruption.
Keep It Simple
- Keep presentations concise with one key insight per slide and a maximum of 40 words.
- Avoid overwhelming the audience with too much data or multiple takeaways at once.
