Introduction
An introduction can be a quote, a question, a statistic a short story that sets the stage. This isn’t meant to be your background and experience because they have read your bio.
Interaction
This could be a question- who here is experiencing this problem- show of your hand. Repeat a word you share, finish this sentence, provide your definitions, and call, and respond, a digital poll, Q&A
Get personal
Share a story to connect to peoples hearts so they can connect to themselves through your story
Problem to solution
Connect them to the problem and how they can now solve this problem
Benefits and value
This may be presented in the solution, but help them understand what has changed as a result of the solution.
Social proof
Stories about where you or others have achieved these results. Statistics from the marketplace from third-party sources that support your claim.
Summarize
Repackage and summarize their takeaways so there is no question what they should be leaving with.
Call to Action
