31 | What To Say In The First 30 Seconds Of Every Pitch or Presentation
Listen now
Description
The first 30 seconds of your speech are the only chance you have to truly grab and maintain your audience's attention. This is based on a concept by Diana Kander and Tucker Trotter's concept "The Golden Window." Which they write about in the upcoming book Go Big Or Go Home. I'm always committed to showing you EXACTLY what to say, so I'll give you a perfect example: how we recently made an investor pitch for a trash/recycling container ENGAGING and FUNNY. If we can do that on that dry a topic, think how good we can make your next pitch! Go to SpeakNextWeek.com for more information.
