Get the attention with surprise. Keep attention by creating knowledge gaps, make people wonder. Fill the gaps later.

Make it tangible. Describe the impact in every-day terms. Avoid abstract words like high-performance, delivery, and process.
🔗 𝗖 𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗕𝗟𝗘
Do people believe your idea? Why should people trust you on this subject?
❤️️ 𝗘 𝗠𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟
Make people feel something.
🪞 𝗦 IMILARITY
