Start with a BANG

When I was working at 100% commission selling from the stage, I had a my opening thirty seconds down pat.

When I was headlining comedy clubs, I had an opening bit that killed every time.

When I'm emceeing an SKO or training a group of sales people, I know exactly what I'm going to say to start things off with a bang.

Get out of the blocks strong🏃‍♂️‍➡️. Practice this portion of your presentation ten times in a mirror. Run it by a coach, mentor, or friend for feedback. It has to work and it has to let your audience know that they're going to be in for something they've never seen before. Start weak and the tone is set. You'll likely be playing catch up the rest of your presentation.
