Transform Your Emails and Drive Business Results

From This

email bad
  • Vague subject line is a missed opportunity to state BIG Idea
  • Resolution is unclear with no specific details of the ask
  • Meeting context is missing, leaving recipients wondering why they are receiving this email

To This

  • Context is established in first line with setting and characters
  • Conflict is stated clearly so recipients know exactly what’s at stake
  • Variation of BIG Idea is repeated and highlighted to restate the WHAT + BENEFIT

From This

  • Confusing headline – this is about clinics, not patients’ health. Plus, there is no Big Idea
  • Data is confusing and doesn’t clearly connect to anything
  • Resolution comes too early before any context is set

To This

  • Big Idea is a headline blazing from the top of the page
  • Select data shows setting and characters
  • Resolution comes last and is put into clear, visual buckets

From This

  • Title is vague
  • Photo is randomly placed, feels small and unimportant.
  • Detailed list distracts from key message

To This

  • Title is concise, specific, and conversational
  • Oversized text inside a shape makes data easy to scan
  • Full screen photo creates a mood and anchors insight

Pivot when your meeting or presentation gets cut from 30 minutes to 5 minutes

You’ve spent weeks preparing to deliver a huge proposal, including countless hours putting together a tightly scripted 30-minute presentation. If you land this deal, you’re going to look really good. Except, the team of senior executives you’re prepared to wow is running late. You now have five minutes. What do you do? How do you cram 30 minutes of awesomeness into just five minutes?

Address unique care-abouts when your audience has diverse needs or competing interests

When planning any high-stakes communication, knowing who your audience is absolutely essential. But what happens when you are pitching to a variety of people with widely differing interests? In other words, what happens if the “audience” for your pitch is actually “audiences” that can’t be motivated (or even kept awake) by the same story?

Build and deliver a team presentation — who does what?
