“Do you want your customers to have a bad experience, or do you want them to have the an experience they will tell their friends about?”

2. Imagination – Our imaginations are more powerful than power point or flash. When we use our imagination we remember for longer. We just need to help people access their imagination. For example:

“Picture this….”

“Imagine you´re working on ….when….happens. How would you feel?”

3. Impact – The audience wants impact they want to be entertained to know what they are listening to do is important. For this we need impact.  To create impact we need a human connection.
