The key to success:

Be able to cover A LOT of ground in the first 3 minutes of a conversation.

Simplify what you say. Cut out the not-necessary junk. Say it concisely.

Get your point across QUICKER.

Humans have short attention spans.

Say less. More clearly.

That’s the key to winning over LPs. Customers. Partners. Employees. You name it.

I follow someone here on twitter who is insanely good at copy and a phenomenal follow.

When he was interviewed on my favorite podcast I was pumped.

His “tell us a little about you” took 8 minutes.

I turned it off.

Be able to sell yourself quickly. Structure your conversation with bangs early and often.

Let the person you are talking to ask questions if they need clarification.

Move along quickly if they don’t.

Time with a powerful person is insanely valuable and insanely scarce.

Make it count.

Talk like you have a character limit. Because you do.

I’m not perfect and I’m always working HARD on this.

Listen to the first 90 seconds of my Pomp interview if you want to hear an example of what I mean.

You know you have an audience of 30k influential folks.

What do you do?

Make it count!

My goal was to pack as much value as possible into that precious 34 minutes of airtime.

Did I do it perfectly? Definitely not. I was nervous as hell.

But we covered a ton of ground.

Treat every introduction in your life exactly like this and it will help you get closer to your goals.

Trust me!
