Elevator Pitch Formula (60 seconds)

Hook (10s):      Start with a surprising fact, question, or bold claim
                 "Every year, $X billion is wasted on..."

Problem (15s):   The pain point your audience recognizes
                 "Right now, [target user] struggle with..."

Solution (15s):  What you do, simply stated
                 "[Product] is the [category] that [key benefit]"

Proof (10s):     One compelling number or customer story
                 "In 3 months, we helped [user] achieve [result]"

Ask (10s):       What you want from this conversation
                 "I'd love 20 minutes to show you how it works"

Presentation Structure (PPRR)

P — Point:    State your main claim upfront (no build-up)
P — Proof:    Evidence, data, or story that backs it up
R — Reason:   Why it matters to this specific audience
R — Request:  What you want them to think, feel, or do

Example:
  Point:   "Our user retention doubled after this change"
  Proof:   "D30 retention went from 22% to 44% in Q3"
  Reason:  "This means each acquired user is worth 2x more"
  Request: "I'd like budget to run this experiment across all segments"

Difficult Conversation Framework

Before:
  1. Clarify your goal — what outcome do you want?
  2. Anticipate their reaction — write it down
  3. Prepare your opening line (don't wing it)

Opening line formula:
  "I want to talk about [topic]. My intention is [positive goal],
   not [what they might fear]."

During:
  → Lead with observations, not judgments
     "I noticed X" not "You always do Y"
  → Ask before telling
     "How do you see the situation?" before sharing your view
  → Name the tension
     "I sense this might be uncomfortable — it is for me too"

Closing:
  → Agree on a specific next step
  → Confirm understanding: "What are you taking away from this?"

Voice Delivery Tips

Pace:    Slow down 20% — you always speak faster than you think
Pause:   Silence = confidence. Pause before key points.
Volume:  Vary it — drop your voice for emphasis, not just raise it
Filler:  Replace "um/uh/like" with a breath pause
Eye:     On video, look at the camera lens, not your own face

The 3-second rule:
  Before answering any question, take 3 seconds.
  It signals confidence and gives you time to think.

Podcast / Interview Prep

Research formula (30 min before):
  1. What is the host's POV? (read 3 recent episodes)
  2. What's the "angle" they'll take with you?
  3. Prepare 3 stories you want to tell regardless of question
  4. Know your one-liner: "I'm the person who..."

Bridge technique (redirect bad questions):
  "That's interesting — what I think is really important here is..."
  "Great question, and it connects to something I've been thinking about..."

Tips

• Record yourself — you cannot improve what you cannot hear
• The best speakers prepare the first 30 seconds word-for-word, then improvise
• Use concrete nouns — "17 customers" hits harder than "some users"
• Stories > statistics for emotional impact; statistics > stories for credibility
• On Claw Talk, use AI feedback mode to get real-time suggestions on pace and clarity
