How to Achieve Impact
Structure your communication so you offer a beginning, a middle, and an ending.
The beginning grabs the audience’s attention.
The ending hooks the audience’s memory.
The middle supports your argument. Take care, though. If the middle is too long, you will bury your message.
That’s why we call it the cemetery of communications.
It also explains why you need powerful openings and memorable closings to all forms of communication.
