Narrative Arc

The presentation follows a classic story structure:

Emotional Journey

• Frustration → "That happens to me all the time"
• Recognition → "Oh no, that's 84 minutes a day?!"
• Hope → "Wait, someone doesn't have this problem?"
• Belief → "This actually works (live demo)"
• Confidence → "I can do this in 15 minutes"
• Commitment → "I'll try it this week"

Key Moments (Emphasize During Delivery)

Delivery Tips

Timing

• Total: 10-15 minutes including demo
• Leave 2-3 minutes for questions

Pacing

• Start slow and conversational (build rapport)
• Speed up during the comparison (create urgency)
• Slow down for the demo (let it sink in)
• Clear and confident for the setup (inspire action)
