Making it Memorable: Developing Engaging Introductions and Conclusions. This section focuses on grabbing the audience's attention at the start and leaving a lasting impression at the end.

Start with a Powerful Contrast/Scenario

"Have you ever started a conversation only to find your mind drifting before the first sentence was even finished? Or perhaps you've listened intently to a talk, only to realize at the end you can't recall its main message, as if it just... evaporated? We've all been there, both as listeners and, perhaps, as speakers. The truth is, many brilliant ideas are lost not in the middle of a speech, but at its very beginning and end."

Introduce the Topic and Its Significance

"Today, we unlock the secrets to 'Making it Memorable: Developing Engaging Introductions and Conclusions.' These aren't just bookends for your speech; they are the strategic gateways that welcome your audience in and the powerful final notes that echo long after you've finished. They are, quite simply, where your speech lives or dies in the minds of your listeners."

State Your Goal for the Session

"My aim today is to equip you with creative techniques and a strategic mindset to craft openings that instantly capture attention and closings that leave a profound, lasting impression, transforming your presentations from fleeting moments into unforgettable experiences."

Briefly Outline What You'll Cover

"We'll explore why introductions and conclusions are so critical, delve into proven strategies for crafting compelling openings, and then master the art of delivering a powerful, memorable closing that resonates with your audience."

The Critical Why: The Power of First and Last Impressions

The Primacy Effect: Your Grand Entrance

"Think about meeting someone new. That initial impression often sets the tone for the entire relationship. In public speaking, it's called the 'Primacy Effect.' Your introduction is your audience's first encounter with your message, your personality, and your credibility. A strong start isn't just polite; it's a strategic necessity to: * Grab Attention: In today's distracted world, you have mere seconds to capture your audience's focus. * Establish Relevance: Show them why they should care about your topic right now. * Build Credibility: Signal that you are prepared, confident, and knowledgeable. * Preview Your Message: Give them a roadmap, so they know what to expect."

The Recency Effect: Your Lasting Legacy

"Just as the beginning is crucial, so is the end. This is the 'Recency Effect' – what your audience hears last is often what they remember most vividly. Your conclusion is your final opportunity to: * Summarize Key Ideas: Reinforce your main points, ensuring clarity. * Reiterate Your Thesis: Drive home your core message one last time. * Motivate Action/Thought: Inspire them to do something, think differently, or reflect. * Leave a Memorable Impression: Conclude with impact, emotion, or a powerful call to action that resonates."

The Bridge of Connection: From Silence to Impact

"Without a strong start, your audience might never truly arrive. Without a powerful finish, your message risks fading into oblivion. Introductions and conclusions are not just segments; they are the vital bridge that connects you and your message to the minds and hearts of your listeners."

The Art of the Hook: Crafting Engaging Introductions

The Goal: Immediate Engagement

"Your introduction has a multifaceted job: gain attention, establish rapport, reveal your topic and purpose, and preview your main points. Let's explore how."

Proven Strategies for Grabbing Attention

"Here are powerful ways to open your speech: * Ask a Rhetorical Question: Pose a question that makes your audience think, without expecting an immediate verbal answer. (e.g., 'What if the solution to our biggest problems was right under our noses?')

“How to Find New Customers & Where to Meet People”
By Laurie Delk Radecki

I’m giving you simple, real-life strategies to help you grow your Super Patch business by finding new customers… and knowing exactly where to meet people!

Let me remind you: People need what we have. We’re not chasing people—we’re helping them live better lives through balance, focus, energy, pain relief, sleep, immune support, and more. Let’s get into it!

Section 1 – Know WHO You're Looking For

First, if you're going to go find new customers, you have to know who you're looking for. Here are just a few examples of perfect candidates for our patches:

• Someone who struggles with pain (chronic, post-surgery, arthritis)
• Athletes or active adults who need better recovery or performance
• Parents of children with focus or sensory needs
• People under stress, not sleeping well, or needing immune support
• Anyone over 40 who just wants to feel better every day

So keep your eyes open for everyday conversations where someone says:
“I’m always tired.”
“My back’s been killing me.”
“My child can’t focus.”
“I’m stressed out.”
Those are golden moments. 👏

Section 2 – Where to Meet People

You might be thinking, “Okay Laurie, but where do I go to find these people?”

Let’s talk about a few places—online and in person—where you can consistently meet new prospects.

1. Local Events & Community Groups
2. • Farmers markets, church events, mom groups, networking lunches, gyms, and wellness fairs.
   • Always carry sample patches, your phone for videos, and a smile 😊
   • Just start conversations: “Hey, have you ever heard of the neuroscience patch that helps with [insert benefit]?”
3. Social Media (Free Goldmine!)
4. • Use your stories every day to share wins, testimonials, before-and-after pics.
   • Comment on other people’s posts — be interested, not salesy.
   • Message friends and reconnect authentically. “Hey! Saw your post about back pain — I found something natural that’s helped a lot of people. Want to check it out?”
5. Referrals from Happy Customers
6. • “Who do you know who could benefit from this too?”
   • Offer small incentives or freebies if they refer 3 friends who try it.
7. Your Daily Life = Opportunity
8. • Hair salon, post office, school pickup, restaurant server, cashier.
   • Carry samples and say: “I love sharing these with people who are open to natural wellness—can I gift you one to try?”

Section 3 – What to SAY When You Meet Someone

Now once you’ve met someone — what do you say?

Keep it short and curiosity-driven.

Here’s a few examples:

➡️ “I work with a wellness tech that helps people with pain, focus, energy and more—without drugs. Have you heard of it?”
➡️ “I help people improve their quality of life with a simple patch that activates your nervous system. Would you be open to learning more?”

Don’t worry about being perfect. Be genuine. You’re just starting a conversation.

Then, ask if they’d like to watch a 1-minute video or try a sample. Then follow up, follow up, follow up! 💥

Section 4 – Take Action Daily

Growing your customer base is not about talking to 100 people once a month—it's about talking to 2 or 3 every day.
Small, daily steps = big business over time.

Here’s a quick daily checklist:
✅ Post something on social media
✅ Message 2–5 people
✅ Hand out 1–2 samples
✅ Follow up with someone you already talked to
✅ Share a testimonial (yours or someone else’s!)

Consistency wins. Don’t get discouraged. You’re planting seeds daily.

So to wrap this up:

• Know who you’re looking for
• Go where people gather — online AND in your real life
• Say less, ask more, and invite curiosity
• Be consistent and care about people

You’ve got something amazing in your hands. Go share it with confidence and compassion. You never know who’s been praying for what you have.

Let’s go make a difference today! 💪💙

How to Keep It Simple & Duplicate Success in Super Patch

📌 Key Takeaways:

• You’re training people with every conversation—keep it duplicatable.

• Don’t overwhelm—curiosity, not convincing.

• Stop being the expert—point to a tool.

• Use 3rd-party validation: short video, 3-way chats.

• Always ask: "What did you like best?" (focus on the positive).

• Edify everyone: the prospect and the leader.

• Keep the close conversational and natural—"assume the sale."

• Ask key questions:

  • "How much extra would help you each month?"

  • "Are you positive, coachable, and open to learning?"

• Lead with confidence, not pressure.

• This is about them, not you. Don’t overthink it.

• Mastering this = breakthrough in your business.

🔥 Power Phrases to Remember:

• “You’re training them with your words.”

• “Don’t be the tool—point to the tool.”

• “Simple is duplicatable. Complicated kills momentum.”

• “Assume the sale. Don’t ask for permission—lead.”

• “It’s not about closing; it’s about clarity + confidence.”

• “You don’t need to know everything. You need to know where to point.”

💬 Conversation Flow:

1. “I’ll send a quick video—have 10 minutes to watch?”

2. “What did you like best?”

3. “Here’s what I’m going to do—introduce you to my team in a chat.”

4. Edify both parties.

5. Ask: “How much extra per month would make a difference?”

6. “Let’s pick the right kit for you—can I send you the options?”

🧠 Mindset Shift:

• You don’t need to convince.

• You don’t need to have all the answers.

• You just need to guide.
