“Memory Hooks” are short and concise so they can be easily recalled and easily spoken.
- – If you have to take a breath, it’s too long.
- – If yours can’t be remembered 2 minutes (or two weeks) after hearing it, it’s too complicated.
- – If it has a “lead in” phrase it helps your chapter members say it along with you.
I always remember a whole slew of Memory Hooks from my chapter members because each is clear, concise, clever, or a combination of these three “C”s
- – “Friends Don’t Let Friends Rent”
- – “Let Me be Paranoid For You”
- – “I Make Taxes Less Taxing”
- – …when you work with me, “You Have Nothing to Lose But Your Writer’s Block”
- – …every business has a personality, “And I Can Help Yours Get Noticed”
- – “Taking the Gifted From Good to Great”
