Pitching Ideas: How to sell your ideas to othersJeroen van Geel
Learn how to convince others of your UX ideas by understanding them.
We are good in designing usable and engaging products and services. We understand the user's needs and have a toolkit with dozens of deliverables. But for some reason it remains difficult to sell an idea or concept to team members, managers or clients. After this session that problem will be solved!
Selling your ideas and convincing others is one of the most undervalued assets in our field. This ranges from convincing a colleague to use a certain design pattern to selling research to your boss and convincing a client to go for your concept. You can come up with the best ideas in the world, but if it is presented in the wrong way these ideas will die a lonely dead. This is sad, because everybody can learn how to bring a message across. The main thing is that you know what to pay attention to.
In this session I will take you on a journey through the world of presenting ideas. We will move through the heads of clients and your colleagues, learn what their thoughts and needs are. We will move to the core of your idea and into the world of psychology.
The Science of Story: How Brands Can Use Storytelling To Get More CustomersDigital Surgeons
Storytelling is not only an entertaining source for information, but a way to engage and humanize our messages that helps them stick. Our brains are wired for stories. Like a drug, we seek them out. Good stories create lasting emotional connections that persuade, educate, entertain, and convert consumers into brand loyalists.
Here’s another good reason to believe in the power of stories: You don't have a goddamn choice. We spend a third of our waking hours crafting stories, and the rest of the time consuming them. Our brains are always searching for stories. You need stories. You live your life around stories. Your life itself is a story. So, now find out how you can use them to better understand how brands and businesses can use storytelling to increase engagement and sales.
This is the first SlideShare adaption of Timothy E. Johansson's 100 Growth Hacks in 100 Days. The growth hacks that's included in the slide are 1 to 10. Timothy is the front-end developer at UserApp (www.userapp.io).
This is a minimal concept you should consider for your PowerPoint slides in order to make them more engaging and exciting.
I work as a presentation designer and help speakers and marketers with their pitches. If you need help with any of these concepts, drop me an email and I will be happy to help.

Content to Convert :: Part Deux / Putting Strategy into your Content Marketinge-Strategy
What is content.
Content is...
• the staff within your business. Think of Hooters... not literally. Be Unique.
• the design of your shop/office. Google for example - Free WiFi lets them share
• your products and services. Think of Coffee shops and ‘Latte Art’
• things like the menus on your tables. You could deliver your Menus on iPads?
• the Branding of your Business. Sofa King & “prices that are Sofa King low!”
• your company values. Associations with charities and causes are great.
• your customers. User generated content on experiences via social.
• EVERYTHING. Just understand your goal & what you are trying to achieve.
This document provides tips for getting more engagement from content published on SlideShare. It recommends beginning with a clear content marketing strategy that identifies target audiences.

Speaker Guide
You’ve been selected to give a TEDx Talk. Congrats! You’re doing great so far. Now what?
Over the years we’ve come up with a few dos and don’ts on how to give a great talk.
Though these steps are in no way comprehensive, they contain some guiding principles
that have been known to work.
Step 1: Get familiar with the form »
Step 2: Develop an idea »
Step 3: Make an outline and script »
Step 4: Create slides »
Step 5: Rehearse »
Step 6: Give your talk »
Step 7: Savor the glory »
1) Get familiar with the form
What is a TEDx Talk?
TEDx Talks are a showcase for speakers presenting well-formed ideas in under 18
minutes. If you haven’t seen a TEDx Talk, go to TED.com and watch at least one. Like this
one: Phil Plait: How to defend Earth from asteroids
Why 18 minutes?
Because it works. An audience is good at focusing on one subject at a time in relatively
short chunks.
But, really, can I go over 18 minutes?
No -- it wouldn't be a TEDx Talk. The time limit is part of what makes TEDx Talks work.
And remember: Shorter talks are not lesser talks. It may only take 5 minutes to make your
point unforgettably. Like this one: Joe Smith: How to use a paper towel
2) Develop an idea
What makes a good idea for a talk?
Like a good magazine article, your idea can be new or surprising, or challenge a belief your
audience already has. Or it can be a great basic idea with a compelling new argument
behind it.
An idea isn’t just a story or a list of facts. A good idea takes evidence or observations and
draws a larger conclusion.
Do I need to be an expert on my topic?
You do not need to be the world’s foremost expert on the topic, but you do have to be an
expert. Please remember that the audience relies on you to give accurate information, so
whatever you say in your talk, please fact-check — especially facts you may take for
granted: statistics, historical anecdotes, scientific stats. If you're drawing an example from
a discipline that is not your main area of knowledge, use research from widely accepted
and peer-reviewed sources, and, if at all possible, consult with experts directly.
Is my idea ready?
http://www.ted.com/talks/phil_plait_how_to_defend_earth_from_asteroids.html
http://www.ted.com/talks/phil_plait_how_to_defend_earth_from_asteroids.html
http://www.ted.com/talks/joe_smith_how_to_use_a_paper_towel.html
http://www.ted.com/talks/joe_smith_how_to_use_a_paper_towel.html
Write your idea down in one or two sentences. Ask yourself three questions:
Is my idea new?
Are you telling people something you're pretty sure they have not heard before?
Is it interesting?
Think about how your idea might apply to a room full of varied kinds of people. Who might
be interested in it?
Is it factual and realistic?
If you are presenting new research, make sure your idea is backed by data and peer-
reviewed. If you are presenting a call to action, make sure it can be executed by members
of your audience.
If you ans.
