Explain
@izatlouk
What does the sound bite mean?Do not forget to start with why, keep it simple and tie it to emotions! (Do not talk about how great you are, but what the solution will bring to the listener and his audience, so he/she can picture it)
Quit UX newspeak! Use words your grandma understands.

Give Evidence
@izatlouk
Support your explanation by examples, analogies, logical sequences, i.e. evidence that shows your solution is the best one.These examples do not make listeners think and help them accept your solution to the problem.

Conclude!
@izatlouk
Do not forget to tell the listener where does all that you have just said lead to and why is your solution the best one.
Education is what remains after you forgot everything
