Talking About Talking Points
While everything Matt and Garrett say makes perfect sense to them, they have come to realize that it may not be as clear in the minds of others, and today's episode provides a perfect example of this fact. Thanks to a request sent in by Liz Davis of North Bend, Washington, our hosts devote the entire show today to more fully explaining the use of talking points which they have mentioned in previous episodes.
To begin with, they explain what they mean by a talking point, offer some examples, and demonstrate how they are different from data points. They then offer numerous possibilities for talking point topics, emphasize the importance of using them to educate your people, and explore the possibility of using your own internal data to generate them. As you will discover, preparing informative talking points for every venue and platform will go a long way toward rendering you the 'go to' expert in your field - an enviable position which will prove both personally and professionally valuable.
