"How to sell an idea. When selling an idea, you should have a clearly defined message about how your idea works, how it will benefit the end user and how it will make money or save money. Your clearly defined message should convey your idea within a short amount of time. Usually within the first three seconds so this way your audience will understand your idea clearly. Keep it simple and always use keywords that will help the audience visualize your idea and its benefits. A new idea is often harder to articulate because there aren't tangible products or services that you can use for your examples. So be sure to test out your message on family and friends before speaking to your audience."
