“I Want This to Be Interactive…!”


 

“Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it.”

– Robert Frost


 

How many online and virtual demos start like this?


Have you ever been in a situation where you or a colleague said, “I’d like this to be interactive, so please stop me if you have any questions along the way…” but what you or your colleague were really thinking was, “Please don’t stop me with questions because, if you do, I won’t have time to show everything I want to show…!”?

 

 

Moral: Apply Inverted Pyramid to truly encourage and drive interactivity.

 

 

The incredibly useful Inverted Pyramid concept is introduced on page 15 in Great Demo!: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C9SNKC2Y/
