A foundational phrase is a 10-word sentence upon which the whole message of your speech is built. (i.e. Craig Valentine’s “Your speech is not for sale.”) Many speakers will use rhyming words in their foundational phrases. This website is helpful to use in the process: Rhymer.com
Do you present to audiences about speaking or humor? I offer my educational tools wholesale, so you can offer them at your programs and start earning solid income at your very next presentation.
Requirements: You must purchase one product at full price. (It’s essential that you believe in what you’re offering, and can refer to it in your presentation.) Then you can invest in as few as 2 more, which you can get at half-price. This will allow you to have professional product to get started until you create your own.
(Here’s an example… Randy Harvey, 2004 World Champion, is speaking internationally on humor. He doesn’t yet have an educational tool in the area of humor. He purchased 25 Make ’em Laugh sets & 20 Just for Laffs DVDs to take with him when he gives presentations.)
