James Warfield loves to engage an audience. This is the ‘best’ self-promo intro I’ve ever read:
Tease, tempt, wow. Make them laugh, get them involved, spread your butter, love your brand, sit their bums firmly in their seats and open their eyes a little bit wider.
That slight turn of the head, placing one ear more closely to the speaker, that’s the effect I have. This goal isn’t bound by media. I’ve strategised, digitised and advertised. Bring me more.
Mission accomplished? You judge.
