She was utilizing the UCAN method the ENTIRE time…”
This transition is seamless!
Now let me show you…

4) Connecting Similar Ideas
• Usually…

Use these when you’re connecting the same or similar ideas.
Let me show you an example so you can see it in action and then give you a template to use:

Example:
“…and because of it… Wendy lost 30lbs in 12 weeks with ease! Usually…
People would think she:

Here’s how you can do it yourself:
1) introduce the name of your system and how it’s helped X people
2) dive into a specific story and explain what they gained from it
3) transition to…
4) a list of common solutions that are all wrong!
5) introduce your unique mechanism
1) introduce the name of your system and how it’s helped X people
2) dive into a specific story and explain what they gained from it
3) transition to…
