The Restate Framework / Stage 03
Stage 03 of 06 · Follow the right signals
Credibility.
Why should anyone believe you?
The audience is the protagonist. You earn attention with understanding and proof.
The stage, in three
Understanding. Proof. The right to be heard.
- 1
Understanding
Show you know the audience's situation, in their language, down to the meeting.
- 2
Proof
Name what you've delivered, for whom, and why it mattered.
- 3
The right to be heard
Understanding plus proof. Neither works alone, and both have to be specific to the sector.
The test
Credibility has to be shown. Name a customer who trusted you with something that mattered.
Without it
The company becomes the protagonist. Claims replace proof, and the audience stops listening.
With it
Proof points matched to the exact question the audience is asking.
Questions we ask in the room
- What does your audience worry about that competitors ignore?
- What have you delivered that proves you understand them?
- Who inside your company has earned the right to speak?
- What risk is the audience taking by believing you?
- How have you proven yourself to your best customers?
