Selling becomes easier when you can clearly explain the problems you are trying to solve.

Yes, My Iguana Loves to Cha-Cha: Improv, Creativity and CollaborationSteve Portigal
Improv is not "stand-up comedy." It's a series of games with rules that offer huge degrees of freedom within a set of constraints. In these games we bring out a lot of basic, quickly understood and communicated rules of culture that are implicit, not explicit. The activities of design (collaboration, creativity, and design research, for starters) have interesting similarities with improv: All have in-the-moment aspects; we learn upon reflection; there's enormous unspoken interaction and there is often an "aha" moment. Design and improv also have important similarities: the need to collaborate and brainstorm, the importance of breakthrough thinking, the balance between process, structure, and unfettered creativity.
Playing with improv can make us more mindful of the power of listening, and can be harnessed to create a more collaborative work culture, as a way to develop one's own creativity, or to help warm up teammates and clients in workshops and design sessions. In this interactive presentation you will learn more about improv, listening, creativity, and how they all connect together to support one another. No iguanas will be harmed.

Theory: Some clients used to expect digital marketing to be more complicated than it is now. It is helpful to keep objectives simple rather than focusing on technical details like social media or content marketing. Giving clients input on creative direction ensures they are happy with work produced for them.
To succeed, constant effort is needed. Content must be consistently produced while building an audience and reputation for quality over time through various channels. Wins require ongoing testing and improvement rather than single actions.
Apparel marketing faces unique challenges as consumers in this industry are moody, choosy and addicted to new products but not truly loyal to any brand. Successful apparel marketing requires understanding the consumer psychology around self-representation and status. It also means providing accessible, usable products and building a brand narrative around exclusivity, experiences and rituals rather than just logos and symbols. Data-driven targeting and social media are key to reaching consumers across multiple devices and platforms.

Both sides wanted to get a car sold.
The car got sold.

65. The response
NO

It’s a bad idea.
People don’t use
them.
YES, AND!
YES - communicate the many aspects of
your site

distributed

71. So why?
In improv, you’re responsible for the And.
In everyday communication, you may need to help
your partner find the And.
Questions aren’t inherently bad, but there are bad
questions
72. Questions
BAD
Showing off, not trying to get
info
Hidden agenda – you already
know the answer
Not working towards the And

GOOD
Educated – filling in what you
couldn’t find, not asking b/c
you’re not prepared
New perspective – questions

Helping them get to the And

Editor's Notes
Rules – participate, quiet when I’m talking, cell phones, have fun and learn
In the box thinker
1st rule – tell a joke
None – I’d probably have to ask someone where they are, I can work in the dark just fine.
Stereotypes of developers as loners who’d rather have their fingernails pulled out than talk to someone are not completely unfounded.
If you stand out as someone who can not only code like crazy but can communicate with other humans, it’s a huge advantage in your career development

Improv IS communication
Communication to make someone laugh
If you don’t know what the heck I’m talking about, you won’t laugh
Need to get idea to audience
This is basically standup
I need to get my ideas to the other perofrmers, and vie versa
Improves communication with audience
The rules of improv comedy (dirty little secret) AREN’T just about improv comedy
The same rules I used to make people laugh as an improviser are the same ones I use to facilitate meetings, discussions with co-workers, negotiations, my order at Starbucks
Unless you work at home…for yourself…and no clients…and never want to sell anything to anyone ever…you are always communicating, or preparing to communicate.
I scoped this towards career development, and towards developers, so I could give it here, but another dirty little secret is you can use this with any communication

Since improv comedy IS communication, the rules of improv comedy ARE the rules of communication (that’s math)
Once the essence is boiled down, the same ideas used to communicate the funny can be used to communicate your ideas, and most importantly, communicate your ideas WITH others
Not those rules
- start from a positive point
Anyone bought a car recently?
Worst experience ever?
Just hearing someone blindly agree with everything you say is no more useful than someone blindly DISAGREEING with everything you say…and possibly LESS so, since then you don’t have to evaluate what you’re saying.
We remember the people who brought something to the table
Improv example
Best way to And – BE PREPARED
know what’s going to be talked about, have ideas ready to go
Pizza – Manhole Cover example
Play “What are you doing?”
What are you doing?
Dealer doesn’t HAVE a red SUV
OH NO! If this doesn’t close today kiss the bonus goodbye
OH NO! If this doesn’t close today kiss the bonus goodbye
Find the kernels of agreement:
Not NO we don’t have your car, YES we have a similar car
Not NO you can’t come back tomorrow, YES you can have the conversation you need to have
The improv bible
Comedy is funny ONLY if its true
Airplane food
Men and women are different
We laugh at truth because we relate
If we smell bull, we don’t trust. We don’t trust, we don’t listen, communication is dead
Your bull smells – you don’t think so but it does
The dealer said it was end of the month, admitted they had no SUVs on lot – this builds trust
Sometimes things go wrong
Sometimes people aren’t doing the right thing
You need to deal with these IMMEDIATELY
Ever not opened a bill you can’t pay? Doesn’t make it go away
Nobody likes an excuse
But things happen
Tell what happened – people can smell bull, it builds trust
If there was a problem, how will you solve it? Why won’t it happen again?
Always tell the truth, but don’t throw people under the bus.
Truth and fiction are both stories, it’s a matter of how they’re told
Now, on to things that may feel more relevant, as I don’t think we have any car dealers here.
Not our client. If you recognize this site, this is not our client. I just wanted something with cool hazmat suits. Just representative of the general idea.
Seriously. They wanted users to be able to play hangman, on their site. Where they were shopping for safety supplies, or whatever the hell it was. Inside, I was screaming, SCREAMING, NO!!!! When we got back to the office, I said ARE YOU SERIOUS?! NO WAY! But to the president of the huge company who thought this idea was the bees knees?
Sounds so much worse that way doesn’t it?
Do amusement park example
Went down, ended in pool…
SPLASH, TURNS, PLUMMET!
But how about another work-related example…
It’s right, but…
Gets people’s hackles up, they get defensive and plant their flag
What’s that sound?
No questions is a key rule of improv
Why?
Why are they bad?
Showing off – let’s try this new technology I read about (even though I have no idea if it would actually be helpful)
Hidden agenda – “Did you think about how they’re going to validate?”
Filling in gaps – where is this data coming from?
Perspective – Will clients like to register before buying?
