About this listen
A well-crafted one-pager isn't just a shorter document—it’s a leadership tool. In this tactical episode, we cover:
- What a one-pager really is—and what it’s not (spoiler: it’s not a brochure)
- Why a great one-pager forces intellectual rigor and fuels faster decisions
- Real-world applications: sales, fundraising, internal alignment, investor pitches, product briefs, executive summaries
- Core building blocks: clarity, purpose, structure, visuals, and calls to action
- Step-by-step best practices from LAC’s fieldwork: define your audience, layout logically, highlight essentials, use strategic visuals, add social proof, and end with a compelling CTA
- Special models and variations: Amazon's press release model, Basecamp’s shape-up pitch, and the Lean Canvas
- Pro tips for crafting one-pagers that win with executive audiences: brevity, fact-based messaging, visual simplicity, and strategic structure
- The "Three-Two-One Launch" method to preflight and validate your one-pager before it goes wide
Whether you’re preparing a project pitch, refining your leadership communication, or aligning your team around a critical initiative, mastering the one-pager could transform how you move ideas into action.
