If it takes more than one meeting to explain what you do, you have a messaging problem.

In this live conversation from Intersolar North America, Nico Johnson sits down with Spenser Meeks of Apex Presentations to unpack why so many clean energy teams struggle to clearly communicate their value—and how that confusion shows up as longer sales cycles, more meetings, and missed opportunities.

"It takes time to make something clear and concise." – Spenser Meeks

Spenser, a former engineer turned messaging strategist, breaks down a simple shift: say less, but make it matter. When your message is clear, it becomes easier to connect, qualify, and move deals forward.

Expect to learn:

🔹 Why “there’s just too much to say” is hurting your pitch
🔹 How to tailor your own clear, effective introduction
🔹 The two stories every team should be able to tell on demand
🔹 The simple four-part framework for a high-impact elevator pitch

If your team is working too hard to explain what you do, this conversation will help you simplify.
