"
Creator of The Eyebrow Test ®. The author originated this tangible way to "Test Market Your Idea in 5 Seconds for Free." After hearing thousands of people fumble their chance to close a deal, she realized people needed a way to quickly assess whether they were "getting through." Try it. Pitch your idea, venture or cause to someone in one minute. Now, watch their eyebrows. If they're knitted or furrowed, they didn't get it - which means you won't get their respect, money or business. You want their eyebrows to go up because it means you just won buy-in.
