How many digits of Pi do you remember?<\/p>\n
How many digits of Pi do you utilice<\/em>?!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The math constant \u03c0 (Pi) has an approximate value of: 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197\u2026<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For many calculations we round this down to 3.14, but for a quick estimate of a circle\u2019s circumference or area we simply use 3. Why? Because the single digit is much easier to remember and use!<\/p>\n In our doctor-patient interactions example (see previous posts below), the actual first-year net gain was $11,738,000. This is the correct number, but it is hard to remember (try saying it rapidly several times\u2026!).<\/p>\n $11.7 million is quite a bit easier and saying ~$12 million is even more so.<\/p>\n Along similar lines, if you found that your prospect could redeploy 5.27 FTE to other, more productive tasks, you have several choices of what to communicate:<\/p>\n En la mayor\u00eda de las situaciones, los n\u00fameros simples son el enfoque recomendado. Sin embargo, puede haber situaciones en las que el impacto de un n\u00famero muy concreto<\/a> is particularly memorable and effective.<\/p>\n For example, in a estudiar<\/a> de la eficacia de las demostraciones, los autores analizaron 67.149 grabaciones de demostraciones. Al presentar los resultados del estudio, decir el n\u00famero exacto de 67.149 pareci\u00f3 tener m\u00e1s impacto que redondearlo a \"unas sesenta y siete mil\".<\/p>\n Bonus: Para un libro estupendo sobre la comunicaci\u00f3n de n\u00fameros, lea Hacer que los n\u00fameros cuenten<\/em><\/a> by Chip Heath and Karl Starr. Many of the ideas in this series of posts are drawn from their work.<\/p>\n Double Bonus: Chip and his brother Dan also wrote that seminal book on storytelling, Hecho para pegar<\/em><\/a>que deber\u00eda ser de lectura obligatoria para todos los que trabajan de cara al cliente.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And here are the other posts in this series so far \u2013 enjoy!<\/p>\n https:\/\/greatdemo.com\/calculating-value-numbers-you-should-know\/<\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/greatdemo.com\/which-vendor-statement-has-more-impact\/<\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/greatdemo.com\/arithmancy-the-magic-of-numbers\/<\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/greatdemo.com\/making-monetary-numbers-tangible\/<\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/greatdemo.com\/value-statements-need-to-align-with-job-title\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n
