First, we will look at conclusions, then introductions. https://www.hamilton.edu/academics/centers/oralcommunication

Conclusions: “End your speech with an attitude, not a platitude.” Listeners are most likely to remember and act on a speech that ends with a strong conclusion.

Conclusions: Speech conclusions do one, two, or all three of the following things: Alert the audience that the speech is coming to an end. Summarize the key points of the speech. Challenge the audience to respond. Not verbally, but through action.
