Ready to see my 34 slides?

"Thanks for your attention through my obnoxiously long presentation…any questions?"

The buyer responds, "Yeah, I have one…who taught you it’s okay to run through that many slides without breathing?"

(Namaste.)

Whether you’re presenting slides, a demo, or sales collateral, acknowledge you’re competing with your buyers’ phone. It’s estimated that an individual checks their phone 1,500 times a week!

Tight meeting presentations bring smiles…and high engagement.

Prepare for your next customer conversation by focusing on you and the pitch:

1. You. Do you present yourself confidently? Are you verbally brief and clear? Are you knowledgeable yet humble? …are you smiling?

2. The pitch. …throw it away. Nobody cares. What they care about is your mastery of the solutions you offer and understanding of their challenges.

Ask good questions that show you’ve done your homework, and let the customer feel like they own the conversation.

Presenting means a lot of different things to sellers. But the core of presenting is how you speak.

In this TED Talk titled "How to speak so that people want to listen," you will get inspired by sound and communication expert Julian Treasure.

Julian will help you better prepare for how you present to your customers in those meetings that took you great pains to secure!
