Efficient business presentations that work magic!
Whether you're a salesperson or a corporate executive, business
presentations to your target audiences are your stock in trade.
An effective presentation can serve to communicate your message,
enhance your credibility, and close the deal. On the other hand,
a poor presentation can diminish even the most promising product
or service.
When it comes to a business presentation, procrastination won't
serve you well. Preparation is key to successful business
presentations. Whether you're preparing for a managing change
presentation or business presentations to sell your company's
services, always have answers to these basic questions:
Who is your target audience? Gaining an understanding of the
needs of your client - whether it's a Fortune 500 company or a
mom-and-pop retailer - will allow you to tailor your business
presentations to address their specific concerns.
What distinguishes you from your competition? Understanding your
competition can give you an edge in your business presentations,
since you can highlight the special features of your product or
service.
What added value can you give your target audience? Whether
you're giving a business presentation at a conference or in a
boardroom, think about ways to add value to what you're
offering. Value-added items could be a free workbook, an
extended service warranty, or a designated support staff person
for that account.
Once you know who your target audience is and what you need to
present, it's time to determine the best way to communicate your
message. You don't have to take a presentation design course to
learn effective communication skills
through the use of
technology. There are many resources on the Internet that can
help you design your business presentations to optimize their
effectiveness.
Nick Paulus, an executive and business coach who offers online
articles on effective business presentations, advises that you
"abandon old-fashioned rinky-dink presentations that are a bore,
weaken your message, and have proven counterproductive. Go for
bright, imaginative and matter-of-fact presentations instead!"
Paulus recommends hard-hitting PowerPoint presentations and
offers these tips:
* Create strong headlines on all of your slides
* Use a title page that excites your audience
* Avoid filling your slides with long text; instead, use
striking graphic depictions that keep your audiences' interest
* Avoid boring bullet points by replacing them with symbols
arranged in a non-linear fashion
* Build up your slide step by step, using "Appear."
Planning for and executing effective business presentations make
both you and your company shine. Ask the right questions, and
employ the proper technology and techniques to communicate your
message while enticing your audience.
