A presentation is a great sales opportunity. Someone has offered the time, the audience and the attention – at least for the start !
Our sales presentation coaching service covers everything from creating compelling content, to making the best use of Powerpoint and crucially giving all presenters confidence in their ability to deliver regardless of the size of audience or venue.
Who is this for:
`The person or team who is / are to deliver a key presentation and / or those who need coaching on how to deliver professional, confident and successful presentations.
How it works :
We focus on the 3 key aspects that make a presentation successful – delivery style, use of voice and compelling, relevant content.
Content – things we cover include :
- Listening to the business explain the objective of the presentation then observing a run through.
- Offering advice and tips on improving the presentation – this will include taking into account the audience the venue, time available, expectation from those being presented to, handling questions and interruptions.
- Checking that the presenter follows the simple ‘rules’ of telling the audience what is coming up (introduction) telling them (presentation) and telling them what you have told them (summary)
- If Powerpoint is involved ensuring it is used as a script not a prompt – the style and enthusiasm of the presenter counts for more than slides laden with text and long sentances.
- Help, if necessary, redraft the presentation
Delivery :
- Through body language and use of voice we help you develop a professional, confident and compelling performance that will encourage the audience to ‘buy’ from you.
- We review the original presentational style and then look at enhancement opportunities. These are then rehearsed to help you develop become confident in your presentational style and skills.
- For voice we will ensure you make the most of the following :
- vocal tone
- inflection
- volume control
- pace
- powerful vocabulary
- We call this voice optimisation
