In science, the credit goes to the man who convinces the world,
not the man to whom the idea first occurs. Sir Francis Darwin, Son of Charles Darwin
Why Invest your Time and Money
to Give Better Presentations?
Because,
the outcome of your presentation
determines whether you:
• Procure the Contract
• Appear in the Press
• Secure the Investors
• Maximize your Sales Opportunities
• Persuade the Government Agency
• Promote Confidence in you and your Company
• Correctly Position Yourself, your Company, or your Product
Your career and your life
revolve around presentations!
Don’t fall into the trap of believing that product knowledge is enough. That all you have to do is tell them about the features or benefits and they’ll reach for their checkbook. Or that the audience will somehow figure out your intended message and sign on the dotted line.
Too many times the sale goes to
the best presentation,
not the best company or best product.
We’re ALL selling,
whether personal or business
Let Victor show you how to . . .
• turn your presentations into sales
• make your conferences productive, not painful
• ensure your presentations accomplish all objectives
It’s about
Influencing an Outcome
Let Victor help plan your presentation:
• What is the makeup of the audience?
• What does the audience specifically want / need?
• What will convince them?
• What to emphasize, what to minimize
• What is the critical sequence
• What will build instant rapport
Powerful presentations:
The difference
between failure and success.
Why you should work with a speech coach
Presentations are complex, with countless subtle nuances. Speaking is an elastic balance of many things, including: informing, persuading, selling, and performing. It’s not limited to great gestures. Great presentations transcend great gestures.
You have to dig deep down into yourself – to be yourself – to be a great speaker. Make sure your coach can help you do that.
It’s also about people. The right coach knows people.
That is, they know:
Psychology, Sociology
Persuasion, Motivation
Sales, Marketing
Public Relations
Popular Culture
In summary, are they the right coach?
Do you want business coaching as well?
That is: Motivation, Accountability, Speech Writing
Assistance with writing your book
The right coach will create a “stand alone” speaker in you so that you eventually don’t need them, short of tune-ups, critiques or a sounding board for upcoming presentations.
Finally, the personality fit, the right coach will tell you what you need to hear. And do it in a straightforward way versus a roundabout, more costly way. Their motives must be honest and in your best interest.
So choose carefully.
Gut feelings count in this arena. Good luck.
Success Story
Abstract, NY Times, January 11, 2007, Hillary Chura in Small Business column, C 7
R. W. Armstrong & Associates, a civil engineering project management company in Indianapolis, first hired a speaker trainer two years ago to help prepare it for a pitch worth millions of dollars. The company went in as the underdog but clinched the deal after working on timing, learning how to use descriptive words, introduce co-workers and present itself with poise and cohesion, said Donna Gadient, director for human resources. She said the company paid about $8,000 to $10,000 for a day of training for 25 people and that the guidance continues to help employees speak on their feet.
Sharon McRill, founder of the Betty Brigade, a concierge company in Ann Arbor, Mich., hired a coach, Eleni Kelakos, after agreeing to deliver a Chamber of Commerce breakfast speech in 2005. Ms. McRill said that while she was comfortable one-on-one, she felt sick addressing a group. After learning breathing and relaxation techniques, her ums stopped, confidence soared and she was able to stay on message.
