What Nobody Ever Tells You About Presenting

Most likely, you’ve heard this advice: people buy from people they trust. The interesting thing is: what do they buy? The decision to purchase works for tangible and intangible items--across the board. It’s not just for products and services. People buy other things based on trust. Specifically, they buy into advice, ideas, recommendations, and suggestions from those who they know and believe. What makes you believable to people who don’t know you already? A well-structured story.

Lose a Little Weight, Your Results Win Big

You don't need to be "the biggest loser," in dropping the most weight like the winner of the reality television series, to win big results in weight loss. Losing a little fat and flab from your presentation can have an extremely positive effect on your sales health--no matter how overweight your slide deck may be. Impatient audiences, busy executives and harried consumers share one thing in common. They are easily bored by lengthy and weighty presentations. That means: 200 slides, tedious word-only slides, and rambling dissertations are likely to bring poor results.
