In many instances, presentations are the last impression a customer has of a company before closing a business deal
Sales communication is about getting others to adopt your point of view, to help them understand why you’re excited, optimistic, caring, believable, empathetic, etc. If all you want to do is create a sales presentation full of graphs, facts, and figures, then cancel the meeting and send in a report.
Before beginning a presentation, it’s important to ask yourself questions about your audience. Who are they? What are their needs, and how can you address them? How can the information you have make their lives better? What do you want them to do after the presentation is over?
Describe your audience, including some combination of their fears and needs, and state the opportunities and challenges you need to address in your communications. And of course, don’t overlook their state of mind when they sit down to hear your message.

Your prospect invites you to deliver your presentation. You have all the decision-makers together in one room at the same time. Quick check: How will you get their attention? Like most of us, prospects have other things on their minds. Perhaps they have just come out of a meeting on budgets, or they’re worrying about how to handle an unresolved issue.
Your first goal is to pull your listeners into the present and break through the mental clutter and physical distractions that plague today’s business audiences.
In today’s more complex selling process, a successful sales presentation can be more like a play in a football game; it is a tool that advances the sale.
The art of delivering a sales presentation transcends technique and enables an individual to remove walls and connect with an audience. To inform or persuade in a very meaningful, unique moment in time. Although presentation techniques have changed as digital technology has progressed, the fundamentals of what makes an effective sales presentation today are essentially the same as they ever were.
When trying to connect with others during a presentation, you must remember that it’s not all about you. Audiences detest arrogance and self-centeredness. Self-centred people don’t connect. No one wants to work with or sit through a presentation given by someone like that. So why are presentations rife with self-centred content? Most presentations start with “me-ness.”
Presentations are the currency of business activity because they are the most effective tool to transform an audience, yet many presentations are boring. Most are a dreadful failure of communication. Audiences are screaming “make it clear,” not “cram more in.” You won’t often hear an audience member say, “That presentation would have been so much better if it were longer.”
Planning a presentation is like building a house. You want to first make sure you have a design and a solid foundation that will produce the results you want. All of the cool videos and flashy graphics in the world can’t make up for faulty structure or inconsistent messaging.
Presentations should have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Two clear turning points in a presentation’s structure guide the audience through the content and distinctively separate the beginning from the middle and the middle from the end.
The next step is to give your core message and supporting messages a logical structure. Structure will help bring order to your presentation and make it easier for you to deliver it smoothly and for your audience to understand your message easily.
A big idea is that one key message you want to communicate. It contains the impetus that compels the audience to set a new course with a new compass heading. Focus on one idea. The rule of “one slide, one idea” can keep your presentation clean, clear, and on point.
Though people usually err on the side of making presentation slides more complicated than they need to be, it is indeed possible to be “too simple.” Simplicity is the goal, but to paraphrase Albert Einstein, “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.
Design is necessary to organize information in a way that makes things clearer; it can make things easier for the viewer or the user. Design is also a medium for persuasion. It is not decoration.
One of the most important things to remember when delivering a presentation is to be fully present at that moment. A good presenter is fully committed to the now, committed to being there with the audience at that particular place and time.
Good presentations are about sharing ideas and connecting on an intellectual and emotional level in an honest and sincere way. People don’t care what you sell until they know that you care.
Engagement is about tapping the emotions of the audience to get them involved on a personal level with the material, whatever it may be. Like it or not, humans are emotional beings. True, logic is necessary to persuade us, but it is rarely sufficient.
The purpose of public speaking can range from
simply transmitting information, to motivating people to act, to simply telling a story. A good orator should be able to change the emotions of their listener, not just inform them.
A New York Times article described a study made at the visual-perception lab at Queen Mary University of London, in which “subjects were asked to look at a video of a face that turned to stare directly at them. People found the gaze enjoyable, but only for about three seconds. After that, it became unsettling.” The article then concluded, “The polite thing also winds up being the creepy thing.
