Recommendations for an Effective Presentation
- Prepare a slide deck (we suggest utilizing a tool such as PowerPoint) with your presentation. Why?
People learn more when they can both see and hear your message. - Each slide should be talking points, no paragraphs. Images encouraged.
- Speak to the points on your slide. You may add commentary. But stick to your points so people know where you are.
- 1 minute max per slide – not too many points on a slide. Changing slides every minute keeps peoples’ attention. Have 7+ slides.
- Follow the mantra of repetition – people retain more
- Tell ‘em what you’re gonna tell ‘em: (Orient your audience)
- Tell ‘em (Deliver your message)
- Tell ‘em what you told ‘em (Repeat what you’ve covered)
- Engaging your audience recommendations
- What is the benefit of what you are offering – what will people receive/enjoy – focus delivering benefits; what you do is how you get them there
- Can you show proof from clients, testimonials- makes you credible
- What is your purpose in presenting:
– To inform? Ask questions to see if people understand
– To have them take action? What’s your action step? Be really clear what you want them to do.
– Be sure to let members know a few very specific referrals you would like them to send your way.
