How to Present Ideas & Give Executive Briefings with Clarity, Persuasion, and Purpose—

and Stand Out and Above Your Competition
 

“Ideas…are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else.” John Maynard Keynes, the most influential economist of the 20th Century
 

The main goal of this course is to enable sales and marketing professionals to win clients by standing out from their competition through the power of clear, motivating ideas, powerfully presented. This course is built on the conviction, that too many sales reps do a “dog and pony” show, failing to connect with their audiences and forgetting to use proven principles of persuasion that gain audience agreement. Most sales presentations lack the content, conviction, and delivery to make winning ideas clear and memorable. This course will show you how to stand out when you present. 

The skills taught in this class are useful when presenting to large groups, smaller groups informally across a conference table, or to one-on-one meetings with key decision makers.
 

Learning Objectives and Skill Development

Course Length: ½ day; preclass PREP WORK OPTIONAL (if you come prepared with a presentation, you will get an opportunity to have your work coached for improvement ideas).

This training session develops several key skills and provides effective methods for further improvement of those skills after the class. This course will:

  • Provide a methodology for planning, preparing and delivering powerful presentations.

  • Provide skills to give effective executive briefings that gain commitment.

  • Teach you how to be persuasive, gaining credibility for yourself, your company, and your ideas.

  • Assess individual strengths and areas for improvement through feedback.

  • Integrate these skills by using Microsoft® PowerPoint® and other electronic technology.

You will gain immediate benefit from the class by working on a key work-related presentation. After the class, you will leave with an improved presentation and improved skills for delivering presentations.

Course Model

This course will challenge participants to work hard and apply the principles during and after the class by:

  • Providing a working model for developing and delivering presentations.

  • Use your business presentations as a working model so you leave with an improved tool.
