The impact of your presentation – don’t leave it to chance

The impact of your presentation is not an accidental by-product of that presentation. It is something you create deliberately. And this is a vital recognition – one of the basic secrets of success in public speaking.

Before you can work on creating that impact, you need to know what you want it to be. Define the Impact
What exactly is the impact going to be? In other words, you need to define:
How will your audience respond to your speech or presentation?

What will they take away with them and remember?

What will they remember of you?

Why will they think “Wow what a fabulous presentation!”?

Sales presentation success

Initially he was angry…
He just received a $500 bill from a plumber and the plumber was in his home for less than 10 minutes.
That’s when he questioned the plumber…
“How can you charge $500 for less than 10 minutes of work when all you did was bang a couple pipes?”
The plumber’s response was simple…
“Well sir, it’s $5 for the 10 minutes I was here and $495 for knowing exactly where to bang the pipe!”
The lesson is simple…
The difference between failure and success is sometimes very small.
However, knowing exactly what to tweak can be the difference between making a few hundred dollars or a few thousand dollars.
Here’s a few real-world examples:

When you click that link, you’ll find a detailed video presentation where you’ll hear how a few simple (but very powerful) persuasion techniques can very quickly translate into thousands of extra sales.
Little tweaks… big returns.
It’s about knowing “what” to tweak in your sales presentation and how to tweak it to get the absolute best result.
Some of the stories you’ll hear about are fascinating…
All they did was tweak a few minor things but the results were dramatic…
One person went from selling zero one week to $82,000 the next.
Another person averaged over $250,000 from each of his next 5 presentations.
One student did over $500,000 in one of his very next sales presentations using these “tweaks”.
Please understand something…
These aren’t major changes to the content of their presentation.
They are subtle selling techniques that have an enormous difference to your bottom line.
In fact, after this training, countless students  are now averaging over 20% in their closing ratio.

Writing a speech? Use visualisation

While writing a speech, you would think, would involve a pen and paper, or maybe a word processor. But one very vital aspect of writing a speech his visualisation. Visualisation is an incredibly useful tool. You can visualise the feelings you have as you present. Visualise your surroundings and how they work for you. Visualise the audience – who they are, what they are thinking, how they are responding. Visualise them as they stand to leave. What are they thinking now? What will they do in response to you presentation?

All of those things will provide the criteria you need when you are choosing the words to say, the structure of your speech, the language you use and the stories you tell.

Aims of public speaking

There are three things to aim at in public speaking: first, to get into your subject, then to get your subject into yourself, and lastly, to get your subject into the heart of your audience

Create impact with your presentation

The impact of our presentation is not an accidental by-product of a presentation. It is something you create
deliberately.

The first thing to do is to define what it is that you want to create. What exactly is the impact going to be? In other words, you need to define:

How will your audience respond to your speech or presentation?

What will they take away with them and remember?

What will they remember of you?

Why will they think “Wow what a fabulous presentation!”?

Start by defining the purpose of your presentation or speech.

What do you want its impact to be?

You need to articulate whether you want to inform, persuade, inspire, motivate, entertain, shock … You
may even want to do several of these things – in different parts of your presentation. But they must not
be left to chance or you risk creating “Ho-hum …” rather than “wow!”

Grab audience attention for your speech right from the start

And the first part of any speech or presentation is to gain that attention – arouse it, focus it and keep it.  Don’t waste your breath on the expected or the blah.  If you must begin with something like “Good evening”, then make it different, or unusual.

Here in Australia, we might say “G’day!”  That would be unexpected from a speaker, but well understood.  Otherwise use your voice and body language to make the greeting unusual, challenging, noticeable.

Use pause here.

Then use an opening that grabs the attention.  You can use a question, a joke, a comment about the people or surroundings or event.

You can make a statement, use a quotation, or simply use body language or gesture.  But choose that opening to grab attention, to align with the audience and their needs, hopes and aspirations, and to lead into your message.
