“What’s Next?” – Tools That Sustain The Conversation After The Presentation
Increasingly the ‘Communicate’ phase of presenting is just the start. You’ve used presentation storytelling to share your sales presentation message, and your audience is hooked…but not quite ready to move on.
There are hidden stakeholders to consider.
There are numbers to be crunched and business cases to be reviewed.
So how do you keep the conversation focused and your sales presentation messaging top of the agenda?
Simple – by using different tools and techniques to SUSTAIN your presentation message.
In Conversation – Don’t Be Afraid To Pop The Question
For a presentation to be of value, it needs to drive change.
You can present the most compelling data, the most engaging stories, and the most profound insights, BUT fail to prompt action from your audience and nothing changes. So what was the point in presenting?
Find out how to incorporate small ‘Call to Action’ changes into your next presentation. The results will speak for themselves.
Show Them You Care
It’s easy to assume that a PowerPoint presentation design agency would focus on nothing other than slides. Wrong! Corporate presentation design delivers value, but combine this with presentation storytelling, and things get exciting. Fill that presentation storytelling with emotion, and you unleash a superpower! Learn how great storytellers, from Charles Dickens to the team behind ‘Toy Story’, use emotion to make audiences care (and then take action).
Is That It?! Why ‘Any Questions?’ Is The Worst Way To End Your Presentation
The ending of a presentation is incredibly important. So why do so many presenters leave their audiences hanging with an abrupt ending, little reason to return or worse still, the dreaded ‘Any Questions’ slide?
The answer? A clearly defined call to action.
Presentation Storytelling is Child’s Play
“I believe children are our future”, once crooned Whitney Houston. How true this is, especially in the fast-moving world of presentations. Our latest blog takes inspiration from our children and their approach to presentation storytelling and PowerPoint design.
