Lessons Learned:
- Team Approach, always introduce members of your team upfront, they are part of your success
- Focus on the “why”, understand your audience
- If multiple people are presenting, coordinate ahead of time to look cohesive as a team
- If introducing marketing technique, unique discriminators, amplify, expound, show the value added
- Have the right mix of images and text, what may be obvious to you, may not be to your audience, plus remember, if you are going to leave a handout of your material with your audience, some text will help
- Dry run (Practice) your presentation with your team prior to “show time” to 1) gain their feedback and 2) so that if multiple members are going to present, that it flows smoothly
- Use supporting data if it is available i.e. if you are talking about marketing, show some statistics, use demographics, market niche/target audience
- Start strong, finish strong. Be clear, leave no room for doubt or ambiguity.
