Improve Presentations

Making a presentation strikes fear into many hearts. It ranks alongside going to the dentist or being put into a cage with a hungry lion or two! Wherever it sits along the fear scale for you, this guide is designed to get through it if not actually reaching the point of enjoying giving a presentation. This guide includes: how to research and prepare a presentation; how to structure a presentation; how to manage information overload; how to use scripts, prompts, visual aids, and handouts; and more.

Most people want to improve their presentations but don't know where to start—and that can be costly. That is where this book can help. Terri Sjodin has done the heavy lifting and eliminated the guesswork by providing specific solutions to guide you through the process of crafting an improved presentation to use at your very next meeting. She shares the results of her multi-year research project—which identified twelve common sales presentation mistakes that may cost an individual the win, the deal, or the opportunity—and shows how to avoid them.

This guidebook deals with the basics of interpersonal communication.
