The importance of business presentation is definitely hard to ignore when it comes to the matter of business. Whether your audience are the customers, team members or company executives, how you present your proposal and ideas is very crucial to its success. As a presenter, you need to inspire positive reactions during your presentation and that is only possible if you put effort and thought into your presentation. Otherwise, you will only bore your audience if you appear unfocused and unprepared, and more likely they won’t be interested with your proposal. So here are some tips that can help you make your business presentation attractive and interesting:

• This one is a no-brainer, but there is no such thing as over preparing. The more important the presentation is, the more would you want to prepare ahead of time. Being prepared bestows you with confidence that could be crucial to the success of your business presentation. The more you prepare, the more you will be able to determine the key points, plan for emergencies and the more you likely you will be able to answer the questions that will be thrown at you during the presentation.
• In order to have an effective presentation, you need to be clear with regards to the message that you are trying to convey. In addition to that you need to present that message in a way that the audience would find it memorable and entertaining. A typical audience either wants to learn something new or they want to be entertained. Providing with them both guarantees you a positive response.
• It is important that you know the audience beforehand. Knowing your audience will enable you plan your presentation according to their interest and concern. Don’t even think about making a presentation that generally caters to all because you will only end up with a generic and boring presentation. Cater to your audience and you’re sure that you will have most of their attention during the entire duration of your presentation.
• If you are going to do a business presentation, make sure that you take advantage of visual aids. Graphical representations can have more impact to your audience and can also keep their attention level high. Fortunately, modern technology allows us to utilize devices like a rear projection screen or film projector in order to improve business presentations through visual aids.
• Not all of us are born to be natural public speakers, so in order to compensate for this, you need to practice. The more you get nervous during public speaking, the more you need to practice. Practice loosens you up and makes the act of presenting come across naturally. Practice with a mirror or practice with some people you know like family, friends and colleagues. Just keep practicing until your presentation becomes natural.

Not all of us are very gifted when it comes to pitching ideas, but with the right amount of preparation and practice, there is no reason why one shouldn’t improve.

There are many things that people fear and out of control credit card debt is not something that always comes first to someone’s mind when they think about the worst financial hardship that could happen. But, when it does happen to someone, it can feel as though it is the worst thing ever and that they are buried so far that they will never see any light. But this does not have to be true as there are many ways to go about fixing the problem including debt negotiation. What credit card debt negotiation does is take the debt you owe and either reduces the total amount that you owe or find a way to make it easier to pay it off.

Generally, when a credit account hits a collection agency, there is more room to work a debt negotiation plan. This means that if you owe a total of four thousand dollars, they may be willing to take a lump sum payment of two thousand dollars and call the debt paid off. This helps the company in that they are finally receiving money from the debtor and the debtor is helped by the reduced amount of debt. Credit card debt negotiation plans are often a win-win situation for both parties involved. And while it is true that there will be a small mark on your credit for paying less then the total due, the affect is much less then leaving the debt sit or filing bankruptcy.

What to Do

If you look at your card statement, you will see that your interest rate is listed on there in a spot that is easy to find. If your rate is over 10% then you have something you can use for negotiating credit card debt. These are arbitrary numbers set by the credit card company and you can use them when you are negotiating debt. As long as you always pay your principle you are fine. I had a friend that would call his credit card companies once a year and tell them that if they didn’t lower their interest rates he was paying the card off in full and canceling it. More often than not the rates got lowered. This also affects your monthly payment and can help you control your monthly debt.

The best and generally the cheapest way to go about tackling debt negotiation is to call each of your creditors yourself and explain your hardship. While not every single credit card company or collection agency will be able and willing to accept a deal, there is a good chance that one or even a few of those on your list that you owe will be willing to work with you. Even though you would love to see every creditor on your list cut your debt in half, the fact is, even if one or two were able to slice your debt in half, you will have been successful in your credit card debt negotiation.

If you are feeling that you are not outgoing enough or maybe you are just simply too scared or shy to contact your creditors, you may need the assistance of someone else. There are agencies that are dedicated in helping you with credit card debt negotiation and since it is their job, they may know a few tricks that you do not and this could make all the difference in getting it done. It never hurts to call in some professional help but try to stay away from those who want to charge you excessive fees for their assistance because successful credit card debt negotiation cannot be promised although the success rate for skilled negotiators is extremely high.

Remember the movie, “Field of Dreams”? The movie’s mantra was, “If you build it, they will come.” Along those same lines, in a persuasive presentation, if you SOLVE their problem, they will BUY. Let me explain.

Many of you have heard and read my “bespeakism” turn your focus 180°; imploring you to put yourself in the audience’s seat. Once you’re there, ask yourself, what’s bothering them? What’s keeping them up at night? What’s a PROBLEM they have that your product or service can SOLVE? Once you figure that out, you’re ready to begin building a presentation that will truly persuade them.

Begin by illustrating for them what their “Picture” looks like; where they currently are. Include in that picture, a crystal clear view of their problem. Now ears have perked up; heads are nodding. They’re listening because you’ve shown them that you “get” them. More important, you’ve just brought out in the open the thing that’s keeping them up at night! “Yes!” they’re thinking, “That’s exactly where I am! If only someone could help me with this problem.”

Enter YOU and your proposal for solving this problem. (By the way, this kind of intro works just as effectively for informative presentations; you have to give the audience a compelling reason to listen and learn − illuminating a problem they’re facing that your information will help them solve is the best way to capture their interest.) For those of you in the selling business (and who isn’t?) this is when you tell them in PLAIN English (think smart savvy 11 year old), using BIG BOLD BRAVE words what your solution is.

Next, you illustrate the payoff; the BENEFITS to them of adopting your proposal. These are NOT bells and whistles, doo dads and super duper gadgets. These are the what’s and how’s their lives will be better, easier, safer, richer, more carefree, etc. once they begin using your product or service. The better you know your audience and understand their problem and how you solve it, the more easily and compellingly you can communicate this to them.

Now you have to use your knowledge of them to bullet proof your idea. This requires you taking the time thinking as though you are they and asking, “What will their objections be? What will they still be doubtful about? What may I need to disabuse them of?” Bringing these things out into the light and knocking them down one by one will seal the deal. You will have addressed their doubts before they’ve had a chance to voice them.

Next you paraphrase what you’ve said thus far. Briefly recap their problem, your proposed solution, the payoffs to them of adopting it and the proof they need to dispel any misconceptions or doubts that your solution will work. One piece left; the prompt.

This is CRITICAL and yet many many persuasive presentations are missing this important element. Tell them what they’re NEXT STEP is! Don’t be afraid of being “pushy”. You’ve just illustrated very clearly and compellingly to them WHAT their problem is and HOW you can solve it, as well as telling them the GREAT things they’ll enjoy by adopting your solution. You’ve even illustrated possible objections and debunked them. At this point they’re DYING for you to tell them where they sign, what line they get in, who the check’s to be made out to, etc. You’re their problem solver! The answer to their prayers! Don’t stop after you’ve told them how you can solve their problem; tell them the steps they can take to get started.

Before your next presentation, sit down and ask yourself, “What is my audience’s problem? How does my product or service solve it? What is the result of that solution? Then follow the structure I’ve described above

(also known as the bespeak presentation method) and you’ll be giving persuasive presentations that assure that you’ll be heard and get results. And who wants to give any other kind?
