Business Development and Sales Leaders
Interest Them First, Inform Them Later
Robust!
Best of Breed!
Lessons Learned!
Proven processes!
And countless other meaningless buzz words will NOT win you the business
Neither will … slide after slide of features and benefits
Nor … boiler-plate bullets, soulless processes and sterile approaches
Not even … perfect color palettes, graphics and templates
What works in print does not work in person
With ever-faster technology your audiences have been trained to process many images and sounds faster than ever
Successful speeches and presentations are not written documents delivered by mouth
Knock out speeches and presentations that notch up your sales are those that attract and engage your audience’s visual and auditory processing capabilities. These change over time as the environment changes. What worked a decade or two ago doesn’t work today
Know Your Real Competition
Your competition is not what you think it is!
Hundreds of stimuli are competing for your audience’s attention—especially myriad incoming messages (text, video, audible) that tempt people because they are fast, exciting, surprising.
Your speech or presentation is competing with every other message your audience is receiving.
Your self-interest is competing with the interests of the audience. They only care about you when you have told them—passionately, authentically and startlingly–that you care about them.
Presentation rules—outdated and based on mistaken premises—are competing with your ability to connect with your audiences and move them to action.
If you catalog the rules you’ve been taught or absorbed from observing others, you’ll find that they are all about you and your information. All rules you follow must be based on what is needed and preferred by the audiences.
That’s what Speakonomics!™ does—teaches you how to put the audience first, and then become your polished, natural self.
How is your presentation so compelling that your audiences have to pay attention and take action?
