Polishing Your Presentations Series

Good news, faithful readers! I’ve just finished creating a series of blog posts designed to help you polish your presentation skills. I know, I know…I can hear some of you saying it now, “No way am I getting up and giving a speech! That’s why I work online!”

Here’s a reality check—the entrepreneur who learns to present his business powerfully in front of a live audience has a definite leg up on those who stick with the “arms-length commerce” of the Internet. Here are two of the many reasons why Internet business owners should learn to market themselves through speaking engagements:

  1. A face-to-face presentation can drive interest in your products from prospects who need to interact with a real person, and
  2. Speaking before an entire group of new prospects multiplies your impact in a short period of time.

Besides that, anyone in business for themselves can sharpen their marketing by having to articulate who she is, what she’s selling, and why it’s desirable. Shouldn’t that, after all, be the point of ALL our marketing efforts?

To help you polish those essential presentation skills, I’ll be covering these three topics in upcoming posts to this blog:

  1. Key Elements of a Successful Presentation
  2. Key Elements of a Successful Speech (Yes, there is a difference!)
  3. How to Promote Yourself as a Speaker

A well-planned presentation can be just the extra “oomph” your marketing program needs to get your online business through a slump. Be sure to join me this week as I give you tips, tricks and powerful thoughts for helping create more business through public speaking engagements.
