What do Risk Management and Compliance have to do with Small or Home-based businesses. Take for example the typical web site owner who sells several products on their site. What Compliance issues do they face? Plenty! Is this web site owner compliant with the FTC? If the products are information based and they claim income estimates they fall under the rule of "Forward Looking Statements," a rule developed for the stock tradin
“Put it before them briefly so they will read it, clearly so they will appreciate it, picturesquely so they will remember it” said Joseph Pulitzer. This neatly sums up writing and giving a presentation. Let’s look at three ways you can use to help you give more powerful presentations.
1. Use the “Rule of Three”
Your presentation should be divided into these three distinctive parts:
• The opening
Here you establish rapport with your audience and introduce your topic. The opening should be more than 5% to 10% of your presentation length. The opening should also give three main points coming up in your presentation.
• The main body
Your topic information is provided here. Your three main points are discussed using no more than three minor points for each main point. This should take up no more than 70% of your presentation time. For a one hour presentation, for example, it would run about 40 minutes.
• The conclusion
A strong, unifying conclusion or summary is very important. This is where you briefly reiterate your main points and their respective values. Your conclusion is the part of your presentation that most attendees will remember best. Make it count. You’ll need about 10% of your presentation time to effect a good conclusion to your presentation.
2. Keep Your Presentation Short
It was none other than Winston Churchill himself who got up to speak, walked to the podium, and said, “Never, never, never, never give up.” He turned around, walked back to his seat and sat down. The thunderous applause that followed went on far longer than his speech had. It is remembered to this day.
Time your presentation to take a little LESS time than you’ve been allowed. Hardly anyone has ever complained about a presentation that was shorter than expected. On the other hand, if it runs longer than expected …

Wouldn’t it be great if every prospective customer you had came right out and said, 'Here’s what is most important to my company; and here’s what I need your product to do for me?' That would definitely increase your closing ratio.Usually, however, discovering a customer’s hot buttons is not quite that simple. You have to create an enticement before you can get through it and push that button.One way to do this is thro

Believe it or not most universities could use a few pointers from private enterprise. One place I feel they fall down is in customer service. Professors at universities could do more in the way of customer service by assisting their clientele, the students with better care.Rather than sitting the 100 kids in a classroom looking at a video monitor it would be best if the professors would give better customer service to the stu
3. Use Appropriate Anecdotes and Humor
There really a number of ways you can successfully incorporate appropriate quotes, anecdotes and humor into your public speaking. A little laughter never hurt anyone, and once you get a rapport with your audience, your presentation is bound to be a successful one. Try some of these possibilities:
• A comic strip panel (especially one which imparts its humor without using words)
• A Cartoon or humorous video clip (a short digital video clip of a few seconds can easily be inserted into a Power Point or other audio-visual presentation program slide)
• A couple of well-placed jokes (if you don’t have a good source for jokes, there are lots of sources online)
• Use humorous graphics or funny photos to help illustrate a theme or point
• Humorous anecdotes are always popular and can be found online and in printed publications alike. Be a good sport though, and be sure to include your source.
• Humorous quote sources and humor websites abound on the internet and finding two or three appropriate ones to use will be time well spent.
Use these four key tips to help ensure a more powerful, successful presentation. You’ll find that your presentations will flow more smoothly, be more concise and informative and involve your audience more. With practice then, you too will have more attendees approaching after your presentation to shake your hand and say, ”Thanks, I really enjoyed your presentation.” As for the others, the thunderous applause of the audience will wake them up.
