Answer: He looks at your shoes when he talks to you! I am allowed to say that, coming from a family of engineers, but it’s exactly to the point of this month’s column on the art of successful presentation design and delivery. At the heart of all successful presentations is a presenter who maintains proper eye-contact with members of the audience at all times.
Microsoft estimates that with over 300 million copies of PowerPoint installed world-wide, something like 3 million presentations are given every day. What they don’t say is that roughly 2.9 million of those are completely ineffective in achieving true knowledge transfer, what presentations are supposed to be about in the first place.
Knowledge transfer occurs, for the most part, when you are able to keep every member of the audience on the same page throughout the entire presentation. Unlike a written report, where the intended audience has the luxury
Most people think that lawyers are crooks and some people think that franchising companies or franchisors are out to make a killing on poor unsuspecting franchisees. State regulators think that Franchisors are not good and lawyers are wonderful. But why? Well because they are lawyers of course. Yet in reality lets look at the situation here.You see, Franchisors duties and responsibilites are to their team, their franchisees customers, extending brand. If the franchisor neglects such duties and responsibilities then they are short lived and they will go out of business. It is for this reason that the franchise system is inherently stable, viable and ethical. Whereas with lawyers and

Teaching to a group of prospects, large or small, can be a quick way to establish credibility and differentiate from competitors. Besides, teaching, next to writing, is a powerful method that promotes you as being a specialist.Teaching Makes You MemorableBeing memorable is one of the toughest aspects to marketing. For example, if you mailed fliers to your prospects last week, how many do you think still remember it? Can you recall the billboard or the ad on the city bus you saw coming to work today? Here today, gone tomorrow is often the results of our marketing tactics.Teaching, on the other hand, is different. Remember when you were in school? W

If you use direct mail to generate leads for your sales force, and if you’re hunting for an offer that will motivate prospects to respond to your mailings, how about asking your sales force for some advice?Your best sales people know what to say to prospects to close sales. Different folks need different closes. You can take these closing techniques and make them your direct mail offers.For example, certain buyers are short on cash. They prefer extended payment options, such as leasing or vendor-supplied financing. Your best sales people will often close these prospects with an offer of interest-free financing. So make free financing your offer in your direct mail piece. A c

Salary negotiations aren’t easy for most people. If you’re going after a new job, you don’t want to price yourself out of the market. If you’re attempting salary negotiations at a job you already have, then you may be afraid of bringing up the subject at all or be concerned you won’t be taken seriously, or worse, that you will make your current boss angry. Fortunately in either case, if you do your homework, approach the matter of salary negotiations in a professional way, you will likely be surprised to hear your employer say yes to your salary requests—and always present them as requests, not demands.The very first step in salary negotiation, though, is to know your own value.
