Sales Pitch #1 –About Effective PersuasionWhen I first started out, I was like many of you. That’s right, we are all equally good looking <big smile>Whilst I had some knowledge about how to present and had some confidence, I was not very sure if I could do a good enough job.And is that the big problem for us when we are asked to present?But let me make a case that presentation isn’t just about standing on the stage or in front of a committee. What we are really asked to do is to PERSUADE the other people.Don’t you think that’s true? When we present, we are really asked to persuade someone!Most of us, even the skilled and the confident amongst us, still feel that nervous surge of electricity when we step up.Firstly, we often don’t know enough about our audience and can’t always customise our presentation.Secondly, we often feel that we are not trained enough or not naturally gifted enough to pull off a good presentation.Finally, even if we did know, there is no guarantee that our point of view would be accepted by the members of the committee or the audience.Now, if there was a way that we could craft our presentation such that despite the different personalities in the room, they all hear something that is valuable to them and they are captivated.And if there was a formula that we could follow, which consistently delivers an powerful message everything. Then the lack my skills wouldn’t matter! And even someone like me could do a good job!And what’s more, how exciting it would be if there was such a system that could guarantee that my point of view could always be heard by the other party.That’s why today is an exciting day for all of us. Today is the day you will learn the Effective Persuasion 4 Steps Formula to successful presentations. Whether you are talking to 1 or 1,000, the 4 step formula will be able to help you be an effective persuader, despite of any perceived handicaps you may have!Firstly, the system teaches us that there is a common denominator when we are talking to 1 or 1,000 people. I’ll tell you more during the day.Secondly, the system is based on a proved formula that has been tested in all sales environment, whether you are serving a cause to “Go Green” or selling a computer solution, this step-by-step formula allows even novice presenters to become competent very quickly.Lastly, the system instructs you on the science of being persuasive and leveraging on psychological strategies that make your case simply irresistible. So, are you ready to find out more? Can I have a show of hands, who wants to jump right in now?
The reality is that we are always trying to get people over to our point of view.How do you feel when you are unable to convince someone?It doesn’t feel very good does it? You may feel a sense of UN-accomplishment.
Brains love emotionsThey speak in emotional terms and are heavily influenced by emotional overtonesThe way stories are conveyed is through : Stories.Why? Because the use of language in stories creates the emotional reality that is absorbed by our brains.

That’s why you will never stop breathing in your sleep.Understand that we are getting very visceral here. We are skipping a lot of false niceties and getting into the meat of the issue.In this section, we will deal with some performance strategies that will make your presentation very effective.

If the brain is exposed to a lot of information, your brain will experience Cognitive Load Imbalance and essentially ignore the external stimuli.The best form of communication is :1.

Pictures + Words will increase retain by 65% Words only will get 10% retention after 72 hours.

The brain’s ability to recall is based on the person’s ability to concentrate and focus.It doesn’t matter about the “size” of storage but the ability to pull the information out of the brain.So how do you make the information easily accessible?In terms of memory, estimates are from 10-12 Terrabyte (1 terrabyte = 1000 gigabytes) to potentially unlimited.Which square isn’t like the others?Able to pick out the odd square because of CONTRAST. How do you create contrast in your information?By the way, there 28 x 9 = 252 squares but that didn’t stop you!
The 6 principles of persuasion. Now that you are aware that the subconscious mind plays a huge part in a successful presentation, what can you do to influence it?
So what does it take to be an accomplished persuader?Marcus Tullius Cicero January 3, 106 BC – December 7, 43 BC; sometimes anglicized as Tully[1]) was a Romanphilosopher, statesman, lawyer, orator, political theorist, Roman consul and constitutionalist. He came from a wealthy municipal family of the equestrian order, and is widely considered one of Rome's greatest orators and prose stylists.[2][3]He introduced the Romans to the chief schools of Greek philosophy and created a Latin philosophical vocabulary (with neologisms such as humanitas, qualitas, quantitas, and essentia)[4] distinguishing himself as a linguist, translator, and philosopher.Petrarch's rediscovery of Cicero's letters is often credited for initiating the 14th-century Renaissance.[5] According to Polish historian TadeuszZieliński, "Renaissance was above all things a revival of Cicero, and only after him and through him of the rest of Classical antiquity." [6] The peak of Cicero's authority and prestige came during the eighteenth-century Enlightenment,[7] and his impact on leading Enlightenment thinkers such as John Locke, David Hume, and Montesquieu was substantial.[8] His works rank among the most influential in European culture, and today still constitute one of the most important bodies of primary material for the writing and revision of Roman history, especially the last days of the Roman Republic.[9]Though he was an accomplished orator and successful lawyer, Cicero believed his political career was his most important achievement.

But Weissmuller did say it, jokingly, in an interview published in the June 1932 issue of Photoplay magazine. He told the Photoplay reporter: “I didn’t have to act in Tarzan, the Ape Man — just said, ‘Me Tarzan, you Jane.’” After that, his quip became an oft-used comic catchphrase that many people mistakenly assume came from one of Weissmuller’s Tarzan movies. In that scene, Tarzan learns the words me, you, Jane and Tarzan, though he doesn’t put them together in the famous formulation.After Tarzan saves Jane (actress Maureen O’Sullivan) from a leopard, she tries to communicate with him. It almost plays like an Abbott and Costello comedy bit. JANE: “Thank you for protecting me.” TARZAN: “Me?” JANE: “I said, thank you for protecting me.” TARZAN: (Pointing at her.) “Me?” JANE: “No. I’m only ‘Me’ for me.” TARZAN: (Pointing at Jane again.) “Me.” JANE: “No. To you, I’m ‘You.’” TARZAN: (Pointing at himself.) “You.” JANE: “No. I’m Jane Parker. Understand? Jane. Jane.” TARZAN: (Pointing at her.) “Jane. Jane. Jane.” JANE: “Yes, Jane! (She points at him.) And, you? (She points at herself again.) Jane.” TARZAN: (Pointing at her) “Jane.” JANE: “And you? (Pointing at him.) You?” TARZAN: (Jabbing himself in the chest.) “Tarzan! Tarzan!” JANE: “Tarzan!” TARZAN: (Pointing at her and them himself.) “Jane. Tarzan.”At this point, Weissmuller begins repeatedly poking her chest, then his own, saying “Jane. Tarzan. Jane. Tarzan.” — faster and faster — until O’Sullivan finally begs him to stop.
