- Great sports people are always striving to get the basics right and repeatable under pressure. Now let me explain the basics of presenting and when you understand and apply you will be increasingly successful in high pressure business situations.
- Explain the basics by telling the story of Paul O’Connell and the Munster team or of Graham McDowell (G- Mac) Sports people always talk about getting the basics right. The same applies to presenting, the basics are – open: get attention, close: tell the audience how they are better. Between Open and Close use one of 5-6 tried and trusted formats. In this session I will give you the format for ‘Memorable Marketing Talk’ (Elevator Pitch- USP- High Concept Pitch) talk. Regularly I meet people so say I will just wing it in the belief that It will be alright on the night nothing could be further from the truth. E.g. Billy Connelly or Dara O’Brien know exactly what they are doing and where they are going their skill /art is in making it look like it is ad-libbed
- Talk about how Chad Hurley founder of U Tube, Jack Dorsey founder of Twitter and Niklas Zennstrom of Skype can tell their business stores clearly and simply without confusing their listeners with the technology driving their business ideas
- Trinity the night before USA, 3 month preparation
- All great speakers use classic templates to construct and deliver their talks. If you have a template that works why try and re invent the wheel? The most fearful and time consuming way to start a talk is with a blank piece of paper. You will get under way and finished much quicker when you use a template as we will see demonstrated here today
- In the body of your talk you cannot make no more than three key points. Ideally one key point would be best but this requires a great deal of bravery. So that people will understand your business ideas you can use any of the following in the body of talk: analogies, demonstrations, examples, facts, statistics, testimonials.( but not all of them) Reminder “data overload is the greatest failing when trying to communicate with your audience” Andrew C. Keogh
