How to make sure they get it
This is going to seem like the most obvious piece of advice ever offered – and in a way it is. But it is so often overlooked or flat out ignored that it should be repeated every time before you sit down to create your next webcast, pitch, presentation webinar or whatever.
Make sure it’s all about them. In their minds they are always asking “What’s in it for me?”
If you are telling your audience about you and your services, your products or your ideas they are not listening.
If you tell them about how your stuff will address their world, their needs, then they will “get it”.
Learn as much as you can about who your speaking to and then make it about them.
What problem of theirs are you solving? How are you helping to improve their business, their relationships, their lives?
I will spend a bunch of time talking about this critical topic with the registrants of my upcoming 4-Day Live MasterClass: How to Deliver Brilliant Online Pitches and Presentations.
We will discuss how to know your audience way beyond simple demographics. How to understand what makes them tick and what keeps them up at night.
This MasterClass will be the proverbial dive deep into crafting, practicing and delivering presentations to your audience, clients or industry that set you way ahead of anyone else.
We will cover:
- Learning how to build your confidence while you build and rehearse your presentation so that you will appear the ultimate professional
- How to practice the right way – I call it “Smart Practice”. This module alone, if followed even a little, will be worth 10 times the course fee.
- What the major differences between in-person and online offerings are and how to adjust every part of your presentation to fit your medium.
- How to craft a simple 1 or 2 sentences that will avoid the biggest problem almost all people face when constructing their presentation.
- How to use the not-so-secret trick used by MLK Jr., Steve Jobs and some of the world’s most influential pros to burn your message into your audience’s brains.
- How to begin your presentation – the most critical 60-120 seconds of your comments. I will offer you at least 25 options and show you my five go-to openings. (By the way: the requirements to begin effectively online are substantially different from in-person.)
- How to structure of your presentation to address the new world of online. You must grab their eyeballs and make them not want to leave.
- How to handle all the dozens of details that make up a successful online event.
- What are the requirements for an inexpensive but professional studio in your office or home.
- What are the on-camera skills you must develop to appear both professional but approachable for your best delivery. And how do you develop them most effectively.
- What do you need to do to modify and update your PowerPoint presentation for maximum online engagement and retention.
- And, of course, understanding your audience on a deep, emotional level so that you can develop your comments specifically to address their needs.
- Plus, a whole bunch more.
I invite you to learn about all this for the brave new world of online.
It’s all in my upcoming 4-Day Live MasterClass: How to Deliver Brilliant Online Pitches and Presentations.
FIRST A WARNING: This course is very inexpensive, but if you want to actually get great value from it, be prepared to put in some work. Becoming better at anything requires work and focus. That’s why this will be so rewarding for you: your wimpy competition will be either to lazy or too scared to do it.
