There’s a bad thing going ’round.
It’s been with us for a long time. In plain sight, but mostly ignored. Or actually it has been excused with a phrase something like this:
“Everybody’s PowerPoint sucks. Mine is probably as good as everyone else’s.”
This downplays the immense value of having good-looking and effective visuals for your online pitch or presentation.
There are four main points I want to make here:
- Visuals have to carry a greater load in most online presentations. They have to move faster and deliver more information. They also have to build that elusive audience engagement.
- Excellent visuals immediately set you apart as top-notch. Your audience will know you are different, you care about details and your professionalism. You are someone they want to listen to, work with and give oodles of money to.
- Effective PowerPoint will deliver your message powerfully. They will “get it.” If you do this right, your viewers will quickly buy into your message and ideas. They will follow the logical path that leads them to your call to action.
- You will shine. You will have the confidence that comes from having superior tools to work with. You will stay on message. You and your team will be the rock stars of your pitch or presentation.
In my new live MasterClass, there is an entire module about building and delivering your very best visuals in our new online world.
My 4-Day Live MasterClass: Secrets to Delivering Brilliant Online Pitches and Presentations starts Monday, July 13th, 2020 and extends to the 16th (1 hour per day, 4 consecutive days at 1 pm ET) . Everything will be recorded if you can’t make it or want to be review later.
Registration (and a sizable discount) ends Saturday at midnight, July 11th, 2020 Eastern Time.
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 also 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.
- 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: Secrets to Delivering 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.
