We spend three to six months together, online and in-person, talking and discussing the issue--how do you be seen as the person that you want to be seen as? How do you present yourself in a manner that you are taken seriously if you happen to be in a position where you are not taken seriously? It is some of the most deeply satisfying work I have ever done and I've always been blessed to use my talents to make the world a better place.” Elizabeth Bachman is the go-to person for advanced level training in Speaking, Presentation Skills, Sales, and Leadership.

Most of the time they are far from brilliant but I want is often prepared to tell them that.But unless of course that happens businesses go on enduring presentations from their leaders which frankly could be a lot better.So Trevor is looking for a leadership coach to come on the podcast and explain how they tell the business leader that their presentations could be a lot better, and then how they go about helping them improve. If that is you or you know someone it could be please contact Trevor via: podcast@trevorleemedia.co.uk Trevor also mentions the ‘five tips to transform your business presentations ‘which he is running as a 25 minute webinar on Tuesday, February 6th at both 9.30am GMT and 4.30pm GMT.To book places follow this link to Trevor's website: https://www.trevorjlee.com/presentation-and-sales-tips-webinars/The ‘7 Steps to Successful Presentations' online course is now live and listeners are being offered an opportunity to take part in the course at a 50% discount.

In this episode of the Better Presentations More Sales podcast I'm following up on the free 25 minute webinars I did last week called Win More Sales Pitches, with the follow-up prompted when someone in the Q&A afterwards talked about the best ways of closing that sales pitch.And it got me thinking about whether closing is actually the right word because if we win a sales pitch then isn't that the opening of a new client, hopefully a long-term relationship with that client.Of course in the sales world opening is the bit you do at the beginning of your pitch or presentation.And I don't think if we do use the word closing that it is the responsibility of the person delivering the pitch to close that sales pitch, I think that is the job of the customer, our job as the people doing the pitch is to make it as easy as possible for them to say yes to our idea or proposal and therefore it is them that is closing that sales pitch not us.During the episode I share five tips which I will summarise here:Focus your pitch on the people you are pitching to, the benefits they will get and do your homework on themEnsure it is not complex and that it is put together using their terms rather than yoursMake your offer crystal clear and talk about their investment rather than your rate or feeBe ready to negotiate by thinking through what could happen in a negotiation and if you were them what would you wantBe ready for the Q&A and again try and pre-think the questions you could be asked and then have your calendar ready to book in a follow-up call, and make that a phone call not an emailMy January and February webinars are to help people with their presentation and sales skills.

In this episode of the Better Presentations More Sales podcast communication, transformation, leadership and speaking expert Jacqueline Farrington shares tips and ideas to help listeners create presentation presence and engaging starts.During the conversation we also talk about rehearsal and how important that is.When it comes to helping listeners create presentation presence and engaging starts Jacqueline describes it as building the offstage moment and suggests listeners think about three adjectives for how they want to show up.For delivering an engaging start Jacqueline suggests different ways of doing that including posing a challenge which could be a question that might not need to be answered, introducing a metaphor because people love metaphors and laying down the gauntlet by delivering a bold attention grabbing statement.Jacqueline also reminds us how the beginning and the end of our presentation are absolutely crucial and her top tips for rehearsing include standing up and breaking your presentation down into chapters.This episode will undoubtedly help listeners create presentation presence and engaging starts.To find more out about Jacqueline go to https://farringtonpartners.com and for Jacqueline's book: https://farringtonpartners.com/book/Finally Jacqueline's top tip for listeners is to record the rehearsal of your presentation and then identify from the recording three key strengths that you have and three areas you would like to work on.Trevor's January and February webinars are 25 minutes long and packed full of presenting and sales tips and advice. To book places follow this link to Trevor's website: https://www.trevorjlee.com/presentation-and-sales-tips-webinars/The ‘7 Steps to Successful Presentations' online course is now live and listeners are being offered an opportunity to take part in the course at a 50% discount.

In this episode of the Better Presentations More Sales podcast I'm sharing thoughts and ideas to help you convert interest into sales, to show you how nudging not pushing to win the order is the way to goEspecially when you've delivered a pitch or demoThroughout you drop positive but subtle messages that you are expecting the audience to say yesBuyers like to buy but sometimes they need a nudge. A nudge not a push.And that's the role you need to play. The nudger. Top sales people are very good at this.They recognise that helping someone to buy is a key skill. Throughout the pitch or demo they check-in.‘What are you thinking?'‘What do you think your colleagues will say to this?'‘Are you seeing any barriers or roadblocks?'They make it interactive throughout the demo or pitch - often in a subtle wayThey ask great questions - which are designed to gain ‘mini-commitments' They then confirm the mini-commitment:‘So what you are saying…….is that right?'Sales is often a mindset thing.You need to get the balance right between being assured and over confidentSo get ready to be a nudgerWe all need a nudge sometimes If you have a key pitch or presentation or demo coming up and you need some help them below are the links to follow to make that happen:Here are the links to the Coaching Zoom calls I mention:  Key Presentation Coaching Page Key Sales Pitch Coaching Business Leader Presentation Coaching page Before you book any training or coaching with me it is important for you to be sure that I'm the right person for you or your team so let's have a 15-20 minute informal no obligation no fee chat on Zoom.

Make it easy for your buyer to say yesIn this episode of the Better Presentations More Sales podcast I'm sharing thoughts and ideas to make it easy for your buyer to say yes.You put lots of time and effort into putting together your presentation, your sales pitch or your demo but does it make it easy for your buyer to say yes?If you're not sure ask yourself these three questions:Is your presentation/pitch/demo too complicated?Is it too detailed?Is it too long?And follow that up by asking yourself if you were the buyer would you buy?One of the challenges we always have when we are presenting or pitching or demoing is that we have a tendency to focus on ourselves and our product or service rather than the audience and the benefits they are going to gain.We leave them with too many decisions to make on their journey to saying yes - we need to make it easy for your buyer to say yes.So put yourself in their shoes and deliver your presentation, pitch or demo for them not youIf you have a key pitch or presentation or demo coming up and you need some help  follow these links:Key Presentation Coaching Page Key Sales Pitch Coaching Business Leader Presentation Coaching page For one to one business leader presentation coaching please visit my Presentation Coaching pageBefore you book any training or coaching with me it is important for you to be sure that I'm the right person for you or your team so let's have a 15-20 minute informal no obligation no fee chat on Zoom.

To Rehearse or Not to Rehearse? It can feel odd rehearsing a speech or a presentation. Especially if you are rehearsing on your own. To some, rehearsing makes them feel safe and comfortable. To others, it can make them feel just plain awkward. But it would be foolish not to rehearse when the outcome of your pitch or presentation is really important. So how should we rehearse? How long should we rehearse for? And is there a correct way to rehearse? Join Robin Kermode and Sian Hansen as they discuss some interesting ways to make sure that when you do rehearse, you rehearse in the right way knowing that you'll do yourself proud on the big day!  

Have a team that needs to build communication skills as a group? Well, just as an FYI, business presentation training is quite different from university-level public speaking classes or what you might pick up at a tasting club. For instance, a good presentation that you deliver for your friends or coworkers may actually backfire if you deliver the presentation to senior executives.In this post, I'll cover a few best practices for organizing fantastic business presentation skill training classes. Effective presentations don't happen by accident. And, when you get a bunch of “Type A” personalities who all have experience leading presentations trying to work together to organize a single speech… Well… Let's just say that the results can be a little frustrating.Different personalities have different strengths. So, when you organize corporate presentation training sessions, you want to make sure to help each participant maximize his or her strengths. But you also have to help your presenters create a clear message that is focused on the same outcome.Here is a checklist of a few of the best ways to deliver presentation skills training for a business team.Show Notes: Business Presentation Training for Your Group
