Level Two: Presentations
In 2003, large and mid-size businesses in the U.S. spent approximately $157 billion on travel and entertainment – and a significant portion of that amount was spent by companies trying to sell their products via presentations and/or demos.

With these kinds of investments, it’s little wonder that we’re frequently asked, “What makes a great sales presentation?” Turning the question back on salespeople, we’ve received a variety of responses: Eye contact, tone and inflection, speed of speech, content, delivery, body language, the slides or powerpoint, knowing your product, and on and on. Isn’t a good presentation the one that gets you the deal? |
