WRIT2000 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Sales Presentation, Clip Art
Document Summary
Writ2000 uq week 9 presentations: ways to start presentations. Startling statistic: quote from famous person, personal anecdote. 20% of what they saw, but 65% of what they heard and saw. Why present: presentations should seek to achieve something, gives the rare opportunity to eyeball the people you are presenting to, tap into personal relationship for greater impact. Sales pitch: we learn through our senses presentations have more of them than a report, a presentation is about an outcome not a topic. Purpose: project update, proposal, report, announcement, background. Structure depends on audience and context of issue. In summary: audience is the star of the show, not the presenter, the audience"s time is limited: don"t waste it, there is beauty and clarity in restraint. Structure: what: this is what needs to happen, why: this is why it needs to happen, how: this is how we"re going to make it happen.
