* Back your main points with examples, statistics, or facts. * Design simple, yet convincing visuals that your audience can understand and interpret quickly. * End with a strong conclusion that invites your audience to take immediate action or seek follow-up. * Handle questions openly and honestly, admitting when you don't have an answer, but, at same time, promising to get back to your audience, or individual, when you do. Follow these tips, and I guarantee that you'll see progress in your presentations skills that will lead to successful outcomes. Remember: When you maximize your potential, everyone wins. hen you don't, we all lose. Note: Be sure to order my companion Special Reports entitled Creating Winning Presentations and Developing Successful Meetings.
