Marketing: The End is the Beginning

The End is the Beginning

Written by Stephen D. Boyd

People remember best what you say last. In a presentation, what people take with them to put into action or to connect with what they already know depends to a large degree on how you end repparttar

presentations. So in one sense, repparttar 120224

end of your presentation is repparttar 120225

beginning for repparttar 120226

audience. Speakers often reach their momentum in repparttar 120227

middle of

presentation and lose contact with repparttar 120229

audience by repparttar 120230

end. One of repparttar 120231

ways a speaker can ensure beginnings for an audience is by having a strong ending; this article will provide a few simple tips to achieve this concluding spark. First, focus on repparttar 120232

general purpose of your presentation. Are you moving repparttar 120233

audience to action? Are you helping your audience to understand? Are you attempting to change repparttar 120234

viewpoint of your audience on a particular issue? Or are you simply entertaining? The purpose will determine how you end repparttar 120235

presentation. Some speakers lose sight of this, their endings do not fit their purposes, and repparttar 120236

audiences leave without knowing where to begin. If your purpose is to move repparttar 120237

audience to action, then your conclusion should in some way answer repparttar 120238

question, “What do I want my audience to do as a result of my presentation?” What action do you want people to take? The conclusion should state repparttar 120239

specific action to be taken. A presentation on donating blood individually as a part of repparttar 120240

company goal for community service would need to end with repparttar 120241

time and location for giving blood. An even more effective ending would be to obtain some kind of commitment. Ask for a show of hands: “Raise your hand if you are going to give blood when repparttar 120242

Bloodmobile is here next Monday.” If your purpose is simply to entertain, then repparttar 120243

conclusion should be light and send repparttar 120244

audience away with repparttar 120245

good feelings that laughter and humor provide. A second method for enhancing your conclusion is to summarize…PLUS! Certainly you want repparttar 120246

audience to take with them repparttar 120247

major theme or main points of repparttar 120248

message, but in addition you should give them a phrase or quotation to connect with repparttar 120249

summary. This is repparttar 120250

exit line. An exit line is a short saying, profound idea, or clever line that compels repparttar 120251

audience to think about repparttar 120252

main theme of repparttar 120253

speech. The exit line will increase repparttar 120254

likelihood of repparttar 120255

audience’s remembering what you want them to do as they begin after repparttar 120256

presentation. When I stress repparttar 120257

value of preparation, I often end with repparttar 120258

remark by former Senator Bill Bradley, “When you are not practicing, remember, someone somewhere is practicing…and when you meet him, he will win.” In talking about repparttar 120259

power of developing language skills, I like repparttar 120260

quotation by Mark Twain: “The difference between repparttar 120261

right word and repparttar 120262

almost right word is repparttar 120263

difference between lightning and repparttar 120264

lightning bug.” To punctuate repparttar 120265

summary with a thought-provoking idea usually helps audience members to know clearly where to begin as they leave your presentation.
