Begin and Keep Going….

Think through the presentation…
- Remember the objective… pick a spot on which to land-and four at with the goal of eventually landing on it. Too many speakers ramble all the way.
- Organize and prepare your material carefully… a good public speaking venture is actually like selling… so follow the same pattern:
- Attract attention
- Keep interest high
- Begin with convincing statements
- Solve objections
- Then sell, sell, sell!!
3. You follow a logical sequence of events… methodical… sequential…. incremental. Make a good and effective introduction with a strong climax, and you have the basis of your presentation. Be sure that your climax and introduction tie in together. Think it over in advance, and later you’ll be able to talk it through. Memorization is not the key. An outline is better than a script
4. Put a bang in the opening gun!
Make the audience stood up and notice with your arousing beginning!
People always expect you to get the following questions answered: Who? What? When? Where? How?… What? So what? Now what?….. What’s it about?
Remember your objective…. but when you finish, please leave them laughing or thinking or crying….. but please leave them something..
