    Part of developing Great Presentation Skills is to understand the type of presentations which you intend to give. Is your presentation meant to educate, train, inform or persuade and make money?

    In this article, I would touch on Persuasive presentations. I think this is the most important kind of presentation because it allows us to close that deal, get that budget we want, sell products etc. In short Persuasive presentations most of the time allows us to MAKE MONEY! Let’s look at the 5 principles of Persuasive Presentations

    1) “For Every Action, There is an Equal and Opposite Reaction”
    A persuasive presentation always comes with a competitive option. Don’t think that if you are selling an idea or getting a budget approved, there is no “competition”. As long as you are looking to change how the audience thinks or feels, you have entered the competitive world. With every persuasive presentation there are products, ideas, which if accepted, will prevent your audience from accepting yours.

    2) A Persuasive Presentation should engage your audience, not dominate and overpower them.
    You should not at your first slide come across as “hear every word, see every word and believe every word I say”. If that is the case the audience will automatically shut down. Remember, each and every person in that audience has a unique make up. To change their collective heart and mind you need to constantly read them, adjust your presentation pacing, tone and content for maximum impact.

    3) Put Your Audience First
    This tie in with the second point above. Before even developing your persuasive presentation you must totally understand your audience. Ask yourself questions like “What can I do to change their hearts and minds”, “What can I do to help them understand, motivate them, get them excited, get their trust etc”. Put your audience first. Start thinking how you can connect with them, not what to put on your first slide.

    5) Persuasive Presentations ask for an Order.
    All presentation must have a goal. A persuasive presentation is no exception. If your goal is to sell something to your audience, then you must ASK for an order at the end of the presentation. After appealing to their decision making nerve, asking for an order would allow you to make that sale! Many a times, presenters tell me that they are shy or afraid to ask. No wonder they do not meet their goals.
