Atricle Dump - Presentation Pitfalls Series: Top 10 Content Mangement Mistakes
Trained employees are more productive employees; there??™s no doubt about that. Whether you??™re your only employee or whether you??™ve got a growing staff, put OJT (on the job training) at the top of your To-Do list.Every job, no matter what it is, is done better and faster when those responsible for doing it are properly trained. In theory this sounds good. But in reality, small growing companies rarely have money in their operating budgets to cover training costs.Job-related training whether for yourself or for your employees is expensive in the short run. But in the long run, not offering training often costs more. The good news is that job-related training no longer means trave
As a retired entrepreneur I was recently reflecting how I had always felt that our company needed to out innovate our competitors. In fact I spent countless hours considering how to be more efficient and use our machinery to make more money in less time and give us the edge over the competition.You know, I cannot even tell you how many things I have designed in my life. My entire company and all our proprietary equipment was designed by me, no degree, no engineering background, just common sense and trial and error and you know what? We built the best equipment the industry had ever known.The other day I was talking with someone who said he consulted with a professional engineer who said his project
10) Not setting the stage.
An introduction should be more than just "Hello. Today we'll be discussing _____." If you just jump into the content without setting up the presentation, it can get you off to a jumpy, disjointed start. An introduction should give the audience a sense of who you are, what you're there to do, and what's in it for them to listen.
9) Using ineffective notes.
It's almost always wise to have some notes handy to make sure you don't forget anything important, but if your notes are hard to follow or are distracting for the audience, they defeat the purpose. Trying to read from a crowded page of word-for-word narrative is a killer because you look down and have trouble looking up for fear that you'll never find your place again. Disorganized papers or cards can be c
Millions of individuals attend and thousands of companies participate, but relatively few who are involved in trade shows fully understand the exhibit medium. Many exhibitors at the average trade or industrial show make gross errors in their exhibits because they do not know what the medium is or how to use it wisely.There are many reasons why a company enters a trade show, and it is important that a company spell out its objectives before making this decision. These objectives can include: to make sales; to maintain an image and continuing contact with customers; to initiate contact with new customers; to introduce a new product or service; to demonstrate equipment; to offer an opportunity for customers to

When it comes to public relations, what can work best for you as a business, non-profit, government agency or subsidiary manager, is doing something meaningful about the behaviors of those key outside audiences of yours that MOST affect the department, group, division or subsidiary you manage.You confirm that success by helping persuade those key folks to your way of thinking, then moving them to take actions that allow your unit to succeed.What you’ve actually done is apply public relation’s underlying premise. Namely, people act on their own perception of the facts before them, which leads to predictable behaviors about which something can be done. When we create, change or rei

Are you wondering what all the hype is? There is over 6.6 billion people surfing the net! How would you like to have that many potential customers? Well you can do it for free! You can build a website for free. It is likely that your computer came with software that you create a website with. For example: MS Word.

8) Using jargon or acronyms that leave the audience bewildered.
When a listener hears a word or phrase he/she is not familiar with it causes what I call a "cerebral derailment". The listener's mind is chugging along happily with you until he/she hears an unfamiliar term and suddenly the mind jumps the tracks to wonder, "What does that mean?" Always define acronyms (even if you're sure they know what the letters stand for) and, when in doubt, define any terms that could possibly be unfamiliar.
7) Planning backwards.
Many people begin to prepare a presentation by thinking, "What do I have that's co
