Essential PPT Presentation Skills for MLM Presentations
How to become a master speaker? In this day and age, PPT is essential, and Steve Jobs' classic speech was using big screen slides. The following is the PPT presentation skills that I brought for you as an essential part of the marketing presentation, welcome to read.
(1) 10-20-30 principle
This is GuyKawasaki (the Bay Area's famous venture capitalist, but also a passionate, wise and humorous speaker) put forward a slide production and presentation of the principle that a Powerpoint can not be more than 10 slides, the total length of the presentation should not exceed 20 minutes, and the font size of the slides should be larger than 30. He said that whether or not your idea can turn the world upside down, you have to get the essence of it across to the audience in a limited amount of time with fewer slides and more concise language.
(2) Presentations that are fun
Presentations have to be fun. I don't mean jumping around like a monkey, but compared to an article or magazine, people expect to feel your passion in a speech, not a boring recitation.
(3) Slow down
Nervous or inexperienced speakers are more likely to talk like a machine gun. Try slowing down your speech and emphasizing by adding a few pauses.
(4) Make eye contact
Make eye contact with all your audience. Salespeople know that you can't focus all your attention on the decision making . . person, because secretaries and assistants also influence the boss to make decisions to some extent (note: always focusing attention on one person makes the other person uncomfortable).
(5) Summarize in 15 words
Can you summarize your thoughts in 15 words? If you can't, then summarize it again. Presentations aren't as powerful as they ideally should be for conveying information, so repeating the 15-word summary over and over again throughout the presentation can have the effect of emphasizing and deepening your memory.
(6) 20-20 principle
Another slide production principle. This principle means that you have to have 20 slides in your presentation and only speak for 20 seconds per slide. Its purpose is to force you to be concise and avoid the audience getting impatient.
(7) Don't read slides
Many people think they can speak off the cuff, but in fact they often look back at the screen. Reading slides will only keep interrupting your thoughts, which indirectly tells the audience that you simply don't understand what you're trying to say, and thus lose confidence and interest in your presentation.
(8) Speaking like a story
If your speech is long, it's best to include some short stories, puns, and anecdotes to tie it all together, and to help illustrate the point. Good speakers know how to connect a short story to a point in a way that engages the audience.
(9) Raise the volume
The most important thing to avoid in a speech is that the audience can't hear what the speaker is saying. Even though there are microphones and loudspeakers nowadays, you still have to make sure that all the audience can hear you. Raising the volume doesn't mean you have to shout; the right thing to do is to straighten up and make a clearer sound from your lungs rather than from your throat.
(10) Don't plan your gestures in advance
Any gesture in a speech should be an extension of the message you are trying to convey, and it is there to help you convey the emotion of the message. Planning gestures in advance can look unnatural, and when done deliberately they can also be mismatched with other natural body language. If you don't know what gesture to make, then just place your hands casually on either side of your body (don't point your finger at the audience!) .
(11) "That's a good question"
By using phrases such as "That's a really good question", "I'm glad you asked that question", etc., you're making it clear that you don't know what you're talking about. I'm glad you asked that question" to buy yourself time to organize your answer. Listeners don't usually pick up on this kind of politeness, and you want to avoid verbalizing "uh", "ah", etc.
This is a great way to get your message across, but it's also a great way to get your message across.
(12) Breathe in, not out
When you feel like saying "uh", "ah", etc. (too many of which just makes for a bad speech), pause for a moment or take a deep breath. When you feel like saying something like "uh" or "ah" (too many words can make a bad speech), pause or take a breath. The pause may seem awkward, but the audience will rarely notice.
(13) Arrive early (as early as you can)
Don't wait until the audience is seated to set up the projector and slides. Arrive at your presentation early to familiarize yourself with the scene and check your computer and projection equipment to make sure you won't be in an unusual situation. And it helps eliminate nervousness.
(14) Practice makes perfect
Participate in organizations that improve and work on presentation and conversation skills. These exercises will make you appear more competent and confident when you go on stage.
(15) Avoid Apologizing
You need to apologize only when you do something wrong. Don't apologize for your lack of competence, nervousness, and lack of preparation, which will only make the listener feel that you are not confident. Plus, most of the time, the audience doesn't notice your nerves and small mistakes.
(16) Always Apologize When You're Wrong
While it's important to avoid apologizing when you've wrapped up a message with the wrong idea, or when there's something else that's obviously wrong, always apologize. Staying confident is certainly a good idea, but overconfidence can be a problem.
(17) Start from the audience's point of view
Write and think about your speech from the audience's point of view. What is more difficult for the audience to understand; what will make the audience feel cumbersome? Always remember what is meant by what is expressed here for the audience.
(18) Have fun
Put your passion into your speech and have fun
