Returning to the process of making calls, these

PRESENTATION
Steve Jobs
[ 27 ]
Despite any lack of prior experience, the
following three elements have proven effective in
my presentations:
➢ Positivity
Prior to uttering a word, I swiftly gauge
my vocabulary and expressions. Even if I
need to address any business
shortcomings, I ensure to articulate it in a
pleasant and optimistic manner. While it
might be tempting to criticize, it's crucial
to maintain positivity. Constructive
criticism, when presented with care,
minimizes client discomfort.
➢ Clarity
Audible speech, simple language, and
clear articulation are paramount.
Especially when your client isn't a native
English speaker (assuming English as the
communication language), maintaining
clarity is essential. Emphasizing key terms
ensures that clients retain vital
information. Failure in communication
[ 28 ]
clarity can cast your business as
unprofessional or unwilling to invest
adequately in its endeavors.
➢ Feasibility and Capability
I place feasibility and capability at the
same level, as you need to ascertain both
your capacity to present your offerings
and the viability of the project you'll be
undertaking.
1. Introductory Page
2. Introduction to the Team
3. Values and Services
4. Previous Projects (optional)
5. Discussion Between Your Business and
the Client, and Closing
[ 29 ]
Below are detailed descriptions of the bullet
points mentioned above:
1. Introductory Page,
This page serves as the initial
introduction, displaying your business
name, logo, and the purpose of the
presentation. Here's an example from a
presentation I created with a business I
collaborate with.
2. Introduction to the Team,
In this section, you'll explain your role,
the essence of your business, and a
concise overview of your background. It's
crucial to establish who you are to
enhance the credibility of your business.
While you can introduce yourself and
your team, remember that clients might
not be inclined to listen to excessive
information that isn't essential.
3. Values and Services,
Values express your dedication to the
project and serve as your guiding
[ 30 ]
principles. Meanwhile, services refer to
the solutions you commit to delivering to
address potential challenges your clients
might encounter.
4. Previous Projects (optional);
Highlighting past projects, whether
directly related to your current business
or pertaining to solutions you can
provide, can be beneficial. It demonstrates
your experience and capabilities.
5. Discussion between your business and
the client.
During this phase, aim to gather
comprehensive information from your
clients. Listen attentively to their needs
and expectations while effectively
conveying your business's capabilities to
fulfill those requirements.
6. Closing,
Towards the end, you can address pricing.
If you wish to allow them to set the price,
you might say:
[ 31 ]
"We're interested in understanding your
budget and the investment you're willing to
make in this project."
[ 32 ]
[ 33 ]
POST-PRESENTATION
[ 34 ]
Ensure that you have access to and
knowledge of the required elements.
3. Self-Assessment and Confidence:
Evaluate yourself and your skills. If you
feel confident that you can deliver as
promised, then you're on the right track.
Trust your capabilities and expertise.
4. Thoughtful Consideration
Take ample time to reflect on your
capacity to undertake the project. Avoid
rushing into a decision. Thoughtful
consideration is key.
These steps provide a systematic approach to
assess whether you're in a position to offer the
proposed solutions in your proposal. It's
essential to ensure that you're well-prepared and
confident before moving forward.
