1. Introduction of yourself and the topic

I work in the marketing department.

Introduction your topic

 Detailed
 Today, I'm going to be talking about our new HR policies and how they affect
you. I'll begin by outlining the policies, and then I'll go on to highlight what they
mean for you and your working habits. Finally, I'll briefly discuss why we feel
these new policies are necessary and beneficial for us all.

Start the presentation

 First of all, I'll... I'll continue by... To finish, I'll…..

2. Attract the audience's attention


 Introducing a relevant problem to the audience and offering a solution.
 Have you ever felt unfairly treated at work, or felt that the work you do isn't
appreciated? We've been working to design new HR policies that will make sure
all staff get fair recognition for their contribution to the company.
 Quoting an interesting fact or relevant statistic.
 Did you know that the average office worker spends eight hours a day at work,
but only does four hours of productive, useful work? I'm here to tell you about
'quality control' and how you can use this idea to make better use of your time.
 Using a short story related to the topic to add an emotional dimension.
 I once met a young salesman... He didn't close the deal. Today, I'm going to talk
about confidence as a sales tool and how you can avoid the traps that this young
man fell into.

3. Use Signposting Language


 Signposting language is employed to outline the presentation's structure and help the
audience follow along effectively.
 Now that you've heard a bit about what not to do, let's focus on positive advice
to help you be more effective salespeople and close more of your leads.

5. Handling Challenging Questions


When faced with difficult questions, the strategy that can be done is to do it :
 Delay answering
 I've allocated time for questions at the end of this session, so we'll address your
idea later.
 I'm not in a position to answer that right now, but I'll get back to you later this
week.
 Deflect the question
 That's an interesting question. Before | answer, I'd like to know: what's your take
on this?
 You've raised an important point there. What does everyone else think about this?
 Dismiss the question
 Thanks for your input, but I don't see how that's connected to what I'm saying.
 I don't mean to be blunt, but I don't think that's relevant to today's discussion.
