Course Description
This Master Class is designed for field salespeople, key account managers, sales managers and directors who have to make presentations about products, services, concepts and other business-related subject areas to audiences large and small. It is also highly relevant to any other individual who has to present and speak in front of groups of people about any subject area.
Skilled presenters are always very highly regarded within any organisation, and for any career-minded person, presentation skills are a crucial fundamental ability. Yet few seek to master the art – or even to improve on their present standard.
On the ‘Presentation Skills’ Master Class, delegates will learn how to deliver their message effectively and confidently and how to get and keep the audience’s attention during the course of the presentation. Delegates will learn the key skills needed to inspire, persuade, lead and motivate every audience that they speak and present to.
Using proven learning techniques and interactive role-play, delegates will have ample opportunity to practise these techniques and will spend the day honing and polishing their new-found presentation skills to a high level of accomplishment. The theme throughout the day is theory, practical, theory, practical.
