A Good Sales Presentation is like a Great Play

Good salesmen have many tricks up their sleeves. One of the main things they need to have is confidence. They need to believe that they could sell ice to an Eskimo if they are given a chance. That level of confidence is sometimes what separates a good salesman from a struggling one.

While being able to display that confidence is part of a person’s personality, there are steps that every salesman can take to help them appear more confident to the person they are pitching their product to.

The key to a good sales pitch is preparation. While it is true that many people believe that they can think on their feet the truth is that the more a person knows about their product the better they are able to present that product. Taking the time to understand what you are selling and how it can be used is a matter of time and effort. A person can use that time and effort to create presentations that they can use to help demonstrate their product. The research that goes into preparing their presentation will help them learn about the product they are selling.

Technology has made it easier to come up with amazing presentations. The use of PowerPoint is something that is taught at the elementary school level and it is something that is widely used. But many people are unaware of the power of PowerPoint software. They do not take the time to learn that there is more that can be made than a basic slide with information on it. PowerPoint offers the ability to add animation and sound to the presentation making it more dynamic and more memorable. Along with computers a person has other ways to present their products. There are laser pointers that can work across a crowded room. Microphones that are barely visible can amplify a person’s voice so that they are easily heard.

Everything a person does during a presentation should be done with the idea of keeping people’s attention. A sales pitch is very important, and if a potential buyer is not listening then the sales pitch is failing. For that reason a good salesperson will rehearse their sales pitch. Taking the time to know what you are going to say beforehand will prevent the wrong things from being said.

It is important for people who sell things to realize that they are really actors putting on a show. When it is a good show, they will get paid. Bad shows will see them booed off the stage without a dime in their pocket. The sales presentation is an art form and it is something that people should take pride in.

A Super Funny Joke - The Boy And The Priest

A housewife takes a lover during the day, while her husband is at work. Unknown to her, her 9 year old son was hiding in the closet. Her husband came home unexpectedly, so she hid her lover in the closet. The boy now has company. Boy: Dark in here.. Man: Yes it is. Boy: I have a baseball. Man: That’s nice. Boy: Want to buy it? Man: No, thanks. Boy: My dad’s outside. Man: OK, how much? Boy: $250. In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the mom’s lover are in the closet together. Boy: Dark in here. Man: Yes, it is. Boy: I have a baseball glove. Man: How much? Boy: $750. Man: Fine. A few days later, the father says to the boy, “Grab your glove.

I sold them.” The father asks, “How much did you sell them for?” The son says, “$1,000.” The father says, “That’s terrible to overcharge your friends like that, that is way more than those two things cost.
