Presenting When You Are Not Face-To-Face

Yep we know, you’ve got the big idea. But now you have to present it, remotely? Is that even legal?

With the growth of Skype and even more sophisticated video conference and remote collaboration technology, your pitch team must able to command and inspire the room – even when you’re not in the room. In this session, we will review the implications of this challenging but all too common situation.

You will learn how to take advantage of advance preparation and “setting the stage” well before the meeting even begins. The training will then move into what is required to orchestrate the presentation in a way that engages everyone right at outset – and then holds the client right through to the end. Also covered will be techniques to help with room theater, visual aids, big openings, big surprises, and big closings.
