What does a good sales pitch look like? Start with the ‘Why’ (Larsen, 2018) Move on to the ‘How’ Stress on the company credentials and customer testimonials Create a space for questions/clarifications Jargon-free, clear and simple language Contact information and materials for distribution
Why are effective presentations important? To enhance retention and engagement with the audience To spark the customers’ confidence in the product/service (in case of a sales pitch) To foster stronger relationships with the audience To make a winning first impression
Use of technology in presentations Enhance the presentation by use of multi-media aids, virtual reality, simulations, augmented reality, animations and high-quality graphics Technology is useful not just for enhancing the aesthetics of the presentation but also to provide a more engaging and immersive experience for the customer Examples – Smartphone demos, augmented reality demos for cars, virtual meetings, presenting 3D models of architectural designs, e-learning modules, and graphics for storytelling
