What will you learn?
Upon completing this course, attendees will understand and be able to:
Day 1:
- Quickly write and format presentations designed to meet a specific objective - to inform, inspire or persuade
- Deliver presentations confidently, clearly and with purpose
- Produce effective Powerpoint presentation slides
- Develop strategies for managing any nerves that they may encounter when speaking
Day 2:
- Analyse the level of understanding of our audience
- Prescribe what they need to know
- Explain any topic in a visual format that they can understand in just one slide (yes, really!)
- Deliver the explanation in a compelling and relevant way (through language, structure and body)
Day 1 - perfect pitching (for Account Management / client facing teams!)
An engaging presentation or talk can seal the deal on that £100,000+ order, cement a customer relationship for life and bring clarity to client relationships.
This full day session is designed to train Account Managers / client-facing teams to write and deliver presentations that:
- can be written in 20 minutes (we always wants more time in the day!)
- clearly demonstrate the value of your solution to your clients
- creatively engage the audience to get their message across
- are delivered with confidence and conviction every time.
Day 2 - technically speaking (great for digital and creative types!)
Clients can only buy into what they understand. It's much easier to sell ideas when developers and creatives can make complex topics simple. Agencies that can do this have stronger client relationships and an inbox full of invitations to speak at conferences!
Designed to give your digital and creative teams the tools to explain any topic to any audience, they will learn how to:
- analyse the level of understanding of their audience
- prescribe what they need to know
- explain any topic in a visual format that they can understand in just one slide (yes, really!)
- deliver the explanation in a compelling and relevant way.
