Three things experts MUST do to give a great presentation

As an expert, one of your greatest opportunities to build your market reach and client base is to get on the platform and give a “knock their socks off” presentation.
If you’re an entrepreneur , there are very few strategies that compare to getting on the platform in order to build your credibility, visibility, market reach, client base and revenues.
As an “expert” your job is to give the best presentation you possibly can. The long-term benefits of using speaking to build your business are beyond compare.
Three “must-do’s” for HOT presentations are:
• Know your audience
• Tell stories
• Give it your all
Know your audience
It’s all very fine to be a good, or even great, speaker, but even great speakers need to know who’s in their audience. The more you know who your audience is the more you can customize your presentation to their needs.
Knowing your audience requires time upfront. There are a number of ways to become familiar with your audience including a pre-event questionnaire, one on one conversations with a cross-section of the audience and studying the website of the group you are presenting to.
By taking time upfront to know your audience, it’s a sure bet you will stand head and shoulders above other speakers.
Tell stories
Facts and figures may be a huge part of your message, but stories make your points memorable. People love stories. If you’re not a good storyteller, put effort into learning how. The ability to be a storyteller will take you from an average speaker to a memorable speaker.
Keep your stories short and make a point with your story. Avoid starting your story with, “I’m going to tell you a story.” Simply go into your story.
Give it your all
When people give you their time by sitting in your audience, your job is to give 100% to the experience. To not do so is doing your audience a disservice.
• Make your audience feel as though they are the most important people around.
• Have fun. When you have fun your audience will to.
• Stay excited throughout. This doesn’t mean you have to jump around and bounce off the walls. It simply means be fully present throughout the presentation.
Regardless of what industry you’re in, if you want to be viewed as the go-to expert, presentations are, by far, the best way to do so. They are also the best way to sell books , information products and enroll clients into your high-end services.
