Sorry to say, but there is a lot of pressure on salespeople today, especially in this economy. At the head of the pressure list is the sales presentation. It’s “make it or break it” time! Here is some sales presentation training advice that will assist you during your next sales presentation.
Get Focused
My sales presentation training begins by helping sales reps get in the moment. I want them to forget everything that may be going on in their home or in their office. I want these sales reps totally focused on their prospect and their sales presentation.
The sales technique I teach in my sales presentation training is one I use every time I give a presentation. It has to do with using a trigger. A trigger is something you say to yourself that gets you focused on the moment. I say, “Show Time”. Feel free to use it or develop your own trigger. It will help you clear your mind and it will also elevate your energy level. I made a big point of triggers in my sales training programs.
Training On Sales Presentations
The key to a successful sales presentation is to relate and connect with your prospects. Therefore, it’s critical to appear self assured and at the top of your game. Never begin by trying to be funny or overly friendly. Instead, be professional yet approachable.
Start with your sales presentation agenda because your audience is anxious to learn what will be covered. Then, ask your audience if there is something else they would like you to cover. If so, be sure to include it in your sales presentation.
Sales presentations are not a speech or lecture. Sales presentations require interaction between the sales rep and the audience. The more your audience is involved the better. If your audience is not participating, something may be going very wrong so back up and rethink your strategy. Start asking questions then get back on track.
Sales Presentation Training On Using Slides
Sales presentations usually involve some slides so here is some quick sales training advice on using slides.
Keep your slides short
Never read to your audience
Never face the slides
Always face your audience
Check all equipment well in advance
These simple steps will insure you deliver a successful sales presentation.
Sales Presentation Training And The Sales Process
The Sales Process is at the center of all sales presentations. I strongly cover this point in my sales presentation training. In may respects, a sales presentation is a “one call close” and that’s why you must follow the Sales Process.
The Sales Process is the key to sales success. If you are not a master of the Sales Process, I urge you to get some Sales Process training. That training will serve you well on your next sales presentation

Planning versus Pressure
By: Simon Roskrow | 26/11/2009As a big fan of the MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator), I tend to both consciously and subconsciously filter much of what I experience through the four dichotomies, as a potential means for understanding behaviours, and as a challenge to some of the underlying principles behind the model. The dichotomy that has been at the forefront of my mind recently has been the “J-P” (Judging - Perceiving) one, that essentially looks at how things get done.
Authentic Communication
By: Simon Roskrow | 26/11/2009Training in communication skills tends to cover voice tonality and modulation, body language, the words used, props (visual aids and so on), eye contact, interaction with the audience, understanding your audience, and so on. We buy into all of these and more, as tips and techniques, but I was reminded this morning of the single biggest driver of great communication - being authentic.
