"Presentation skills become more and more important to our sales people as their careers progress. When they start as a sales engineer its very much about 1-1 meetings and demonstrations BUT as they move up in the company, it becomes increasingly important to present better with a clear message to audiences they’ve never met before. The stakes are getting higher and it's more of a challenge. We need our team to:

  • know what is their goal? and what is the outcome they are looking for from the presentation?
  • then ask, “what content will I actually need?” to achieve that goal.
  • confidently get their message across in a clear and authentic way.
  • ensure they, their message, and our solutions are remembered by the client"
