Teach the art of the pitch.
Presentations are a fundamental means of building business relationships and partnerships that sustain and grow companies. In the calendars of busy customers and investors, time is literally money. In 10-Minute Presentations, your participants will learn how to craft and polish an engaging, professional presentation that shares a message and call-to-action swiftly and clearly. This will maximize impact, conversions and productivity.
This workshop will assist you in teaching the essentials of a good presentation, platforms that enhance a message and reach, setting goals and timelines for presentations, creating engaging narrative from outline through final draft, editing and polishing presentations, offering and receiving peer review, and developing best practices for future presentations.
This course, like all Velsoft training materials, is fully customizable and comes complete with an instructor guide, student manual, PowerPoint slides, quick reference guide, and much more.
