In a way, #marketing is one big #presentation. When we write a blog post or appear on a podcast, we’re presenting. When we research our audience, we’re trying to understand better what they want to see and learn from our #presentations.in other words, #presentation #skills are essential for modern marketers. Hi, i’m cally, from the international institute of digital #marketing, let’s take a look at how to hone those #skills to meet your #marketing objectives. 1. Set goals for developing your #presentation #skills Start by defining exactly what you want to achieve, such as: ● Becoming a better (or first-time) conference speaker ● Delivering more impactful training sessions ● Speaking more persuasively to leads ● Engaging potential prospects at the top of the sales funnel ● Honing your pitch #presentations Also, give yourself a deadline. Rather than generally building up your #presentation #skills, commit to improving your public speaking in time for a specific conference or networking event. 2. Research your audience If i’m speaking to a room of nasa engineers, i’m not going to tell them how to build a better rocket. I can’t tell them anything they don’t already know (and most of what i say would likely be wildly inaccurate). However, i almost certainly know more about #marketing than them. With that in mind, before you start working on your next #presentation, ask yourself the following questions about your audience: ● How old are they? ● Where are they from? ● What jobs do they do? ● Who do they work for? ● How experienced are they? ● What are their pain points? 3. Incorporate humor and stories Throughout human history, storytelling has been one of our most effective tools for influencing, inspiring, and teaching one another. With that in mind, another key way to improve your #presentation #skills is to work on your storytelling. Also, don’t overlook the power of humor to engage an audience. I’m not suggesting you go away and write a 30-minute standup set, but if you can drop a couple one-liners here and there, it can go a long way to getting your audience on your side. 4. Practice in front of an audience Glossophobia, or fear of public speaking, is a common complaint. Clearly, it’s not the “speaking” element that puts us on edge. It’s the idea of doing it in front of an audience. Painful as it might sound, in my experience, the best way to overcome this is to seek out opportunities to speak in front of an audience. This can be in your professional or personal lives. It can be as simple as saying a few words at family gatherings or giving small #presentations to your team at work. You’ve set goals for improving your #presentation #skills, done your research, crafted a handful of engaging anecdotes, and practiced in front of an audience. Now, it’s time to weave all those things together to create a killer #marketing #presentation.
