However, many institutes that offer sales presentation training courses take a specific time period before the program ends. To save this time, you can remember some of these tips that will definitely help you in improving your sales presentation skills.

Control your body language

During your sales pitch, make sure that you hold your body correctly. Your body language communicates a tremendous amount of information to the audience about your personality. If you show confidence in your body language, facial expressions and stance, you will be able to impress your prospects even more. The confidence of your body will motivate them to build a trust in whatever you say, resulting in good sales.

Become an enthusiastic leader

As a sales person, it is your job to lead your prospects into buying what you are selling. They are listening to you to get something from you. Therefore, if you want the audience to get excited about your service or product, create this emotion within yourself first. Do anything that excites you. Clap your hands, jump up and down. This would become a warm up for your presentation.

Prepare the prospects

You have to prepare your audience for the presentation.You can play some kind of music, depending on the audience you are going to address, before you step on the stage. This will act as an emotional warm up that will set the mood of the audience.

Following these tips can help you make a commendable sales presentation. If the mood is set and the preparations are made, there will never be a doubt of you giving a memorable presentation.

Where most MyVideoTalk Sales Reps can fall short

Promoting your MyVideoTalk presentation upfront works a little, however it takes away from the value that YOU bring to the table. You need to position yourself as a leader and give people value upfront and then expose them to your MyVideoTalk presentation. This may seem backwards from what your upline is teaching you, however I’d look at the results of what you’re currently doing and ask yourself two questions:

1. Am I doing everything my upline says and seeing little to no results?

2. Can my Team (downline) duplicate my success?

If the answer is No to any of those questions, then it’s time you learn the truth about marketing these types of businesses online. Put yourself in the forefront, attract leads to YOU, expose them to your MyVideoTalk presentation on the back end, and watch your business grow. If you want to know the ins and outs of this, then check out the resource box below.

Job Interview Tip: How to Present a 30/60/90-Day Plan

I’ve been a recruiter and career coach for over 10 years now, and I have always recommended that my candidates use a 30/60/90-day plan in their job interviews, because I used it when I was an employee in the job search. I saw phenomenal results from using it, and my candidates do, too.

Why? A 30/60/90-day plan is an outline for what you’ll do as a new employee in the first 3 months. It shows that you understand the job, can do the job, and will do the job. It’s an “above and beyond” step that impresses hiring managers and alleviates any doubts they may have about your fit for the job. It facilitates the interview conversation, and makes you a stronger candidate.

But the other day, a candidate came back to me and said that he created the plan, but the hiring manager didn’t want to see it. He tried to bring it out and present it, but the interview, which hadn’t been going all that well so far, went from bad to worse. The candidate’s question was, of course, “What should I have done?”

It’s very rare for a hiring manager to not want to see a candidate’s 90-day plan, but when they don’t, it’s typically because they’ve already decided that it’s glaringly obvious to them that you’re not who they want to hire. There’s usually some issue there (which could be anything from experience to education to personality) that you’re just not going to be able to overcome.

In other cases, it’s simply a matter of how you’ve presented the plan. You don’t just come out of the blue in the job interview and say, “I have a 30/60/90-day plan I’d like to show you.” You have to time it right.

For your best time to present your plan, you’re waiting for the trigger point-that question that they ask that is something like,

“How would you do X?”
“What would you do in the first few months on the job?”
“How would you approach this problem?”
“How would you segment your market/customers?”
“What tasks would you tackle first?”

Any question along those lines works. That’s when you say something like, “I’m so glad you asked. Let me show you some of the notes I’ve taken on how I would approach this. They might not be perfect, but if we can talk about this together, you’re going to have a much better picture of my understanding of the job and I’m going to end up with a better understanding of the job, which is a win-win for both of us. Because if I understand the job, and you understand who I am, then we can make a better decision about whether or not to move forward with this.” Most managers will respond to that attitude and explanation very positively.

So, if a manager is not receptive to your 30/60/90-day plan, it’s either because (1) you’re absolutely not a good fit for the job; or (2) you’re just not introducing it at the right time. Keep that in mind when you go into your next interview, and I wish you the best of luck.
