Got a presentation to make? Not sure where to start?
It doesn’t really matter what sort of presentation it is. It could be a sales page, or something where you’ve actually got to get up and speak, the principle is the same.
You could try one of these approaches to get attention right away:-
1 Make a really radical statement
2 Get them curious or use humour
3 Engage them with an entertaining story
4 Throw in a famous quote or two
5 Make an analogy, but make it different
6 Go VERY visual-paint an image using words
7 Ask a question-rhetorical or otherwise
8 Drop a troubling or off the wall statistic.
9 Appeal to the “Whats in it 4 me” in everybody
Try each one to see what works best for you in different scenarios, but have fun with it!
Great list, Mike, thanks for this.
Enjoy the journey.

Thanks Mandy.
Nice to hear from you.

Hi Mike,
Its funny you should create a post about statements in all forms, i have been told by many people my sense of humour is a statement in itself and that it adds character to my blog, which in all honesty is accidental because my blog is me thats the way i am, and i guess thats a statement in itself!
Cheers for that Mike….Ed.
Hi John
Keep your sense of humour when all about you is losing theirs…………….
Mr R Kiplings “If” is just the best………………and spot on even today!
Thanks for the post

Hi Mike
having worked in Sales a long time, I can relate to all of those. It’s always good to mix things up or freshen things if you have been doing the same presentation for ages, which I had.
Great list, thanks for sharing
cheers

Great post. I’ll be trying some of these out.
