Presentation Mastery is a major secret to success that isn't yet widely known and practiced. Here are four essential practices you need to master:
1. Know Thy Audience To Exceed Expectations, Understand Personality Types, Character Identities, and How to Uncover Them. Master presenters learn the composition of their audience before the presentation begins, then adjust accordingly. You must always remember that the success of your presentation is not primarily determined by you. It is primarily determined by the person or persons who constitute your audience.
2. Explain the Why Before Planning the How. The single most powerful thing you can do to convince your audience of your message is to provide a convincing reason why they should do what you suggest (or believe what you say). Your audience, like all human beings, is driven by basic subconscious wants. In order to reach them most effectively, you must tailor your presentation in a way that addresses those desires. Remember: Organizations don't make decisions, people do, so make the why for both the organization and for the decision makers themselves.
3. Conquer the Sum of All Fears To Overcome Anxiety. Successful presenters eliminate the unknowns by turning them into knowns. Nervousness with regard to public speaking derives from what Carl Jung concluded was the hard-wired mother of all fears: fear of the unknown. By turning unknown quantities into known quantities, we can overcome the anxieties and uncertainties that often undermine a presenter's confidence. Once we can replace what we imagine the presentation environment might be with what we now see it will be, much of our stress subsides.
4. Arm Yourself. Successful presenters do research to load and organize their presentation arsenal. Do you have a great Presentation Arsenal? Start today to gather and organize your files, stories, examples, statistics, etc., so all your presentations can be more impactful.

Selling is a transference of feeling. If I can make you feel about my product like I feel about my product, you're going to buy my product if there's any way on earth you can do it. That's why it's so important for sales training to deal with the person and his or her convictions.
The effectiveness of your persuasion is measured more on your conviction than your skills. When you become the right kind of sales person, selling the right product, your conviction will be so deep you will accept the responsibility to learn how to successfully persuade a prospective customer to take action. You will be committed to learning the skills. Just because you're a good guy or gal, if you're selling a product with no skills to make the sale, you're not being honest with the customer. the sales process is something you do for the customer; not to the customer

Every time you communicate to another person--with an objective in mind--should be viewed as a presentation. This means you make presentations dozens of times a day. Every time you need to win a colleague, boss or family member over to your point of view it is a presentation! Every time you refer someone to someone else, it's a presentation. Every time you try to convince anybody, anywhere of anything on the phone, in person, one-on-one or in groups--it's a presentation. Add these up and you might actually be making hundreds of presentations in a day!
Unless you are a hermit living on a mountaintop, your life largely consists of your interactions with the people around you. In the office, unless you are everyone's boss, you can't choose all of your colleagues (indeed, it's more likely you haven't chosen any of them). Rarely can you choose your customers. Yet these people hold tremendous sway over your daily progress through the work day and, as important, the ultimate success of your career and business.
