How to create riveting presentations on stage and on webinars

How do you create credibility with a -cold audience-and in under 10 minutes?

Without credibility, it’s almost impossible to sell to an audience

In the year 2008, I stood before an audience of about 250 people in Chicago. It was a conference (like most conferences you go to). And it was my turn to speak. After my speech, I made an offer to the audience for some of our products. And most  of the audience bought the product priced at about a little over $300.

The interesting part was that I wasn’t the first speaker (I might have been the sixth). So I didn’t have a first-speaker advantage. In fact, most of the audience didn’t know me well. And yet I sold over $20,000 worth of product, without the usual -sales pitch.

So what causes presentations to come alive?

Most of us have given presentations, but this isn’t about just -given presentations. It’s about setting the stage alight, no matter how good the competition. No matter whether your presentation is digital, live or recorded, it needs to get you from -little known to credible  in double-quick speed.

So why is this factor of speed so critical?

As a presenter you’re  either getting the audience to buy into an idea, or invest in a  product or service. For a -cold audience to make such a leap of faith, you need more than good ol’ fashioned luck. Instead, you’ll need a step-by-system that  allows the audience to be locked in to your presentation, from the start to finish. And you know you’ll have done an outstanding job not  because of the applause, but  because of the action the audience takes right after your presentation.

So how do you get your audience to act? How do you create and sustain that credibility? Is there really a logical structure that gets  results every single time?

Introducing the -˜Black Belt Presentations-˜ Series

In this series, you get to go in depth and see what makes a Psychotactics presentation so elegant,  yet so powerful (if you’ve ever been to any of our presentations you’ll know what I mean).

The Black Belt Presentation Series is a system that gets the audience to drop whatever they’re doing and pay attention to what you’re saying. Almost immediately, it creates a -like factor around you.

It’s the structure that helps create the -like factor  in your presentation

The best presenters in the world know that presentations are not just a matter of stringing a few slides together. Instead, it’s a series of well-designed and well-choreographed pieces of  information.  Information that keeps the audience completely engaged as you move from one topic to the other.

So how do you get this trio of design, delivery and control?

Presenting -Black Belt Presentations. It’s a series of three books + audio that span a chunky 100+ pages each plus, of course, audio.

Book 1: Slide Design and Packaging

This is about creating presentations that are so yummy that the audience is gobsmacked. They want to know how you made your presentation so simple, yet so luscious.

And you, of course, learn how you can create designer-presentations-and do it without a massive graphics budget. This part is about creating packaging that makes your presentation stand out from every other presenter.

Book 2: Controlling the Delivery

Most of us have some kind of system. It’s called the start-muddle-end. Yes, muddle. Sit back and think of even one presenter who’s really rocked your boots recently? Can you think of that person?

If you can, it’s a person with a delivery system. The delivery system we’re going to use is called the 13-Box System. If someone wakes you at 3am, you should be able to get your presentation going-groggily but technically correct.

Book 3: Controlling the Event (with premium option)

Control sounds like an ugly word. But the lack of control is chaos. And yet control isn’t about hypnotising your audience into submission.

Rather it’s about creating an environment that’s right for learning. Once you have control, you have an audience that knows they’re in the hands of a maestro. And they’ll come along happily for the ride.

You Don’t Need Fancy Stuff

What you do need is a solid understanding of what makes a presentation extremely powerful. And that gives you a boost to put your best foot forward. And to create a presentation that creates real results for a change.

The -˜Black Belt Presentations’ series contains almost 100,000 words and about 400 pages of solid content. And not just some crappy re-packaged content. Every page of the audio and text in the book will give you a deeper insight into how to dramatically improve your presentations.

Special -Premium Bonus

A live presentation + transcript

It’s one thing to read a series of books on how to create a great presentation. It’s quite another thing to experience the presentation slides themselves-pretty much like you’d see in a webinar or live session. In this special bonus (which isn’t available elsewhere), you’ll see a live demonstration of the presentation itself.

In this presentation, you’ll see how the slides are being used, how they get introduced bit by bit, and how animation is subtle, but continuous. Plus it’s like being at the presentation itself (you’ll learn about the topic being presented, which is about The Brain Audit).

There’s also a transcript, so you can follow along or refer back to, later.
