A weak presentation closing can dilute your message and at worst, nullify your impact. In Part 4 of this series, Mark and Darren explore both principles for a solid closing, and mistakes that inexperienced presenters tend to make. This episode covers Step #5: CREATE YOUR COMPELLING CLOSE.

 

SNIPPETS:

 

• Your close should reinforce your premise

 

• There are several closing options

 

• Select the most appropriate closing for your specific presentation

 

• The DIALOG CLOSE is a flexible and easy option

 

• A compelling close is an opportunity to repeat and reinforce a guru's wisdom

 

• Internalize your closing; know it cold

 

• Prepare your closing and opening like choosing slices of bread for a sandwich

 

• Avoid the common mistake of delivering multiple closings

 

• Use Q & A to set up your closing

 

• NEVER end on Q & A; leave one final point that inspires your audience
