One way to increase audience buy-in is to customize your presentation. 

Today, Darren and Mark dive into the why and how of customization. Applying these ideas will help any presenter to be unforgettable.

 

SNIPPETS:

 

• Customizing isn't just using the company's logo and name on your slides

 

• Do some homework and conduct research on your client

 

• Get permission to speak with 10 significant audience members beforehand

 

• Learn all you can during your client pre-event call

 

• Two weeks in advance, find out what's top-of-mind for your audience

 

• Arrive at the event at least a day early

 

• Attend mixers and social gatherings at the event

 

• Pay attention to hallway conversations

 

• Connect your material to their world

 

• Be flexible enough to make adjustments in the moment

 

• Use the Fripp Speech Model; it is easily customizable

 

• Replace one of your stories/examples with one from your client

 

• Take photos and video at the event and insert them into your presentation
