Q: “How can I keep customer’s involved in my presentation when I feel like a talking head attached to a slide deck?” A: By keeping your presentation interactive and dialog-rich, you will be more likely to close the deal. Fewer slides = more interaction = faster closed sales! Tip: Use the “INVOLVE” acronym to keep the customer’s attention. I = INTEREST your customer N = NEVER use “I think” V = VERBALLY ask check-in questions O = ORGANIZE your thoughts before presenting L = LET your customers interrupt with questions V = VERIFY that you’re meeting needs E = EXPRESS yourself skillfully
Q: “Why spend time preparing for a customer presentation when the Marketing Department has prepared the slides and content in advance?” A: Marketing doesn’t know your particular customer’s real needs. Organizing and preparing in advance is critical to closing during the presentation.SalesPEAK Example Program Topics: -Testimonial: “I have benefitted from the tools that were added to my kit bag.
