This is something that happens often so it’s a good idea to know what to say.

The expression you’ll learn will help you feel calm, it’s easy, and you’ll make a good impression.

Check out the video to learn what to do when someone introduces you.

Presentation Tip: When someone introduces you

I hope you never have had to experience a difficult audience during your English powerpoint presentations but if you do its good to know how to handle it correctly.

In this final video in the three part series I will cover two areas – Attention and Hecklers.

Attention

Usually an audience will be respectful to presenters – but only if the presenter is being informative, stimulating, useful or entertaining. If you are not then you will simply lose them.

You can however fix this with some simple solutions.

• Maybe your audience is tired, thirsty, hungry or restless. So give them a break, they will be able to leave their seats and move around. Surprise them with a coffee break or even an early lunch.
• Maybe you could ask them about their concerns – ask for feedback. But I would offer caution here as this might not always be suitable.
• If the audience is not paying attention maybe your presentation is too complicated or weak in its delivery. Remember often as the presenter you may be more interested in the presentation than your audience – don’t talk for too long! You could ask them, questions or even create a debate if the situation allows.
• If you feel that you are losing your audience though and none of the above will help, finish your presentation as soon as you can in a professional manner.

Hecklers

I hope you never have to face this situation when presenting — usually only politicians and stand-up comedians have to deal with hecklers. They are usually prepared to take on hecklers but as presenters we aren’t.

So what should you do? Well either smile and ignore them or ask them to shut up or leave.

Summary

In this presentation we have covered Attention – how to keep your audience attentive during your presentation and also Hecklers – how to deal with hecklers.

Action

1. Make a presentation 3 or 4 minutes.

2. Consider the two areas covered in this presentation and also articles 1 & 2 of this series

3. Do your powerpoint presentation to an audience and video it.

4. Get feedback

Thank you for taking the time to watch this sample Powerpoint presentation and I hope you find it useful.

“In this video, I’m going to show you how to properly and simply end a presentation.

Why?

The reason is quite simple. Every presentation needs an ending. But you have to do it politely and skillfully because you don’t want to ruin the good impression you’ve created during the entire presentation. And ending a presentation is different from the doing the conclusion. In the conclusion, I taught you to summarize the main points from your presentation.

However, ending the presentation is merely a way to wrap up the presentation and politely finish what you’re talking about. Ending the presentation should be simple and straightforward. So, please watch the video and listen to how I use some simple expressions to end the presentation. This will be especially beneficial for those of you whose first language is not English.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgRpvgCj-QY

The first thing you have to do, is finish the Q&A session by checking if there are any other questions. This is really simple. All you have to do is acknowledge the final question and ask if there are any other questions. So, you can say something like this:

“Great question. Any other questions?”

Then you’re going to move on to the last thing you’ll say to the audience, which is:

“Well, I think that’s about it. I want to thank you once again for allowing me to speak to you today. If you have any further questions or want additional information, please feel free to contact me by email/phone. Thank you.”

Just be sure to include your e-mail address and phone number or they won’t know how to contact you.

And that brings me to the end of my presentation. Let me give you a summary of what I’ve been talking about over the last few minutes…

In this video, I talked about how to easily and simply end a presentation. I first said that the end of the presentation is different than the conclusion. The ending is to wrap up the presentation and the conclusion is to summarize your main points. Then I gave you two expressions to use to end the presentation. The first expression was meant to acknowledge the final question that you may get and asks if there are any more questions. And this was simply: “Great question. Any other questions?”

The second expression ends the presentation by thanking the audience and providing your contact information. And the expression was: “Well, I think that’s about it. I want to thank you once again for allowing me to speak to you today. If you have any further questions or want additional information, please feel free to contact me by email/phone. Thank you.” Just make sure that you actually give them your e-mail or phone number.

And for the action, all I want you to do is don’t give up and keep trying and know that you will get better. It’s all a matter of practicing and getting feedback, so keep practicing and try to find a friend to practice with and to give you feedback.

There you go. You can now easily and successfully ended your presentation. Hopefully, you’ve watched all the videos and learned how to give an effective presentation using some simple expressions. Good luck and be sure to check back for more help with your presentations.

Finally, be sure to let us know if you have any questions or comments about this video or anything else about presentations.

Thanks and see you again soon here at presentationexpressions.com.”

I hope that by watching all of the videos that I’ve made for you, you can see that giving an effective presentation doesn’t have to be difficult. In fact, it can be rather simple if you use some common expressions and make sure that your presentation is well organized. You don’t have to memorize your presentation word for word or even memorize all of the expressions that I’ve taught you word for word. It’s more important to understand what content you want to deliver and what you want people to understand from your presentation.

I would recommend watching all of the videos from the beginning again, especially if English is your second language. Also, I would love to see your presentations. You’re always welcome to send your presentations to us or direct us to a website or URL where we can view your presentation.

Thank you so much for watching these videos and following along with us here at PresentationExpressions.com. I really hope you are learning a lot about presentations and will be able to give great, memorable, and effective presentations.

I hope you never have to experience a difficult audience during your English powerpoint presentations but if you do its good to know how to handle it correctly.

Action

1. Make a presentation 3 or 4 minutes.
2. Consider the three areas covered in this presentation and also video 1
3. Present and video

Why?

Well, imagine getting a question during an important business or sales presentation and you can’t answer the question. Think about how your client or prospect is going to feel when you’re up there humming and hawing away, feeling your face getting redder and redder. They’re not going to have much confidence in you, your so-called sales or business presentation or your product or service, which is really bad, of course. People tend to buy from people they feel comfortable with, so if you look and feel uncomfortable during your presentation, they’re going to pick that up, both consciously and unconsciously. And questions from prospects or clients are often objections and you’re not going to motivate your client or prospect to take action if you don’t overcome their objections.

So, how do we best deal with questions during a presentation? There are many techniques, but I think it’s important to use something simple because it’ll be easier to remember and it’ll be something you can use confidently. That confidence will come through when you deal with questions you can’t answer, which means your client or prospect will still believe in you and your sales or business presentation. So, let’s move onto exactly what to do.

Please watch the following video and do the practice I will tell you about. If English is your second language, then please watch the video as many times as possible to improve your listening skills and your presentation skills at the same time.

Thank you.
