Here is an important sales presentation tip I shared with?Long & Foster, the largest real estate company in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. This is something that anyone giving a sales presentation should keep in mind.
When Does Your Sales Presentation Start?
When you open your presentation, understand you are opening long before you actually stand up and speak. If you want to have a great impact, interact with the audience, shake hands, meet as many as you can before you actually speak. We are very rarely nervous with one person, even if it?s someone very important. We only get nervous when it?s an audience, or a crowd, or a committee. So why don?t you use what I call the ?schmooze factor.? You?schmooze before you open your presentation. Then when you stand up you have already made friends. The first 30 seconds and the last 30 seconds should have the most impact. I don?t want you to start your speech with, ?Hello, my name is.? NO, because you?ve already met them. Even if you haven?t, there are much better ways to begin your presentation. Until you connect with the audience and they really don?t care who you are.
Give the opening and closing of your talk a little extra thought, time and effort. Get, ideas on how you might open and close your speech from this helpful free article, ?Open and Close Your Presentations with Power.?

While the Federal Trade Commission absolved Google of monopoly accusations earlier today for prioritizing its own products in search results, it's questionable whether the search giant can ever be considered a monopoly, if consumers continue to rely on Google to offer up solutions without the inconvenience of comparison shopping other services. There's countless review websites to help me choose the best restaurants, a handful of map applications to give me the quickest driving directions, and a litany of coupon search engines to find me the cheapest price. In the interest of efficiency, more and more users may want a company like Google to recommend a restaurent, present driving directions in Google Maps, and offer a great coupon--all in one search.
