Personalise the presentation basing on the information got from the prospect and make it more about them rather than about you

In presenting, I'll be more focused on the prospect needs, the challenges they're facing and the solution that answers it. I'll be outlining how to help them achieve their goals with the approach they have opted for in our previous conversation. I'll let them know I have their best interest at heart, and I'm willing to work with them to achieve their goals.

Preparing for presentation time is quite entertaining, & I believe that carrying this mindset through each personalized delivery is the most effective way to deliver the information, thoroughly, & endearingly :).

For me, the most important thing is to recap all the information that we have been gathering since we first speak with the lead and focus the presentation on the things that has been more valued by the lead.

Two good resources for building rapport - which is NOT small talk - and I love the enthusiasm approach @MNnadi unless its annoying - see second link 🙂

First I recap all what I know about my customer and also try to do a little bit more of research so I can get to know him better. Then, for me its fundamental that the colors and style of my presentation speaks more to my client than to me or about me, so any detail about what he likes or what he or she prefers is crucial. Also the tone of the presentation has to be of a helpful and caring one not an impositive sales person.

you should be knowledgeable about the product or service you are selling to the prospective buyer

I'd put together what I would call a small little portfolio of the products and services that I feel are great for the customer or would fit perfectly into their needs and budgets. I also would put in the portfolio products or services that they liked even if it is not really the best services that I would suggest or recommend. Then I would schedule a date and time with them to present the portfolio and see if one of the products or services is a deal maker.

@BHenderson - do you do a Discovery Call first? https://blog.hubspot.com/sales/discovery-call-questions

I haven't had the chance to do a full presentation yet, but it would go something like this: 

 

  1. Immediately discuss the prospects painpoints
  2. Break those down into sections
  3. Explain how we will tackle each of those sections in a concise, high level overview. 
  4. Value, value, value. 
  5. Re-iterate your top 3 differentiators for that type of client. 
  6. Bring up reviews from clients in their field. 
  7. Leave room for questions.

Spend sometime looking at the lead's profile, checking notes from previous phone&email conversations and building a personalized sales presentation tailored to the organizer needs and goals

To prepare for a sales presentation I typically find solutions to the problems the customers have in common. Once I come up with different resolutions to their problems I began to develop a pitch that would capture the customers attention before introducing the benefits and solutions to their problems.
