Review: The 9 Biggest Sales Presentation Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

May 19, 2008

Whatever your speaking level, here’s 46 minutes you’ll enjoy and benefit from. Recorded from a live presentation, Terri Sjodin presents New Sales Speak: The 9 Biggest Sales Presentation Mistakes & How to Avoid Them. This highly-rated presentation by top speaking pro Terri Sjodin is both a blinding flash of the obvious (which we all need sometimes) as well as an insightful look at the essential elements of a good, persuasive presentation, along with the dreaded nine most common mistakes, why they happen, and how to prevent them.

At the core of Terri’s message is that we need to make our presentations persuasive, not simply informative. Accompanying this message is the axiom that, whatever we’re presenting, we are selling/marketing something. This sets the stage for the balance of her presentation, which includes pithy and helpful pointers to making your case, creating a memorable presentation style, and, of course, avoiding those nine common mistakes.

Terri Sjodin is a full-time professional speaker and trainer specializing in advancing the persuasive presentations skills of professionals. She is also the author of the highly acclaimed book Mentoring, co-authored with Floyd Wickman.

If you haven’t yet discovered the world of audiobooks, you’ll find it’s a welcome addition to an overloaded life, allowing you to “read” those books that you haven’t had time for. With audiobooks you can read while you drive, walk, run or work out at the gym. And if you haven’t discovered Audible (recently acquired by Amazon and one of our site sponsors) you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how easy it has become to download a book, load it on to your audio player, whether it be an iPod or just about anything else.

P.S. If you decide to sign up for Audible (I recommend and subscribe to a Gold membership) don’t use your free credit for this title as it costs under ten bucks. Use your credit for a more expensive title and simply purchase this title.
