You’ll need to consider several factors for your presentations, regardless of the type. Understanding these considerations will help your presentations be well-received and more effective with their intended message.
Handle questions and interruptions
Ideally, you’re not the only team member who’s participating in giving the presentation. Likely, another team member will be present to take notes. However, if you’re alone, make sure that note taking is still an important part of your presentation. Note taking is beneficial when you need to pause for audience questions or objections, or to get a presentation back on track when someone sidetracks the conversation with an unrelated digression.
Another benefit of note taking is that you can use it to help with follow-up responses. When faced with a question that you don’t have an immediate answer to, make sure that you repeat or rephrase the question so that you have a solid understanding of it. Then, you can use your detailed notes when researching the answer to the question. Make sure that you follow up as soon as possible after the presentation.
Example
The customer asks, “How fast can those forms load?”
You don’t have an immediate answer, so your response can be, “To clarify, you want to know the load times for the forms from this demo? Do you want to know about other forms as well? I’ll note your questions and follow up with you after this meeting.”
