Digg it UP - Presentations - Proper Preparation Prevents Pretty Poor Performance
Well, you've set up your medical billing company and you're all set to do business. Except there's one problem. You don't have any clients. So the question is, how do you go about getting them? Since nobody knows you even exist yet, they're not likely to come knocking on your door. Well, hopefully, af

A 28 year old engineer walked into my office the other day with a question about his personal finances.

I had saved him a few bucks
1. Environment – where will the presentation take place? Does the size and layout of the room suit your purposes? Is it to be formal of informal? Are all the necessary facilities available?
What kind of aids do you need? Would some props would be useful? If using technology, always have a back-up so that a technical failure does not bring everything to a halt.
How much time have you got? 30 minutes sounds a long time, but can go very quickly, particularly if people are asking questions.
2. Audience - who are they? How many will there be and what do they already know? Should your language be technical or colloquial? What kind of questions might they ask? Are they friendly or do they need convincing?
3. Objective – what are you trying to achieve here? Using that reliable old technique, the SMART objective, will help you here. In other words your objective should be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic/Relevant and Timebound.

Often open-ended questions require 'probes' from the interviewer. A probe is encouragement from the interviewer for the respondent to elaborate or continue the discussion. The interviewer may say, "Is there anything else?" or "Would you elaborate on that?" Probes aid in clarifying the respondent's inter

4. Structure – you need to have a clear structure so that people will follow what you are saying. My favourite is the 5-part structure of: Attention-grabber – an interesting anecdote or maybe some unexpected fact or statistic.
Introduction – tell them what you are going to tell them and why!
Main body – see Content below.
Conclusion – sum up your arguments neatly.
Link back to the attention-grabber to close.
5. Content - keep it short and simple. It is tempting to stick in lots of detail to show how knowledgeable you are, but you may only succeed in sending the audience to sleep. Never pretend to know more than you do. It is very embarrassing to get caught out!
Having got this far, you now need to practise your presentation, preferably with a sympathetic but objective observer to give you feedback. Only by talking out loud will you become comfortable with your material and discover what flows well when spoken, as opposed to what reads well on the page. You may need to make adju
