Presentations are the 6th Step in the PPSS sales process. The objective of any presentation is – to motivate to action. This article deals with the structure and skills that are required for effective presentations. As this article will show – there is no point in doing a sales presentation unless all the preceding steps of the sales process have been executed.

About The Author


James Gracey
(Visit James's Website) I started my selling career as a sales assistant in my fathers' toy shop at the age of 15. It was there that I was first exposed to the relationship between emotion, buying and selling. In my 25 year sales career it has always struck me as strange that the profession of selling had no best practice process that governed selling activity. All other professions have disciplines and codes of conduct that qualify individuals to practice that profession. The daily activities of salespeople though, tend to be unstructured and opportunistic. In the 1990’s I started researching the relationship between professional sales activity and the emotional interaction between buyer and seller. I then applied the IT process control experience I have. The result is a framework (PPSS methodology) that brings together: > A sales process (industry and product agnostic) that manages the progress of sales opportunities. > Mapped to the process – Professional sales behavior and activities. > Models that will align selling skills of the corporate sales force to business process and corporate strategy. I have also developed workshops and training courses: Refer to http://www.openfire.co.za
