Presentations - Easy as 1 - 2 - 3

When preparing for a presentation as a professional sales person, there is no need to “stress out” over the presentation itself. The focus on the presentation should be to keep it simple, both in terms of preparing for the presentation and in what you include in the content as well. This message is primarily for the presentations that would encompass a room full of individuals – not a one-on-one meeting with a potential buyer. The concept that the presentation should be as “Easy as 1-2-3” surrounds a process that follows the following idea: First – you want to share with the audience the concept of the message – in other words . . . TELL “EM Second – you want to share the heart of the message with the audience – in other words . . . TELL ‘EM WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO TELL THEM Third – you will want to wrap up your message with the audience – in other words . . . TELL ‘EM WHAT YOU JUST TOLD THEM Following this simple concept with assist you with not only the preparation but also the actual delivery of your presentation. Willard’s Wisdom

Re: e-Commerce and e-Payment providers - When I came back to Japan in 1999 I sometimes used to ask my students if they would buy anything on the Internet and at that time most thought it was too risky. I'd encourage them to try by using well known sites such as Amazon.co.jp and also pointed out that using a credit card on a reputable site was safer than using it at a restaurant. I can't remember the last time I had that discussion or when the "tipping point" occurred in Japan. To answer your other question, I use Paypal for several reasons: 1. Brand familiarity 2. Easy to use 3. Free to withdraw 50,000yen+ to my Japanese bank account - a huge benefit (but maybe other systems also offer that...?) 4. Easy to cancel subscriptions On the down side, their transaction fees are quite costly, they are difficult to contact and when disputes arise you can sometimes lose even when you can prove via your tracking service that the disputed item was "delivered" to the customer's address!
Re: Domain name sugestion - Hi Anelly, Support-Box.com sounds very good to me. Easy and catchy.
Delegating - Good info and interesting list. Easy to see how the authority or power is slowly passed to the person - the secret would be knowing WHEN to move to the next step. I like to avoid people who are stuck at the #1 level. Chris
Yugma - MAC & PC - Shri, This online tool is great for the following: - Webpage walk throughs or showcasing a website and it's functionality - Demo something on your Computer - Presentations of your powerpoint slides You can have a number of users online at the same time and you are given a free teleconference line (may be long distance to the callers or you have the option of a toll fre number). you can now have customers from across the continent - including overseas at a presentation. No need to book rooms, AV equipment, snacks etc. etc. You can also record the conference to be replayed at a later time. So do a conference once and make it available on your site. does anyone use a similar tool (gotomeeting or webex) in other creative ways?
What makes you keep coming back for more? - I am researching on personal preferences that keeps the visitors coming back to a web site. What would be great is if people would list out their preferences of what keeps them interested to keep visiting a website in order or importance. For me it is:- 1. Content – Value, Depth and Recency of Information provided 2. User Friendliness – Easy Navigation, Simple graphic design etc. 3. Service – download time, contactability etc.
