The presentation on “How to buy a new car” by Rob Gruhl was effectively delivered to the audience. Rob had a clear and loud voice, which made his point across; his choice of words was very effective, because he used clear sentences and visual representation on the power point slides. The visuals, were eye catching and humors, and engaged the audience in laughter. His technique and style of presenting is getting to the point, and saying the facts as they are. His vocals were clear and very projective, so everyone in the room could hear him. The main advantage of this presentation is that the author delivered very important facts about how to sell a car to the audience, in less then five minutes. He is also very honest with his audience, and clear about his opinion, which makes this message effective. There are no drawbacks to this presentation, however if he slowed down his speech a little, it would have been a lot better. At the end of the presentation he concluded with some of the key factors he mentioned in the presentation, as a reminder to the audience. This is key when presenting because it reminds the audience about the message you are trying to get across. Some of the characteristics of a good presentation used in this speech were: eye contact, avoiding long sentences, speaks in clear voice, not using slang and bringing the presentation to a close. All these were discussed in chapter 12 and were effectively used by the speaker. Some that were missed were: Maintaining a good posture, dress accordingly, and pace yourself. Overall, the message was well delivered and very effective.
