...takes steps the speaker needs to do to prepare the presentation. Audience analysis is one way a speaker can prepare the presentation’s effectiveness. The speaker must explore the different characteristics of the target audience. In the case of a quarterly sales meeting, the audience includes managers, salespeople, and customers. The speaker breaks down the audience characteristics and what demographics make up the analysis. This would include professional and nonprofessional. The speaker must also consider what channel of communication to use at the presentation to ensure meeting the expectations of the audience. This channel can be formal or informal. Formal communication is organized and managed. The information is shared with relevant people within the organization. Informal communication is used within the organization and not used with informational meetings outside the organization. Audience Characteristics The speaker must make sure every member of the audience can understand his or her presentation. The speaker can do this by having a clear understanding of the unique needs of the audience. The speaker must know of any similarities and differences in the audience. Stakeholders First consider who the stakeholders are. In the case of a quarterly sales meeting, the stakeholders are managers, salespeople, and customers.

...Creating a PowerPoint presentation, or deck, for your business plan is a quick, to-the-point means of revealing your best selling points to those reviewing it, while still sending over your more detailed plan. The question is, how do you organize and minimize the breadth of a business plan into a short PowerPoint presentation? First, it’s recommended that you use the 10–20–30 rule: 10 slides, 20 minutes and a minimum 30-point font. Follow these additional tips to create a winning deck: 1. Your first slide is your title slide, which provides the name of the business, your name, title and contact information, plus a slogan if you have one. During the presentation, you can read the slide and add in a sentence that describes what it is you do. 2. The next slide should introduce a problem that persists and is relatable to your target market. Statistics can help you support your comments, but cite only a couple at best. You want the audience to relate to the problem or at least understand how it affects others. 3. The third slide should get to your solution. Briefly describe in simple terms how your business has figured out how to alleviate the problem you mentioned in slide 2. Make sure the audience understands that you have a unique approach. You might also add a few words to support your overall value proposition. 4. Next, you want to explain how you'll make money. What are your revenue sources? Who are your customers? What is your pricing structure? Then talk briefly about...

...Anacely Ledezma Mgmt 3330.003 April 19, 2010 Assignment #5 Visual Aids are extremely important when they help an audience understand a presentation or speech more clearly. Audiences vary in regards to their ability to capture ideas and thus with visual aids could be presented the opportunity to further comprehend a concept. Most audiences also include a mix of different types of learners. As a presenter, it is crucial to make sure that the presentation given targets each type of learner whether visual, kinesthetic, or auditory. When a presentation includes visual aids it captures the attention of those visual learners and thus gives another portion of the audience to comprehend what is being spoken to auditory learners and the personal stories given to kinesthetic. Each presenter might have a different way to provide a visual aid for an audience. Whiteboards would be key for large rooms, such as lectures. They could be used to present notes, charts, graphs, and tables. The presenter could use those to best display statistics and other important data to large groups. If the notes, charts, graphs, and tables required changes those could be easily added/erased to provide the new relevant information to the audience. They could also be used throughout a long presentation as a reference point if multiple discussions involved them. Another type of visual aid that could be beneficial would be a handout. A presenter could easily type a synopsis of the discussion ahead...
