Thank you for teaching me so much about consumer psychology. I had scoured the Internet for relevant material but found very few. I was almost beginning to think that these topics can only be learned in management classes. These sites were also helpful: www.karmiccoach.com and www.mysticselling.com. -Sunoj This is a great post on how to build lasting relationships with the client, feel their pulse and respond to their needs.

Much better than in-house. One of the great things about Toastmasters (or other speaking clubs) is that it teaches you to speak with confidence without slides. I did a joint event a few months ago where the technology failed for my part of the presentation and I had to do it with no slides. I ended up getting the very best feedback. Being able to do the presentation with out slides seemed to indicate I really new my stuff and didn't need them as a crutch. And it allowed me to establish a lot more interaction with the audience members. Doug - Toastmasters is excellent - go along as a guest to see what it's like - it's free.

I enjoyed watching your vid, and from my experience your suggestions are useful. Like the toastmaster idea - sounds like a good practice ground.

Lots of great pointers. My only comment was just highlighting the talks that your presenters were going to. Lots of professionals feel pressurised into doing an in-house talk and very often the audience is friendly or contains friendlies. I often think that a better test is go and do a joint hosted event or look to do something within another networking group. Like you say it is a great way to make contacts and generate referrals. I am sure you saw Seth's blog post on bullet points killing presentations and in the days of uTube etc something a bit lively never goes amiss. Warmest regards Julian Ian
