Bentornato a Pod di inglese commerciale for today’s lesson on delivering an engaging and organized presentation.

Getting up in front of a room full of people to give a presentazione in inglese can be a difficult task. Whether you’re reporting information or trying to convince people to buy something, you need to catch their attention. Then you need to keep it. And at the end of it all, you want them to walk away feeling like they learned something, or they agree with you, or they want to buy what you’re trying to sell them.

Sicuro, it might seem difficult, but there are skills you can learn to make it much easier. Several techniques in both presentation and delivery can help ensure an engaging Presentazione inglese that will wow your listeners.

Nella lezione di oggi, we’ll take a closer look at some of these techniques, including asking people to imagine a situation in order to persuade them, and focusing on the “why” behind your ideas rather than the “what.” We’ll also learn how you can use a single thread throughout your presentation and how you can transition between ideas. And finally we’ll cover how to check in with your listeners and add emphasis.

Today we’ll hear two short dialogs from different presentations. Nel primo, we’ll rejoin a recruiter called Nick who is presenting to some potential recruits for a medical supplies company. Nel secondo, we’ll hear finance manager Diane continue with a report about her company’s quarterly financial results.
