8-Hour Live Interactive Online Workshop:

Superior Shortlist Presentation Skills

Increase Your Win Rate

Overcome Anxiety

Lower Your Overhead

Training Workshop Description

 

Your shortlist presentation skills have a tremendous impact on your firm's success and your personal success because these skills can increase your revenue and profitability by improving your win rate, help you to overcome anxiety when presenting, and lower your overhead by increasing the return on the investments you make pursuing work and writing proposals. 

 

In this powerful 8-hour workshop you'll learn how to prepare and deliver superior shortlist presentations by applying the science of persuasive communication to increase the selection committee's attention, receptivity, comprehension, alignment, unaided recall, motivation, and response to your message, all resulting in higher scores.

 

In this highly interactive training workshop you’ll learn and practice how to:

 

  • Demonstrate leadership before you say a word

  • Truly differentiate your firm from competitors using attribute analysis

  • Recast the evaluation criteria in a manner that favors your firm's strengths

 

  • Shift the focus from you to your client by translating features into client benefits

  • Triple your persuasive power by aligning benefits with decision-making factors

 

  • Shift from using bullet points to powerful visual images that trigger an emotional response 10 times faster than the cognitive process

 

  • Enhance your technical approach by making it process-oriented

  • Apply passion where you lack confidence

  • Score more points during Q&A

  • Prepare and provide handouts that increase your score

If you would like to learn and practice how to apply the techniques to your own firm's presentation content, bring an electronic file containing one or more of your firm's presentations to the workshop.

Learning Objectives

  • Learn what matters most when it comes to increasing your presentation score.

 

  • Learn and practice techniques proven to increase selection committee attention, receptivity, comprehension, alignment, unaided recall, motivation, and response, which all lead to a higher score.
