A Speech Geek’s Research Study & Exploration of Common Presentation Mistakes Sales Professionals Make in Today’s Market
This national study builds on our previous work in the area of sales presentations and digs deeper into the art and science of crafting an effective message to move a transaction forward. Our new findings are already helping people avoid critical presentation pitfalls and improve their results. We are pleased to present this important research for your review.
This research was born from a simple yet significant question:
Does making a sales presentation mistake impact the outcome or the ability to move a transaction forward?
The answer is: Yes.
Adopting the “no-research-about-us-without-us (and-for-us!)” philosophy, Terri and her team designed a simple survey to be completed only by people whose livelihoods depend on their ability to build and deliver persuasive presentations. Their responses were based on self-reported data, so they reflect what these sales professionals are thinking and doing on a regular basis in the field.
