#699 Presentations Made Simple - a podcast by Roundpeg

No matter what your job is, sales expert, business owner or manager working your way up the corporate ladder, you're going to have to sell your ideas.  The prospect can be a little scary but it doesn't have to be according to our guest Patrick Donadio.

He shares some simple tips like opening with a hook instead of an introduction.  You can open with a question or a compelling statistic that catches their attention. Then you have earned the right to tell them who you are.  

Engage the audience on an physical, mental and emotional level.  Then close with a specific call to action.
