Sean D’Souza – Blackbelt Presentations

How to create riveting presentations on stage and on webinarsHow do you create credibility with a “cold audience”—and in under 10 minutes?Without credibility, it’s almost impossible to sell to an audienceIn the year 2008, I stood before an audience of about 250 people in Chicago. It was a conference (like most conferences you go to). And it was my turn to speak. After my speech, I made an offer to the audience for some of our products. And most of the audience bought the product priced at about a little over $300.Purchase Sean D’Souza – Blackbelt Presentations courses at here with PRICE $209 $54 Sean D’Souza – Blackbelt PresentationsHow to create riveting presentations on stage and on webinarsHow do you create credibility with a “cold audience”—and in under 10 minutes?Without credibility, it’s almost impossible to sell to an audienceIn the year 2008, I stood before an audience of about 250 people in Chicago. It was a conference (like most conferences you go to). And it was my turn to speak. After my speech, I made an offer to the audience for some of our products. And most of the audience bought the product priced at about a little over $300.The interesting part was that I wasn’t the first speaker (I might have been the sixth). So I didn’t have a first-speaker advantage. In fact, most of the audience didn’t know me well. And yet I sold over $20,000 worth of product, without the usual “sales pitch”.So what causes presentations to come alive?Most of us have given presentations, but this isn’t about just “given” presentations. It’s about setting the stage alight, no matter how good the competition. No matter whether your presentation is digital, live or recorded, it needs to get you from “little known” to credible in double-quick speed.So why is this factor of speed so critical?As a presenter you’re either getting the audience to buy into an idea, or invest in a product or service. For a “cold audience” to make such a leap of faith, you need more than good ol’ fashioned luck. Instead, you’ll need a step-by-system that allows the audience to be locked in to your presentation, from the start to finish. And you know you’ll have done an outstanding job not because of the applause, but because of the action the audience takes right after your presentation.So how do you get your audience to act? How do you create and sustain that credibility? Is there really a logical structure that gets results every single time?Introducing the ‘Black Belt Presentations’ SeriesIn this series, you get to go in depth and see what makes a Psychotactics presentation so elegant, yet so powerful (if you’ve ever been to any of our presentations you’ll know what I mean).The Black Belt Presentation Series is a system that gets the audience to drop whatever they’re doing and pay attention to what you’re saying. Almost immediately, it creates a “like factor” around you.It’s the structure that helps create the “like factor”  in your presentationThe best presenters in the world know that presentations are not just a matter of stringing a few slides together. Instead, it’s a series of well-designed and well-choreographed pieces of information. Information that keeps the audience completely engaged as you move from one topic to the other.So how do you get this trio of design, delivery and control?Presenting “Black Belt Presentations”. It’s a series of three books + audio that span a chunky 100+ pages each plus, of course, audio.Book 1: Slide Design and PackagingThis is about creating presentations that are so yummy that the audience is gobsmacked. They want to know how you made your presentation so simple, yet so luscious.And you, of course, learn how you can create designer-presentations—and do it without a massive graphics budget. This part is about creating packaging that makes your presentation stand out from every other presenter.Book 2: Controlling the DeliveryMost of us have some kind of system. It’s called the start-muddle-end. Yes, muddle. Sit back and think of even one presenter who’s really rocked your boots recently? Can you think of that person?If you can, it’s a person with a delivery system. The delivery system we’re going to use is called the 13-Box System. If someone wakes you at 3am, you should be able to get your presentation going—groggily but technically correct.Book 3: Controlling the Event (with premium option)Control sounds like an ugly word. But the lack of control is chaos. And yet control isn’t about hypnotising your audience into submission.Rather it’s about creating an environment that’s right for learning. Once you have control, you have an audience that knows they’re in the hands of a maestro. And they’ll come along happily for the ride.You Don’t Need Fancy StuffWhat you do need is a solid understanding of what makes a presentation extremely powerful. And that gives you a boost to put your best foot forward. And to create a presentation that creates real results for a change.The ‘Black Belt Presentations’ series contains almost 100,000 words and about 400 pages of solid content.
