Whether they present in-person, virtually or in hybrid environments, readers will benefit from the experiences of others and discover how transform their presentations overnight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe book is divided into three sections: building your case, leveraging creativity, and honing your delivery. Each chapter explores a specific presentation mistake—why it happens, why it’s damaging, and includes practical tips on how to correct it. Readers may laugh or cringe at some of these confessions, stories, and observations, but they are all true. (Names of individuals and organizations have been removed or changed to protect client confidentiality.) The solutions will ultimately help readers course-correct to save themselves time, increase their earning potential, reduce stress, and gain greater confidence for their future presentations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNew Research: Based on the author's groundbreaking sales research study on the State of Sale Presentations, conducted in collaboration with professors and researchers at San Diego State University.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSuccessful Speaking Platform: Terri Sjodin is an internationally recognized speaker.
