Three common ways to have a presentation

This section will have an in-depth look at the different ways sales representatives can give a presentation to their clients and the benefits of each of them. These include:

  • Demonstrations – A demonstration is when a sales representative will show the client their product or service live, demonstrating the benefits of the product and how it will help the customer’s pain points
  • Video Presentations – A video presentation can increase conversion rates by 34%, shared by Wyzowl, as it is a great way to show customers how a product or service will help their pain points
  • PowerPoint Presentation – This is a common type of presentation where a sales representative can explain their product or service in a professional confident manner with some visual representations

Types of sales presentations

Four invaluable sales presentation types are:

  • Informative memorized presentations
  • Persuasive selling presentations
  • Problem-solving presentations
  • Reminder presentation
Types of sales presentations

Let us take a deep dive into each of these presentation methods.

Informative memorized presentation

A memorized informative presentation is when a sales representative will present to customers with a fully memorized presentation. This means the sales representative will have planned beforehand exactly what they were going to say and stick to the script that they have given themselves. This will be focused on being informative for the customers telling them details about your product or service. This type of sales presentation will benefit sales representatives as it can help avoid mistakes during the presentation, keeping a more organised approach. However, this approach is not as personal as other approaches and can result in customers becoming disengaged.  

Persuasive approach

This approach to a presentation is semi-structured, where sales representatives will have the goal of persuading the customer to purchase their product or service to help their pain points, attempting to influence the prospect’s beliefs and attitudes. This is a semi-structured presentation technique that will require a high level of training for sales representatives to be effective. If sales representatives do not plan this presentation and are not trained, there is a risk of them making prospects feel uncomfortable and put off by an approach that seems “sales-like”. However, a good level of training and planning in this method can be a very effective way of influencing a prospect to purchase your product or service.

Problem-solving presentation

A problem-solving presentation is when a sales representative takes the approach that they are there to help solve their customer’s problem. They will put a big emphasis on the customer’s pain points and how they can be solved. This presentation method will help your business build a long-term customer relationship and drive your sales.

Reminder presentation strategy

A reminder presentation strategy is when a business has a presentation for repeat customers to remind them of the products or services that they are offering. This is a great way for businesses to keep customers engaged with their business and aware of the product or services they are offering. As a result, the likelihood of repeat customers will increase as well as your long-term customer relationships. This will create Up-selling and cross-selling opportunities to increase your revenue and grow your business.

How a sales representative can give a great presentation

Follow these essential tips to give so your team members can give the best sales presentation possible and win more sales:

How sales reps can give a good sales presentation

Keep the presentation a good length – You do not want your presentation to be too long for the client where they may lose interest, but too short where they will not get all the information they need. Your presentation should:

  • Find a good length for your presentation where you are able to tell your customers good information about how your product or service will help their problem, getting them intrigued but not going on for too long where they will disengage.

Show your confidence through body language – Body language is a very important part of a sales presentation as it can make or break a deal. If your sales representatives have confident body language with a friendly tone, it is much more likely that your sale will be successful.

Understand your customers – Before the presentation starts you must have a good understanding of your customers. It is crucial to know your customer’s pain points, needs and requirements to give the best presentation possible. This will make it more likely that your customers will respond well to your presentation, and you will win more sales.

  • You can find more information about customers through primary and secondary research. Primary research can include interviews and questionnaires while secondary research can include market reports and previous customer experiences.

Use storytelling techniques – Storytelling in sales can be a very useful method for team members to win more deals. This is a great way to keep the customers engaged while demonstrating the value that your product or service has brought previous clients in similar situations to new customers.
