How To Conduct A Presentation & Getting The Point Across

That gives a clearer picture, thanks. Why on earth was that particular guy giving the presentation when his skills were so obviously inadequate to the task?

Sorry for my late response but funny myLot must be cleaning house I just received the notification of you reply of one month ago. But yes, as it turns out the presenter was being question, apparently for sometime now, after my report it turns out he was transferred to a new area, where I understand he will be getting further training.. So I suppose this will help him as it did save his job, as on flip side he could have been fired. Let's just hope it does him some good so he can remain at his job. Thanks for dropping by.

There is a time period between November 15 through end of December that Medicare members can sign up for supplemental insurance. After that they must wait until next year. So the idea of the presenter was to make sure the members learned all the benefits of the program he was trying to get them to sign up for. Instead he allowed the great many members to discuss their bad experiences with providers way too long in the meeting that he truly never got across what the benefits they would gain. Most members there basically were there socializing and eating all the food. So not a single person signed up and or even received the benefits they could gain from it. Not one member even signed up to get more information. I believe his strategy was to gain their trust first but did not know when to cut them off so basically if he does this in all his upcoming meetings the company will never gain anything from it. See he should have explained the program in it's entirety and then taken questions after so this way the members would not drifted off topic so many times as they did. Even I was sitting there oblivious of the program as it made it difficult later to answer some of the rating questions as how he presented certain points as he never go to them. Hope this explanation helps.

Careful and organized planning is definitely the key. Unfortunately at that meeting the only thing that was carefully planned was the fruits and veggie trays. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and I stayed there the long hours it took to complete the full evaluation. I was very objective but he proved his skills badly. He was transferred to the in office for further training. Which maybe to him was a kick but shame if he feels this way as he certainly appeared to be a very clear and concise speaker, just lacked in the key areas of the presentation. Happy New Year megamatt, I wish you a very healthy and prosperous year!

You are right he should have presented all the key points of his product. This I reported on my assignment as he had no direction in the presentation. When he started the program he should have immediately said I will have time after the presentation to allow for all types of questions. This way all the members who had all their questions answer during the presentation would not have allowed the others to be irritated. Thanks for stopping by.

This would have been so helpful for this guy to have done, I suppose he has a great deal to learn when it comes to presentations and time management. At any rate he did not rate too well with the company. It was one rating that I was no problem doing as he does have lots to learn. Whether the company is at their wits end with him, is another story.. Unfortunate for him as I understood he has been at for 15 years. You would think that his objective would be to get to the point.

Oh yes I agree too much at one time confuses people too, and I agree he should have given the members handbooks for full details and he didn't obviously he has a lot to learn, but the reason I was there was to rate him and apparently the company feels he is not doing a good job, I turned in my report and unfortunately I had to agree with his company.

Apparently the company has had a lot of problems with this presenter as that is why they send me undercover so that I could bring back the full reporting. Unfortunately the company is right and hopefully he will get further trained. But from what it sounded like they are at their wits end.

I have to admit if I was shopping for the insurance I certainly did not learn a great deal, as too many stories about their personal lives took place and not really the subject at hand. Pity though as so many of the members could have used the plan, but what can we say when the presenter is not organized and did not set certain guidelines.

Oh I too agree, but this presenter was there to present why these members should sign up for the plan or or switch what they already have. So way too many personal experiences were being expressed and not the matter proposed at hand. I certainly would have been patient but allowed perhaps sometime after the presentation to touch on certain questions. As if I were going to be a potential customer I did not learn anything of the benefits of this insurance. This is the reason why someone like me is sent to grade them undercover. I sat there patiently but then I am not the one who needed the insurance so they would not have gained from me. I looked at some of the members that were there to sign up for the program who left with blank gazed looks on their face and in fact several were complaining on how late it was getting. So my thinking is best to present and allow for questions later this way anyone who is interested can stay, while the others do not leave disgruntle.

This presenter in my opinion started off on the wrong foot as immediately he said he was very engaging so if at any time someone had questions by all means interrupt him. Oh gosh wrong mistake as a great many of the senior went on to ask a question and it involved explaining the entire story first. It sounded like they wanted the entire audience to know exactly what transpired from the moment the got out of bed. As the majority of what they were explaining prior to asking their question had nothing to do with the topic at hand and some even lost their train of thought while speaking. Ugh I could not wait until it was over, and being that I was rating the presenter unbeknown to him there was no way I could leave and or let on that I was doing such. Funny though he handed each persona a note pad and paper so they could take notes, if only if had included that they could write down their questions and speak after the presentation he would have been done on time.
