Presentation StoryBoarding Launches New Training Webinars for Powerful Sales Presenting

Online, August 19, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Presentation StoryBoarding, the presentation training firm announces new sales presentation webinars designed to give busy professionals career-boosting skills. With an easy step-by-step approach, entrepreneurs, small business owners and sales professionals can learn how to give powerful and persuasive presentations.

Drawn from field tested techniques, the new webinars provide a hands-on system to tackle fears, improve speaking skills and present ideas with expertise and enthusiasm. The webinars target skill development in visual selling, storytelling and whiteboarding. Founder Thomas Sechehaye teaches these methods to help professionals increase confidence, achieve top results and get to the highest levels in their fields.

"You're much better off being able to connect emotionally with your clients - telling a powerful story and showing a simple whiteboard sketch. This is a no-fail system for sales presenting - even if you're not in sales, aren't charismatic and can't draw a straight line." said Thomas Sechehaye, president and founder of Presentation Story Boarding. "Each webinar is packed with real-world tips so you can stop losing money and start winning results!"

"Whether 'sales' is on your business card or not, these new webinars show you exactly have a powerful emotional connection with your clients - without relying on PowerPoint." added Sechehaye. "This is not only the best presentation training available, it's also the fastest way to blow your competition out of the water."

To confidently and ethically influence others and achieve bottom line results, Sechehaye advises these 3 steps:

• Use a step-by-step blueprint to build a compelling story.
Communication experts agree that story-based presenting is essential to stand out in a crowded marketplace. The fastest method is to use a 'paint-by-numbers' roadmap to plan your business story. With a step-by-step blueprint in hand, planning is as easy as one, two, three.

• Focus on interaction and step away from slides.
Increasingly, world class organizations and military agencies are abandoning slide-only presenting. Audiences tend to be bored by what many people call 'slide craziness.' So if we want to be interactive, add variety with flipcharts, whiteboards, and wall charts. Focus on creating opportunities for an audience to interact with ideas, processes and discussion.

• Simplify with a sketch.
By drawing on a flipchart, whiteboard or napkin, we connect with our audience. A picture is often the easiest way to distill issues, troubleshoot and show processes. Instead of worrying about drawing the perfect picture, ask a better question: "What is the simplest way to show the big idea?"

Questioning assumptions about how to give presentations is a valuable lesson for professionals who present ideas, sell solutions or need to persuade a group. This methodology has proven successful in trainings given to over 11,000 Fortune 500 professionals. The interactive approach has been used at McDonald's, MWR, and SAP.

Benefits for the new 60-minute webinars include: dramatic cost savings, complete flexibility and immediate skill building for new hires and teams. Learning is fast, fun and interactive featuring video clips, discussion and impromptu Q & A. Webinars yield boosts to productivity at dramatic savings: no time out of the office, zero travel costs and instant improvement in communication skills.

The new webinars provide direct access to visual storytelling experts, and are a new addition to the online learning menu for entrepreneurs, executives and sales professionals. In the learning hub, professionals learn business storytelling, effective whiteboarding and visual selling. The system shows to stop presentation fear, and master the most demanding public speaking challenges.

Since 1989, Presentation StoryBoarding's parent company, Hands On Graphics, Inc. has provided premier training services to corporations, government agencies, military agencies and non-profits.
