Presented by Sharon Ferrier, Persuasive Presentations

 

Think about how many times you have been bored silly by a PowerPoint presentation…. Killed slowly and silently… bullet point by bullet point.

Anyone who wants to persuade and influence using PowerPoint.
Please note: This session focuses mainly on delivery – an understanding of the software is assumed

 

Why attend
Poor PowerPoint presentations have been blamed for everything from putting students to sleep to causing the NASA space shuttle disaster.
PowerPoint is essentially a presentation tool, and any tool in the wrong hands can be dangerous.

This includes:

  • The 10 deadly PowerPoint sins & how to overcome them
  • Presentation design
  • New research on the use of PowerPoint
  • Equipment and room set up
  • How to increase your personal impact with PowerPoint
  • Tips and tricks for PowerPoint use
  • PowerPoint overhaul

Networking Smart for Results

Presented by Ric Willmot, The Strategist

 

Every business person networks. Few achieve the results they should. It's not about socialising and handing out business cards.
In this webinar with “The Strategist” -- Ric Willmot, you will learn his pragmatic, commonsense approach to building your business and your brand through intelligent networking.


Ric Willmot is a global consultant who has built his seven-figure business in spite of the fact he is a social introvert. 100% of his business comes from recommendations, referrals, introductions and repeat business.


He will explain why and how introverts can get better results from their networking efforts. He will share his opinions on utilising networking as a genuine business tool to build your business rather than just making friends; and how working with a colleague enables you to divide and conquer with ease and success.


1. Develop a plan and be effective with your time and approach
2. Understand and utilise the linkages between 'giving' and 'getting'
3. Create memorable impressions and develop relationships
4. Make networking a process for building your business investment

Marketing on a Shoestring

Presented by Ashley Tulley - Ignite

 

 

Lawyers believe that 90% of their work comes from ‘word of mouth’ referrals, yet less than 3% of firms have a structured ‘word of mouth’ referral system set up. Most firms spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on events, brochures and web pages, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of dollars of time poured into tender document production.

 

The purpose of this presentation is to give firms an overview of how simple it is to design, ratify, implement and monitor a referral system that works. It also covers off a four point plan on “Alliance Marketing” with other professionals who share a similar client base.

 

The concepts are based on face to face interaction – and a unique points system that will take the highs and lows out of Business Development. If you can get referrers to become your “zero-cost sales-force”, then your marketing can be done on a shoestring.
