Best Practices
Back to Top
The following are the best practices in preparing this assignment.
- Cover Page – Include the customer name for which you have prepared the presentation, your name and company /product name, and date.
- Table of Contents – List the sections of your assignment and the pages on which they are located.
- Format – Use a header on your paper. This will indicate you are introducing your paper.
- Body of Your Report – Use a header titled with the name of your project. Example: “Sales Presentation to Hotel X”. Each assignment should include the following sections:
- Prospecting – description of the customer (an organization, not an individual) and your company product or service. Some examples might be:
- Customer is a construction firm and you sell heavy equipment
- Customer is national chartered accountants firm and you sell office supplies or photocopiers
- Customer is restaurant and you sell restaurant kitchen equipment
- Customer is small retail grocery chain and you sell a line of frozen prepared organic entrees
- Pre-Approach – include why you believe that your customer is a qualified prospect, some background information on the customer that you will use to build rapport and understand their needs, company information and data about their products and services. Your customer can be real or fictional.
- Approach – discuss how you will get your prospect’s attention in the call and establish rapport– plan some ice breaker comments and anticipate “the problem,” i.e. customer needs. What is your presentation call objective? How will you verify whether the anticipated “problem” is correct?
- Presentation – include 4 or 5 key points about your product/service that will address the customer’s needs, and effectively describe their features, advantages and benefits as directly related to customers’ needs. You may choose to use some of the following methods to present your solution: Demonstrations, customer testimonials, displays, samples and prospect participation. For this section of your assignment, you will include the actual presentation sales aids that you will use accompanied by a script.
- Handling Objections – anticipate objections that may come up and describe how you will handle them. Some objections may relate to competition, price, product function, terms of the sale, etc.
- Closing – plan to ask for the order- include a plan that describes how you will ask and what you will ask for.
- Follow Up – include a plan of follow up after the call.
- Conclusion – Summarizing is similar to paraphrasing bur presents the gist of the material in fewer words than the original. An effective summary identifies the main ideas and major support points from the body of your assignment. Minor details are left out. Summarize the benefits of the ideas presented and how the presentation was effective.
- Work Cited – Use the citation format as specified in the Syllabus.
