Sales Presentation Methods
Three methods we’ll be focusing on:
Memorized
Sales Engineer does not attempt to determine prospect’s needs
Assumes that prospect needs can be stimulated by direct
exposure to the product
Formula
Based on the assumption that similar prospects in similar
situations can be approached with similar presentations
Problem-Solution
Sales Engineer develops a detailed analysis of a prospect’s needs
over a number of sales calls, then presents a detailed solution.

Keys to Power Presentations
(adapted from SalesDoctors magazine)
• Begin Strong - first critical seconds
• Have ONE theme
• Use simple action-oriented language
– E - enthusiasm and energy. Be alive and vital when you present.
– A - articulate your message. Clarity is essential.
– S - simple, short and to the point. Keep it short and sweet.
– Y - your audience - focus on them.
• End with emotion - hope, pride, love, profit. Paint a word picture.
Remember voice inflection accounts for 37%, appearance 55%, and
what you actually say 8% of our message that is received.
16
More Keys
1. Act excited and eager to share information. Be passionate.
2. Use evidence and research to call for action. Know what people might
ask.
3. Be animated while being yourself.
4. Be aware of your hands and gestures. Be natural and graceful.
5. Vary your voice pattern. Uses pauses to add drama, suspense, make a
point.
6. Keep your posture straight and natural.
7. Know your audience. This includes appearance.
8. Relate to your audience with your eyes. Look long enough to
complete a thought.
9. Be organized and prepared.
10.Know how to answer questions and objections. But never let them see
you sweat.
Believe in yourself, your product, and what you are saying.
17
The Value Hierarchy is the same as the need

18
Remember to use effective questions
• “What do you mean by “ideal”?
• “Can you explain that a little more?”
• “What are you looking for?”
• “Why is that important to you?”
• “How will that affect your operations?”
• “What dissatisfies you about your current products?”
• “Is there anything else I need to know before I begin
telling you about my….?”
