About this listen
Most people want to improve their presentations but don't know where to start—and that can be costly. That is where this book can help. Terri Sjodin has done the heavy lifting and eliminated the guesswork by providing specific solutions to guide you through the process of crafting an improved presentation to use at your very next meeting (in-person, virtually or in a hybrid environment). She shares the results of her multi-year research project—which identified twelve common sales presentation mistakes that may cost an individual the win, the deal, or the opportunity—and shows how to avoid them. Why focus on mistakes? Because you can't improve what you don't recognize as a problem.
Presentation Ready is divided into three sections: building your case, leveraging creativity, and honing your delivery. Each chapter explores a specific presentation mistake—why it happens, why it's damaging, and includes practical tips on how to correct it. You may laugh or cringe at some of these confessions, stories, and observations, but they are all true. The solutions will ultimately help you course-correct to save yourself time, increase your earning potential, reduce stress, and gain greater confidence for future presentations. You will learn vicariously through the experiences of others, and use that edge to transform your presentations almost overnight.

Do you ride the escalator or do you take the stairs? No matter how you define success, it always requires one thing: self-discipline. But as popular speaker and strategist Rory Vaden explains, we live in an "escalator world", one that's filled with shortcuts, quick fixes, and distractions that make it all too easy to slide into procrastination, compromise, and mediocrity. What seems like an easier path is really much harder in the end - and, most important, it won't take you where you want to go.

Every salesperson must endure many NOs in order to get to YES. Objections don't care or consider: who you are, what you sell, how you sell, or if you are new to sales or a veteran. For as long as salespeople have been asking buyers to make commitments, buyers have been throwing out objections. And, for as long as buyers have been saying no, salespeople have yearned for the secrets to getting past those NOs.

Every Entrepreneur Needs This Book
I’ve read all of Terri’s books now, and while all are uniquely valuable with ROI for the time you invest with them, this one is game changing. Literally, I’m changing all of my sales processes to fit this model. This book is based on recent research and once you know it, you can’t unsee the issues. What I love most, is that the reflective feedback consistently used in the book, in people’s own words, forced me to see the mistakes I’ve been making, and helps me “help myself” by teaching me to be my own coach and critique. Thank you Terri! More!
