How to Give a 10 Minute Presentation When You Need 40 to Do the Job Posted By : The Voice Lady- About: public speaking

While most novice speakers would probably prefer a 10-minute presentation to one lasting 40 or 50 minutes, many speakers find the 10-minute presentation harder to make than a longer version. If you are making a sales presentation on a new brand of coffee, for instance, that has only recently come on the market, the 10-minute presentation is not the time to talk about the history of java. If, on the other hand, you are describing the phenomenal success your coffee has had in a very limited time frame, then the history of your brand might be extremely influential in your ability to close the deal. Another piece of advice in making the 10-minute presentation is to stick to your script. Once off your target, you will lose precious time, so avoid adding that extra thought that comes to mind as you are speaking.
