Presentations
Welcome!
Today, we want to talk about the language of business presentations. Whether you are pitching a new product, updating your team on the latest figures, or introducing yourself to a potential client, it is important to understand how to communicate effectively and professionally. Here are some useful phrases that can help you achieve just that:
1. "Good morning/afternoon/evening, everyone."
This is a standard greeting may seem simple but it’s very important as it shows respect for your audience and sets a friendly tone for your presentation.
Example: "Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you all for coming today."
2. "Let me introduce myself/my team."
This phrase allows you to establish credibility and expertise in your field.
Example: "My name is John Doe and I am the director of sales at XYZ Company. Today, I am here to share with you our latest product updates."
3. "Let's dive right in."
This phrase signals to your audience that you are ready to get started and that their time won't be wasted.
Example: "Thank you all for being here. Let's dive right in and talk about our sales figures from last quarter."
4. "As you can see/As shown on this slide..."
This phrase helps guide your audience through your presentation and clearly highlights important information.
Example: "As you can see on this slide, our revenue has increased by 15% since last year."
5. "In conclusion/To sum up..."
These phrases signal the end of your presentation and provide a clear summary of your key points.
Example: "In conclusion, our new product line is projected to increase revenue by 20% in the next year. Thank you for your time and attention today."
