5.0 out of 5 stars Raise your batting average, March 10, 2006

This review is from: The Exceptional Presenter (Paperback)

Not only is Koegel's book the perfect "how-to" manual for public speakers, Koegel's simple (yet seldom followed) guidelines have been very effective for the sales professionals within my organization. A company may have a great product or service, but they will lose sales unless they can effectively communicate their value proposition. Make every presentation, including marketing presentation count - Koegel's techniques have raised the "batting average" of my firm's sales team. This book is a must read for public speakers, managers AND sales professionals.

If only all self-help books were like this one...

Informative, clear, helpful, short and to the point.

In the past few months since I purchased this book I already used what I learned on numerous occasions, and to great results (read: standing ovation!).

I consider myself a good presenter already, but Mr. Koegel really pointed out some issues that I'm trying to improve so I can become exceptional.

In short, if you speak in public, get this book!

By A Customer

This review is from: The Exceptional Presenter (Paperback)

This is an excellent book especially for people that are new to public speaking. It helps allay the fears with humor and simple, easy-to-follow instructions. I would recommend this book to anyone who might have a presentation to make and is a little nervous or unsure of how they will do.
