This book will not help you tell jokes. It describes how to make your presentations more entertaining. Tom Antion's secrets on room setup and how to open a speech are worth more than the price of the book. Whether you are speaking to a large group or to a small sales meeting, the tips in this book will help you get your point across.

Tom Antion is a marketing genius who teaches speakers how to speak and how to sell themselves. A gifted professional speaker, he shares his years of experience in these pages.

As a professional speaker and the author of 113 books (including revisions and foreign-language editions) and over 500 magazine articles, I highly recommend this book to anyone who has to get their point across to groups. [e-mail].

An excellent book full of immediately useful tips to turn any business presentation into an interesting presention. Trying to put to death the idea that if the presentation isn't boring no one will take it seriously. Tom shows readers that even important topics can benefit by interesting presentations. A must for every business library!

This review is from: Wake 'Em Up! : How to Use Humor & Other Professional Techniques to Create Alarmingly Good Business Presentations (Paperback)

Wow! Tom Antion did it. "Wake 'em Up! is a masterpiece. This is a 'must read' for anyone who speaks before an audience, regardless of the size. His tips will both keep you out of trouble and guide you toward mastering the art of public persuasion. Be careful, if you do what he suggests, you might start getting 'too many' speaking invitations. -Edwin Richard Rigsbee, Professional Speaker
