ASKED QUESTIONS
What
do you mean when you say that all Presentation Skills and Speech Coaching
programs are for a lifetime?
Anyone who
completes any of our Presentation Skills workshops or one-on-one Speech
Coaching sessions is encouraged to send Dave a video or DVD of an upcoming
(or past) presentation. He conducts a positive telephone critique to help
his clients, step by step, as they continue to develop their speaking
skills.
How
long are Dave's speeches and presentations?
Dave's presentations
are designed to fit the specific available time ranging from 30 minutes
to three days. Last minute schedule changes . . . Dave will adjust his
presentation to meet the needs of you and your people.
Do you have
any guarantees?
All of our Presentation
Skills workshops and one-on-one consultation programs are guaranteed.
Everyone gets better or you don't pay for that person . . . that is our
guarantee.
What is Dave's
background?
Dave is the youngest district
manager, regional manager, division manager, national sales manager and
vice president of marketing in the history of two Fortune 500 companies. Dave has earned the right to talk about it . . . he has done it all.
How
does Dave customize his presentations?
Dave talks to your
managers on the telephone, works with salespeople in the field, and talks
with your customers to learn about the challenges and opportunities in
your company and your industry. He arrives at your meeting early to mingle
with your people and attends educational sessions when scheduling permits.
How
can Dave provide extra value for our meeting?
Many groups engage
Dave for a keynote address and also request that he conduct a breakout
session or seminar. Not only do you get a fee reduction on the second
presentation, but your travel expense reimbursements are greatly minimized. Dave will also moderate panel discussions, facilitate a strategic business
discussion, or MC any or all of your program.
How
does Dave handle foreign language translations?
Presentations to
a non-English speaking audience must be carefully designed, prepared,
and executed. Dave studies all aspects of the culture, arrives a day or
two early to rehearse with translators, and punctuates his presentation
with words and phrases from the native language.
How
does Dave handle expenses?
Once a meeting has
been booked and confirmed, Dave will contact other clients in nearby cities
or countries to attempt to schedule other consultations and workshops. All airfare will be pro-rated fairly between clients when possible.
