21 Ways Salespeople Lose Their Buyer's Interest [SlideShare]

You might think that a sales rep walking out of a conference room smiling just gave the perfect presentation and closed the deal.

But what if I told you the rep actually gave the worst presentation of his life? It was so bad, in fact, that he walked out halfway through laughing at himself because two-thirds of the audience fell asleep during slide #10 of 100.

The art of a great presentation is tough to master. But what about giving a bad, soul-crushingly boring presentation? That’s something any of us can do. Maybe you took 15 minutes to get through the introduction. Or perhaps you put a small essay on every single slide so your audience was forced to read tiny text.
