Business Presentation Should Go Much Further than Slideshows

When you use “presentation” and “business” in the same sentence, most people will automatically think of slideshow presentations, seminars, and focus groups where one individual projects a new idea for discussion and consideration. But presentation in business comes down to so much more than simply giving a presentation. It involves every aspect of your composure that forges others’ perceptions of you. Customer, client, and potential partner or collaboration perception of you and your brand, after all, determines whether people want to buy from you, work for you, or work alongside you. It contributes towards your aesthetic. So, here are a few other areas of presentation that you should focus on in order to see your company flourish to its full potential.


Presentation of Your Commercial Space


Whether you have a brick and mortar store or a tangible office space, it’s essential that it’s pristine. This is where customers are going to meet with you face to face, so you want to ensure that the environment is up to scratch, clean, professional, and comfortable. Bring in an interior designer to show you how to craft the perfect interior for your commercial property. They will have clever tricks to make spaces appear larger, maximise natural light distribution, and keep things easily organisable. Then, get into some deep cleaning. Sure, you might be able to run a hoover around, wipe down surfaces with a cloth, and give the windows a little wipe down yourself. But a thorough, deep clean could do with a professional touch. Of course, you don’t need to fork out for this on a daily or weekly basis if you’re a smaller company. But try to bring in professional cleaners around once a month where possible. Take a look at Floor Polishing Cost, fees for professional window cleaning (inside and out), and upholstery cleaning (for sofas, seats, and curtains that you may have around). If you can afford it, make the investment!




Self-Presentation


Now, let’s focus on the person at the centre of your business: you. Self-presentation can make a profound difference to how people see you as a business leader. You want to come across as confident, competent, and proud of your appearance. This will give people more confidence in your authority. They will be more willing to go along with your proposals and more eager to do business with you. So where do you start? Let’s start with physical changes - these are simpler. Make sure that your hygiene and grooming are top quality. Get your hair done regularly, keep on top of your nails, and smell fresh and clean at all times. Now, for your ensemble. Choose a look and stick with it. It should go alongside your brand aesthetic. If you’re going for a smart and professional approach, stick with formal wear. Suits, matching jacket and skirt combos, polished shoes and smart bags are a good way to go. If you’re on a more casual venture, you can go smart casual. Just make sure that you look good!


These are just a couple of ways to work on your presentation in the business world. So get started today!
