How to make sure people remember your presentation – end with a bang!

When you close your presentation you have to leave no doubt in the audience’s mind what you want them to do and how it will benefit them.

It sounds easy but in our experience it’s the weakest part of most presentations.

Here are our 4 tips on ending with a bang!

Tip 1: If you’re speaking for 10 minutes which is an ideal length – the ending should take about 20% or 2 minutes.

Tip 2: The most important thing is to recap on your core message. That’s the message you want your audience to absorb, remember and tell others. Can you express it in a memorable way? Is there a story to tell? Is there a catchy phrase for them to tell others?

Tip 3: Remind them of your purpose again. If they follow your recommendations they will achieve their objectives.

Tip 4: Finally, raise your volume, your passion, your conviction, put in a call to action. What do you want the audience to do when they leave the room? Make it clear, direct and unambiguous.

If you follow our 4 tips, you will have helped your audience remember your presentation and they’ll be more likely to take action on it.
