[0:05]Welcome to the story message. Today we begin with the introduction. We mentioned earlier that a presentation is a gift of information for the audience. Different audiences have different needs. We need to choose our information carefully. Make sure you have the right information for the right audience. Let's look at three introductions to three different audiences.
[0:35]Hello. My name is Justin Martin. A wise man once said, the pen is mightier than the sword. But which pen? This is a pen and this is a pen. My purpose today is to help you choose between this and this. To help you choose, we will compare the features and benefits, demonstrate a special application for students, and compare the cost performance advantage. Let's start off by comparing the features. There are two main features.
[1:15]Good afternoon. This chart shows sales for our standard one-color pen. As you can see, sales have steadily fallen. What can we do to change this trend? Today, I'd like to introduce our solution: a new two-color pen. This presentation will help us regain lost sales within the past year. We'll start with three questions. Why two colors? When to launch? How to advertise? Let's begin with, why two colors?
[1:56]Good afternoon. My name is Dr. Roberts. Today we're going to be looking at analog and digital technologies. Now, after today's speech, I hope you'll appreciate the unique points of both technologies. Now, to help us get a clearer idea of the differences between both technologies, we're going to be comparing two simple tools, a pen and a keyboard. Now, first, let's take a look at freedom and flexibility of expression. Then second, speed. And third, standardization and uniformity. Now, let's first look at freedom and flexibility of expression. Today, we looked at the most important moment of a presentation: the introduction. The introduction can determine the success or failure of your presentation. If you fail to catch your audience's attention, your presentation will probably fail. If you succeed in getting your audience's attention, your presentation has a chance for success. And today we also saw that different audiences need different introductions. Remembering these points will help your introductions be successful.
