How can you control your nervousness during presentation about new products before new consumers?

All you have to do is admit that you are a bit nervous speaking to your consumers. When you do this, the consumers will be more forgiving if your nervousness shows up later on. More importantly you will feel more relaxed now that they are not expecting a world-class presentation. Imagine their surprise when you gave them the best presentation ever despite your nervousness.

Redefine your consumers generally means changing how you see your consumers. Instead of seeing them as lecturers who are evaluating you, maybe you can convince yourself that they are all fellow students who are in queue to present after you. They are all equally nervous so there is no reason why you should be too.Or perceive them as long lost friends that you haven’t seen for10 years. This way you can maintain eye contact trying to figure out where you have seen him before. To the consumers, they will see a very friendly and personal presentation.

Imagine a presentation with beautiful PowerPoint slides and even more impressive notes given to each of your consumers members. Half of the time, their eyes will not be on you. They will read through the notes and your fancy slides. This will help a lot as you can then speak to the consumers who are not looking at you. When they look at you, you just change your focus to other consumers who are not looking. Giving a speech to consumers who are not looking at you is always easier.

This is another trick I encourage you to try. Once I “accidentally” dropped my products on the floor, and while picking them up, I warned the consumers that the presentation will be more confusing after this. I heard some laughter from the floor. The idea is to gain control of your consumers. If you can make them laugh and be more interactive with you, your presentation will have that casual feel to it which will make it more memorable than others. 

Just like blogging, everyone can copy an article and paste it onto their blog. However, consumers read blogs not only to know about things happening but to know what that particular blogger’s opinion is on the matter.

This is the most important tips of all. Have fun with the crowd consumers. Try new ways to give the best presentation to your consumers. Maybe experiment with a new funny approach, or walk around the hall instead of being static on the stage. Have fun with experimenting on human behavior and you will see that public speaking is not that bad after all.
