hi, since the question was on presentation skills, then the following should help.

1) Prepare extensively so that answers are available on each and every point of the presentation. I assume the presentation will have the following:  need for the product, swot analysis,consumer behaviour,  time of introduction into the market, competitors, pricing, distribution, marketing, logistics, finance for all these and break even analysis.

2) When a question is asked, do not frown. Be pleasant and do not interrupt until the question is completed, even if youknow the answer beforehand. If you do not know the answer, say 'i'm sorry, but will have to get back to you on this".

3) Smart dressing is a big plus

4) Be confident. practice delivering the presentation2-3 times, so you know which slide comes where and what you need to speak.

5) Keep notes handy, especially statistics and figures which you are not expected to remember.

6) Avoid over gesticulation with your hands. Use a pointer if required and

7) Keep a glass of water handy. A starined or a dry throat can be a hinderance.

 

Thank you.

Some great answers.  The only other2 things I would add are Passion and Belief.  Believe in the product you are promoting, let your passion for what you are promoting come through, and you can virtually guarantee a successful outcome!

  • Good Communication Skills is vital,
  • Full Product knowledge, you are going to present.
  • Meeting etiquette (i.e. professional get up, be on time, silent mobile, etc.).
  • Confidence and trust yourself that you can do it (if someone else can do, you can do).
