Change the presentation to appeal to the audience in the first seven seconds! 😱

Many people often start by saying hello + telling a topic.

Which method is considered very, very normal.

But... may not convince people that

"Why does he have to listen to us?"

So I took the technique of writing this article on the web.

Let's start with Hook or "attention draw."

Because Hook is the first sentence that makes people interested, suspicious, or unexpected.

Hook Type 1: Questions (Question)

Emphasis on encouraging listeners to follow and be more interested than ordinary sentences.

Such as

Asking for show hands (ask to raise hands)

Yes or No Questions (Yes or No Answer Questions)

Rhetorical questions (questions that do not need answers)

Sentence example

Can you imagine what it would be like if...?

(Can you imagine what it would be like if...?)

How many of you get so frustrated every time you have to give a presentational?

(Is there anyone who is discouraged everywhere for presenting?)

Hook Type 2: Fact / Statistics

It opens a sentence with interesting or shocking facts, figures, or statistics.

Such as

"1 out of 3 people sitting in this audience will be diagnosed with some type of cancer, and one out of four will die because of it."

(A third of the people sitting here will detect cancer, and a quarter will die of it.)

- Jorge Soto.

Hook Type 3: Quote (Quote)

Choose a beautiful quote to open, unless you don't have to think about it yourself.

It also enhances Credibility.

Such as

If we want to present a social project or CSR,

Henry Ford once said, "A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business."

And if you read here and wait for another example,

Comment "Hook." I'll send you more presenter links.

(Would like to share it all, but the team told me enough)
