Some very good tips on here.

For god sake don't have each bullet point flicking up at the touch of the keypad, remote, there's nothing worst, trust me - full slides in one hit. It's rare they will read much so keep them minimal. They're be more interested in you...

Start off with a short intro about yourself and what you know about their company / customer base / objectives / ambitions. Thank them for the opportunity, be precise on what you are presenting to them, factual and as clear as you can be with a glimmer of your personality showing through. Let them know you will open up for questions at the end. This will hopefully command their attention. They will already have a couple of questions anyway.

I actually prefer using visual graphics, photos, simple charts - slides not too busy for you to talk around. Insert their company logo. Helps engage the audience and if confident you can showboat a little (keep it scripted tho). Also if you miss anything out nobody will know. Always have notes just in case. It shows you are prepared but you shouldn't really need them by that stage. Check them now and then though just to demonstrate you rarely miss or leave anything to chance.

Practice being flaunt in the garage / in front of people you know and listen to feedback. Take your time but make sure you don't ramble on and keep well within the allotted time frame.

Once presented ask and be prepared for questions, have a couple of questions of your own... challenges of the position, what they need from it in the immediate future, 12 month business plan etc.

If it's an open book presentation I would recommend using 5 things on how you feel you can help improve their business. A one sheet handout sometimes impresses and compliments the presentation. It also leaves a structured overview of you when they come to reflect when you're gone.

Don't bullshit. If you don't know the answer to any question go into quick research / resolve mode i.e. this is one of the areas I intend on quickly exploring within the company, what can you tell me about that?

Good luck, let us know how you get on.

hi mate, good to hear from you. how is rozzi?
 
lots of mention about eye contact and it is so important, but what really separates great presentations is holding that eye contact for a couple of seconds

its harder than it sounds coz your instinct is to look away when someone makes eye contact with you - don't! Hold it and the person feels they've had an individual connection with you in a group situation.

and take your time
