F2F Class Notes 25th May (Lina)

My first step

I gave a speech to 40 persons which is the first time I faced so many clients to give a presentation. Before that, I always sat behind my sales colleagues and saw them sell our ideas and strategy at the stage. But this time, I stepped out of my comfort zone and sell my ideas by myself. I know a method said that if you are going to give a 2 hours speech, you have to prepare for 200 hours. So I rehearsed it again and again at home and made my wife and dog be my client. I thought I would be very nervous at that time, but in actuality, I was totally relaxed because I know what I should say in the next second which I rehearsed at least 10times. I was praised by a client director and she also sent a email to thank us, especially me. She said I was the best among today’s agencies, and what I said was her most interesting. I think it is a best first step for me and I will try my best to give wonderful speeches as possible I can.
