Demonstrations are simple. All you do is pick a member from the audience and have them come up and simply say: “I am going to show you how…”
EXAMPLE: Factory Safety Presentation
(You and the audience member): I am going to demonstrate the correct warm-up procedures that you should do before every shift to make sure you do not hurt yourself when lifting heavy boxes. These warm ups are quick and easy and will warm up your muscles and lower the risk of on-the-job injuries. [Demonstrate with the audience member]
Demonstrations don’t always have to be one on one. Here is another cool example:
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
- Which method do you think will be more beneficial? One on One, or Group?
- Do you think that the method should be determined based on what the presentation is about?

Depending on how well you work as an individual, one on ones or group demonstrations differ.
ReplyDeleteSome people are better with one on ones and some people rather a group because of the different atmosphere.
I personally like the group setting more mainly because everyones different, therefore - It would be easier to prove my point and engage in conversations to help my demonstration.
I believe that demonstrations can either make or break your presentation. Some demonstrations I've seen were really mundane, pointless, and did not contribute at all to what "The Promise" was at the beginning of the presentation, so it really dragged on and felt like a waste of time.
ReplyDeleteHowever, in other presentations it was really effective! I would have never been sold to some products if there was no demonstration for it first.
