Easy way to prepare for technical presentations

So for all the tech beginners out there here is a small guide as to how to conduct presentations for the general public. This post will be followed by 2 more giving your'l a detailed guide as to how to conduct a great presentation. Some tips are what I've learnt and very few are from the web.

Here goes the list,
1. Identify the purpose of the presentation
Before we prepare for any kind of presentation we need to first understand the purpose of it. It maybe to sell a product, share knowledge or bring awareness. Whatever it is you need to see why you have to do the presentation overall.

2. Know your audience
You can easily figure out this step when you have done the first. Say for example if the presentation is to sell your product to a potential customer then, the company marketing manager and operations manager will be present. Make sure that you know who it is before hand.

3. Create a story
This is common for any kind of presentation irrespective of the type. You need to create a presentation that can be used throughout or at least for a part of it. Make it interesting so that listeners will not be bored and they will listen to your presentation until it ends. Avoid Technical jargon. Know that all listeners will not understand all the technical aspects related to your topic. You need to ensure that there are no technical information and even if you have to put, make sure you explain what it is.

These tips are only for prior preparation for a technical presentation. I will explain other tips in my next post.
