It is important to remember that when preparing a presentation or explaining a product to a client, we need basic capital to prepare it to be more effective.The things that need to be considered in order to improve communication skills to make them more effective include:

a.Objective

Hal pertama yang diperhatikan adalah mengetahui mengenai audiens yang dihadapi. Memahami audiens menjadi hal yang penting, untuk diketahui karena pastilah konten komunikasi dengan staff akan berbeda apabila berkomunikasi dengan Direktur. Setelah kita lebih dulu memahami audiens, sehingga memudahkan kita dapat menyusun konten komunikasi yang pas.

b.Content

After identifying the audience.Next we discuss content.Content may be the main thing in a presentation.However, the content still contains things that speakers need to pay attention to.Content consists of 3 components: Opening, Body Content and Closing.Opening is very important.This is because the audience will judge whether or not the speaker deserves attention, as seen from the first 7 seconds of opening a presentation.So opening becomes important.Use unique facts when opening a presentation, so that the audience remains curious about the body content that will be discussed.Now, we move on to the body content.Body content requires packaging in such a way that interaction occurs between the audience and the speaker.So that there is two-way interaction during the presentation.In the closing section, we need good closing words so that the audience can remember them.Closing can be packaged through quotes that are interesting and appropriate to the content.Choosing words for closing is very important, so that the audience can remember the contents of our presentation.So it is necessary to choose the right words that are easy to remember.

c.Vocal

Suara dan intonasi menjadi hal yang mungkin dianggap sepele oleh mayoritas orang. Namun nyatanya menurut penelitian, body language dan suara mendapat persentasi yang cukup banyak dalam meng attract perhatian audiens. Menurut penelitian Mehrabian Study (1967 – 1972) berpendapat bahwa body language dan how you say it memiliki persentase hampir 80% menjadi bagian yang penting dalam sebuah presentasi. Hanya sebanyak 7% kita berkomunikasi berdasarkan words, 39% berdasarkan suara dan intonasi dan 55% berdasarkan perilaku non verbal. Maka, intonasi, vocal sampai body language sangat perlu diperhatikan dan menjadi hal yang penting dalam presentasi.
