Commodity Trading - Is This Stuff Blocking Your Way To Trading Success? - PART 4
The commodity futures contract and option markets are highly leveraged. But it doesn’t have to be this way! It all depends on how much money you have in the account and how small you trade. The exchanges suggest the minimum margins for each position. You could make it 100% margin if you wanted. You could put up $70,000 fo

Don't be guilty of wasting people's time. Outline the issues and get straight into the meat of the presentation.

The key question is - what is the purpose of your presentation? What do you want to achieve?

Do you want to inform, persuade, inspire, entertain?

Make the context crystal clear. Spend a long time considering your subject and gathering appropriate material that will punch your key messages home. How long will you be speaking for? What is your place on the speaking programme? Do you have to tie in with someone else's contribution? Consider the number of people in the audience and the auditorium itself - who'll be there - and who they are? Could they have an impact on your speaking career?

What visual aids equipment will be there? (or do you want to be there)? Know how to use it properly - and carry spares! Ensure that you know the requirments of the auditorium. Agree them up front with the organizers.

Get the sequence of your talk right. Would an agenda help? You will need a logical and 'signposted' structure with a definite conclusion (do not leave it in the air!). Have a strong opening with impact, something that the audience will remember long after. Similarly, the ending should be memorable. Research shows that your audience will probably remember the beginning and the ending if they are delivered convincingly.

Establish your audience's level of knowledge by research before the event. The army has an interesting saying: Ascertain as much as you can about your audience and the auditorium.' Ensure you adapt your presentation to their level of knowledge and interest.

Check for rapport with your audience. Are they nodding with agreement. Win them over. Smile, talk of 'we/us', and never talk down or patronize your audience.

Keep them awake. It's better without a written script (unless you have to). Aim for variety of voice - word pictures can be highlighted within a long talk - visual aids, maybe (with pie charts rather than tables) or break it up with a 2-man ac

If you want your audience to absorb your message, repeat it. And I don’t mean two or three times, either. Current wisdom says it can take nine or more repetitions for a message to sink in.

Many website promotion articles talk about using e-books to promote your site. In fact this is a great tool to have available and use when you start a web based business. But how do you go about publishing your own e-book?

Don't take the vendor's word that repairs have been made. If the vendor agrees to make repairs, have your inspector verify the work's been done before closing. Ditto for any other claims made by the seller; verify them independently.
