Get Their Attention With A Laser Pointer Pen
As part of my job, I give sales presentations to clients and prospective clients at least three or four times a week. I’ve pretty much got the pitch down pat, and have a fantastic set of PowerPoint slides to serve as visual aids during my speech. I’ve noticed that I frequently get bogged down trying to single out a particular graphic or block of text on my slides. This seriously throws off my rhythm and makes me look like an amateur. I was able to solve this problem by purchasing a laser pointer pen.
I’d had many opportunities to see laser pointer pens in action before, but I never thought that I would need one myself someday. I just figured that this type of thing was more of a neat gadget than a useful tool. But after talking to other sales associates about the problems I was having with my PowerPoint slides, they all said that a laser pointer pen was the answer I was looking for. In fact, I was a bit surprised to learn that I was pretty much the only person in my entire department that didn’t use one regularly.
Prior to purchasing a laser pointer pen, I had to decide what kind I wanted. I had no idea that there were so many different types available, so I was unprepared when I first out checked laser pointer pens on the Internet. For example, some models utilize traditional red beams, while newer ones incorporate green beams. Many of today’s laser pointer pens are multi-functional and come with additional features such as a flashlight or PDA stylus capabilities. I had to decide if I wanted all these things in my laser pointer pen or if I could just make do with a basic model. The prices I saw were of course dependent on the number and types of features included, and with some laser pointer pens costing several hundred dollars. This was something I had to think about carefully.
In the end, I decided to start with a basic laser pointer pen that cost less than $20. I figured that I could always upgrade at a later time if absolutely necessary. So far, my brand new laser pointer pen has been working flawlessly. My sales pitches run a lot more smoothly and I believe I give off a much more professional image now that I use my laser pointer pen to highlight slides. My clients have noticed the change and have given me some positive feedback and now I recommend this solution to all the new associates that come into my department.
If you’re having trouble attracting your audience’s attention to particular visual aids during presentations or lectures, I suggest you try out a laser pointer pen too. You might be surprised at how much easier things are when you have one of these handy tools at your disposal.
