Using the six tools, you’ll learnhow to give powerfullypersuasive presentations…Even when you don’t havemuch time to prepare
Here are the 6 tools Romney used to
win the first debate
1
Romney looked smarter and more alert than Obama
Romney exuded confidence whereas Obama looked tired
When giving a speech/presentation,make sure you look
smart and confident…
Research shows that the better-dressed and the smarter you look,
the more persuasive you’ll be…
2
Romney had a clear structure through numbering his points
“Number 1…(followed by point)Number 2…Number 3…”
It made his arguments easy to understand and follow
When giving impromptu speeches,
use numbering to make your structure clear…
3
Romney made great use rhetorical questions
Rhetorical questions keep your audience members engaged
“Well, why lower the rates? Because…”
By voicing out loud the questions your audience may have, you build
rapport with them
Rhetorical questions also give your speeches and presentation an
easy to follow structure
When giving impromptu speeches,
use rhetorical questions to engage your audience and build rapport with them…
4
Romney told humorous stories and used analogies to make his point
“I know you and your running mate keep saying that…but it’s just not the case.
I got five boys. I’m used to people saying something that’s not always true but keep on repeating it and ultimately hoping I’ll believe it. That is not the case!” - Romney
Romney used the example of his five kids to make a humorous point that Obama was like a child who wasn’t
telling the truth…
When giving speeches &
presentations, use humor, stories and analogies to make your points memorable…
5
Prepare a Power Phrase in advance to knock-out your
opponent…
“You are entitled to your own house and your own plane, but not
your own facts” - Romney
Romney had no-doubt coined the impressive line before the debate and
was just waiting for the right opportunity to use it
Thus, even though the line was coined before the debate, it sounded like an impressive and spontaneous remark
If you know you’re going to be
debating, prepare your Power Phrase in advance…
6
Romney kept it conversational. He used conversational phrases
instead of using overly-complicated terminology
“Throw all these studies out there…”
“But let’s get to the bottom line…”- Romney
When giving presentations and
speeches, keep your language conversational…Sound human!
