SO HOW DOES IT WORK?
The whole Programme is highly experiential. Over the 2 days you’ll do 11 presentations, finishing with an 8-minute business presentation on the second day. This means that a lot of the confidence and experience you’ll be gaining will be on your feet.
We’ll take you through it step by step – the 2 trainers for each programme are chosen for the quality of their experience as trainers and presenters. They’re also passionate about people, so even though everyone’s different they’ll know how to bring out the best in you.
And with the tried and tested Process that we’ve developed over the last 18 years we know that you will find each step easily achievable – and that you’ll actually look forward to getting out in front.
Each of your presentations will be recorded onto a personal SD video card and reviewed with you in a separate room after each presentation, so you can see what you are doing well and what you’d like to do differently. This ensures you receive individual feedback and coaching over the entire two days.
You’ll be working on your own business material and - here’s the great part – there’s no preparation whatsoever needed for the course. We believe that you know enough already; it’s our job just to bring it out in you!
"Over the past five years we have worked together we have never had the need to consider finding another provider for Presentations Training. The results, evaluations and service we receive from PeopleTrack have always been outstanding."

Major Bid Presentations
This can take the form of 'live', on-site coaching on a bid or in the safe environment of a training room.
2-DAY BID SIMULATION
This programme is for advanced presenters who are regularly called upon to make group bid presentations and need to be more powerful and persuasive on the occasions they do. The two days are designed to be highly interactive with participants delivering six presentations on day one. Content comes from their own material leaving us free to work 100% on the delivery.
DVD is used for immediate feedback in a private 'Review Room'. With the coaching of an experienced trainer participants can expect to see significant improvements in the way they present and the impact they make. In addition, delegates typically gain new ideas about preparation, visual aids, and involving the audience for the best results.
Day 2 starts with the group being split into two competing teams matched against each other to simulate the bid process. Working on a case study, the teams receive coaching from our trainers as they prepare their pitch to be presented at the end of the day. Prizes can be awarded to the winning team who is decided by a senior member of your organisation.
WHO WILL BENEFIT
Any professional involved in business competitive bid situations i.e. account managers, technical experts, directors and pre-sales. After the first two days it is likely the inexperienced presenter will be keenly looking forward to trying out new skills in a business situation. The experienced presenter will feel more 'polished and powerful' and ready to try out new approaches.
OBJECTIVES
For the participants the programme will:
- enable teams to construct and present a powerful and persuasive bid which will stand out from the competition
- ensure participants work with a structure of a powerful bid presentation
- increase confidence in front of the group
- highlight and encourage natural strengths
- seek to eliminate distracting mannerisms/speech patterns
- explore different ways of persuading and motivating a panel
- encourage the use of effective visual aids
- increase their flexibility
- handover smoothly to the next presenter
- enable them to start strongly, hold interest, and close powerfully
- help to present themselves at their best
"PeopleTrack bid coaches help the bid teams deal with these issues through sensitive but strong coaching to make the complex simple. The key messages are matched to the customer brief and challenges, the presenters become as powerful and persuasive as they can be. The energy, creativity and objective approach of our bid coaches help the bid team to distinguish themselves from the competition by bringing out the very best in each individual therefore creating an integrated, cohesive team."
