How do you begin your speech at a formal business meeting?
Asked by Hlotfy
Beginning a formal business speech is no different than any other speech or presentation.
- With a SINCERE SMILE, the speaker should start by courtesly greeting their audience, "Good morning", "Good afternoon", or "Good evening".
- Next, the speaker should clearly say their name, i.e., "My name is Charles Boyd." Note: If you aren't a celebrity, or world famous, you should still say your name again, even if you are introduced. Saying your name personalizes you, and affords you some time to focus your thoughts on your speech.
- If you are about to begin your speech and you notice and people are still entering the room, or the audience is resettling themselves after a short break, you would do well to not immediately jump directly into your subject matter. A better decision would be to tell the audience how delighted you are to speak to them about an important matter near and dear to your heart, and how you appreciate their attendance for such an important moment. Scan the room while you are speaking and be sure to make eye-to-eye contact with your audience. This action alone will strengthen your confidence and attract your listeners into your message.
- Once you are ready to 'officially' begin (the room has settled), you should launch into your speech with passion and conviction. There are precious few moments when it comes to public speaking. To waste any of those moments is to do a disservice to your speech and the audience's time.
So to wrap up: How does one start a business formal speech? "Good morning, my name is Charles Boyd. I'm appreciative of your attendance today. The subject I wish to talk about is very important to me, and by the end of my talk with you, I believe you'll feel the same."

What are the aspects of successful persuasion?
Asked by Wiki User
I know some aspects are that you have to first be friends with or for the entirety of your persuasion be friendly, and to honestly or dishonestly make them feel as if they benefit from the thing you are trying to get them to do. Also, you can explain in your own way why an other decision besides the one you want would not be as superior as your way. Hope this helps. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to Robert Cialdini, one of the foremost experts on the art of persuasion. The following six elements are the keys to effective persuasion: * Reciprocation - People tend to return a favor. Thus, the pervasiveness of free samples in marketing. In his conferences, he often uses the example of Ethiopia providing thousands of dollars in humanitarian aid to Mexico just after the 1985 earthquake, despite Ethiopia suffering from a crippling famine and civil war at the time. Ethopia had been reciprocating for the diplomatic support Mexico provided when Italy invaded Ethopia in 1937. * Commitment and Consistency - If people commit, verbally or in writing, to an idea or goal, they are more likely to honor that commitment. Even if the original incentive or motivation is removed after they have already agreed, they will continue to honor the agreement. For example, in car sales, suddenly raising the price at the last moment works because the buyer has already decided to buy. See cognitive dissonance. * Social Proof - People will do things that they see other people are doing. For example, in one experiment, one or more confederates would look up into the sky; bystanders would then look up into the sky to see what they were seeing. At one point this experiment aborted, as so many people were looking up that they stopped traffic. See conformity, and the Asch conformity experiments. * Authority - People will tend to obey authority figures, even if they are asked to perform objectionable acts. Cialdini cites incidents, such as the Milgram experiments in the early 1960s and the My Lai massacre. * Liking - People are easily persuaded by other people that they like. Cialdini cites the marketing of Tupperware in what might now be called viral marketing. People were more likely to buy if they liked the person selling it to them. Some of the many biases favoring more attractive people are discussed. See physical attractiveness stereotype. * Scarcity - Perceived scarcity will generate demand. For example, saying offers are available for a "limited time only" encourages sales.
What is the difference between direct and indirect approach?
Asked by Wiki User
-->Direct- Say if you were of an ethnic minority and you went for a job and you were told when you arrived that the job was taken. You then arrange for a "white" friend to go for the same job and they are told it is still available. Or if you were at a job interview and you state that you have 4 children and the interviewer makes a remark about you having to have a lot of time off work.
-->Indirect- If you went for a job that states anyone who applies must have at least 10 years experience in the position which would put a young person at a disadvantage. Or if there were disabled facilities but they had to be accessed from the rear of the building next to the rubbish bins etc and everyone else goes in thru the front door. They're still providing the facilities and still saying anyone can use them but they're putting those people at a disadvantage or humiliation.
oh and IF your doing this PLEASE DONT!!!

How do you make important decisions?
Asked by Wiki User
It's a mature and smart person that would ask this question. When we are on our own and have to make our own decisions you can either run your thoughts by a friend, older relative or you can sit down one night (when everything is quiet) get the old pen and paper out and write down the pros and cons of the problem. Once you see it on paper it seems a little clearer. I usually do this when it's super important and if I'm really stuck I'll ask for a couple of people's opinions and take a little of each to help me make my decision. When my decisions involve friends or family I want to be as sure as possible (if I have to get strict and blunt with that person) I am in the right so I will ponder over the problem for several days before saying anything. Remember, once you mouth the words and hurt someone, these words are not easily taken back and even if the person forgives you, thing between you will just never be the same. If I am making decisions about business I do research over the computer on it, make a few phone calls and if I'm still not satisfied then I go to the pros for my answer ... psychologist, lawyer, doctor, etc. I love input from other people because the old saying stands true "sometimes we can't see the forest for the trees." This means: Sometimes we are in the middle of a heavy duty problem and we can't see all aspects of it because we are stressed out. What seems difficult to us at the time isn't that difficult for another person to see and give you good solid advice. Marcy

Is Muhammed Ali the greatest sportsman of all time?
Asked by Mlulat
Oh yeah... big time... He will always be remembered.
Yes he will be remembered! Out of the ring he was a controversial and heroic leader followed by many and he captured the imagination of the world with his intellegent and challenging poems before his fights - they were often backed up in the ring. Along with his exceptional boxing abilities, Ali became a global icon.
However Ali is NOT the greatest sportsman of all time and in fact he is possibly not even the greatest boxer of all time - he did lose 5 times!
The greatest sportsman ever is Don Bradman
What is the main aim of inside centre in rugby?
Asked by Wiki User
In Rugby Union, there are two centres - the Inside Centre and the Outside Centre. Now, for both centres, long and high tactical kicking is required because in a ruck or maul, the Halfback usually passes it to the Fly-Half. Then the Fly-Half usually punts it into touch. Sometimes the Fly-Half can be involved in the ruck, so instead, one of the centres replace tahat position. If the Halfback is in the ruck, then either the two centres of the Fly-Half acts as the Halfback. If both Halfback and Fly-Half are involved, then the centres have to do the Halfback's job. Separately, the Inside Centre has to be fast and needs strength to break out of tackles sometimes. After a ruck, if the Fly-Half decides to pass, the Inside Centre receives it usually. The Outside Centre has to be even better at tackle breaking than the other Centre so that means he/she needs quite a lot of strength, as much as the Locks do is pretty good. For both Centres, goal kicking is not necessary. Whenever the Inside Centre has the ball and decides to pass, he/she usually passes it to the Outside Centre. Grubber kicking is important for the Outside Centre, so is soccer kicking. When an opponent is willing to tackle the Outside Centre, he/she usually crashes ball (runs straight into he/she with hands-off) or grubbers it instead of doing a side-step or any type of up-and-under kick.
Centres ideally are fast and strong and agile enough to draw in two defenders to tackle them. That way they can pass to the wings, the fastest players who will then be un- marked and can run to score.

How do you start your own ski apparel business?
Asked by Wiki User
Firstly create a business plan. You cannot hope to even get started without one.
Decide (as your question does not indicate is) if its a retail business or a manufacture business. They are completely different and will need to be approached a diffiernt ways in full.
Assuming its for an outlet:
Plan to seek out an area for the outlet - if its a shop/store envirnment your loking to start
Using the plan identify competition in the area - if your doing this from a outlet rather than on line then this is critical as thre may be business a plenty in your target area making it really difficult to even get on the first rung of the ladder.
Identify you target customer base. How will they get to you, how will you get to them. Are you in a"good footfall area".
How will you fund the initial first months of creating the business as well as the openeing. Most people forget to plan in finacial coverage for the purchase of premises, licences, untilities. EPOS (tills) stands, for the outlet, fittings and fixtures plus legal fees such as insurances for the premisies, stock and fittings, and in addition such things as company facias with business names on etc and then of course how will you advertise this venture. (this goes back to the basics of whose going to be my custoemer)
You will need to seek out reliable suppliers for a vast range of areas across the the sports areas you wish to cover. then idenfiy the key suppliers, negociate the purchases and set upi credit limits for your ordering.
Staffing will need to be considered. no one can run a business like this and be there every open hours and still survive.
these are just a few of the basic considerations
