“Does anyone have any questions?” might be the worst question ever asked by a presenter.

After a deadly, dull presentation, the last thing anyone wants to do is drag it out by asking questions. Avoid becoming the poster-child for the world’s worst presentation when you laser down your focus with these amazing presentation, and proposal tips from renowned sales trainer and expert, Simon Hares.
