OPEN FOR QUESTIONS. THE SILENT DISASTER


A nightmare scenario is as follows: the speaker ends his talk with words “Any questions?” This is met by total silence. Not a word. Then an embarrassed shuffling, a cough…. How can this be avoided? A possible answer is that if the presentation has been good and the audience is clearly interested, someone will have something to say.
Another way to avoid the nightmare of utter silence is to end with an introduction to the audience. This should ensure immediate audience response. Giving an instruction is often useful in sales presentations and where the audience has special requirements. For example, after talking about his or her products or services, the speaker wants the audience to explain their needs. He says: “I’ve told you about the ways Snappo can help companies like yours. Now for us to do that, we need to know more about the way you work. Tell me about your particular situation, and

what in particular may interest you….


or
Speaking to an audience of Department Managers or potential trainees, the Training Manager has outlined recommendations and explained what is available. He or she can end with: “Okay! I’ve told you what we can offer. How tell me what are your impressions, what are your priorities and what else do you need to know
now?”
Another option is for the speaker to have a question prepared. Ask something which you know the audience will have to answer. This often breaks the
ice and starts discussion. It may be possible to single out an individual who is most likely to have a question to ask you or a comment to make.
Task 6. Handling questions is thought by many speakers to be the most difficult part of a presentation. Why do you think this is? How do you think difficulties can be minimized?
Read the talk by Penny Yates about the difficulties that can arise in dealing with questions after a presentation.
Mark (+) the pieces of advice she gives.


a) Be polite ……….
b) Listen very carefully ……….
c) Ask for repetition or clarification ……….
d) Keep calm ……….
e) Tell the truth (most of the time) ……….
f) Don’t say anything you’ll regret later ……….
g) Check understanding if necessary by paraphrasing …….….
h) Agree partially before giving own opinion: ‘ Yes, but …’ ……….
What do you think is the best way to handle questions after a presentation?
Penny: It’s very important to listen vey carefully/That’s the first thing.
Listen. It can be useful to repeat or paraphrase the question,
you can check it that way, so you repeat the point the questioner
makes. That can help you, it gives you time to think. Also, always
ask for clarification if necessary.
What about the answer you give?
Tell the truth – most of the time.
