Customized Communications Training
The pandemic has dramatically changed how we communicate. Teams already are connecting in new ways and will need to continue to improve how they engage and communicate – whether virtually, in person, or in new hybrid environments.
Moving a program, a meeting, a sales presentation or a conference from in-person to an online or hybrid model is not as simple as standing in front of your laptop camera and talking. How you present, individually and as a team, can lead to success or failure. The right strategy, skills and approach make all the difference.
In partnership with Gerry Sandusky, the Voice of the Baltimore Ravens, MarketPoint’s team offers customized online presentation training tailored to your organization’s specific presentation needs. Programs can be designed to address multiple aspects of virtual communications – from getting comfortable and understanding how to connect with your audience when in front of the camera to strengthening presentation skills for sales pitches or other types of ideation, problem-solving or project meetings. Our experts bring more than 30 years of experience in communications and broadcasting.
