Business Presentation

I have a meeting with a distance learning Investment Company’s CEO and
a few other high ranking officers. I am trying to obtain a loan for a
distance learning company that I would like to start. I need some help
on this. Here is some information about the distance learning and the
presentation.

Distance learning takes a real commitment to keep up independently and
employers are recognizing the value of an employee who has the
determination and self-motivation to advance through the distance
learning process. Students who participate in web-based instruction tend
to earn equal or higher grades than students in conventional versions of
the same classes. Virtual graduates also reported feeling better
equipped to enter the workforce.

Online learners tend to be motivated self-starters with the ability to
take assignments to completion. Distance learners are able to adapt to
dynamic environments and thrive on challenge. Distance education has the
potential to reach almost any audience, opening doors for talented
people who would otherwise not be able to attend school due to remote
location, finances, employment restrictions, lack of transportation and
childcare issues. Distance education results in a diversified talent
pool.

The audience of the presentation is as followed: The CEO and other
officers are somewhat apprehensive and have limited knowledge about
distant education.

The objectives of my presentation are as followed:

1. To present a business platform that is grounded in the target market
needs (i.e., distant education market)

2. To get the loan for the distant learning company

The topics that will be covered in the presentation are as followed:

1. Need for the company

2. New technology available - While distance-learning offerings have
been around for years, they have been slow to catch on because dial-up
modem connections cannot handle video. But two new services, Bell
Atlantic's Remote Learning Solutions (RLS) and Hughes Network Systems'
edgeUcast, which rely on high-speed DSL and satellite services,
respectively, more closely replicate the classroom experience.

3. Technology increases the Demand of Product

4. Distant Education is on the rise

5. Many successful company

6. Gap to fill by this company

7. Good Investment

I would select Microsoft PowerPoint for my presentation to the CEO. I
would choose Microsoft PowerPoint to add life to my diagrams and
presentation. Microsoft PowerPoint has limited animation presented with
diagrams, a slide show, controls the flow of information and it adds
interest to the presentation itself. PowerPoint is used for presenting
information in a slideshow format using text, charts, graphs, sound
effects and video, and its proliferation is linked to the demise of the
overhead projector. It is the “lingua franca� of the public-speaking
circuit, boardroom and university lecture hall, and increasingly it can
also be found assisting with classroom lessons, parents' group meetings
and school science fairs.

The images I want to portray are one of strong conviction and
competence, and of knowledge about knowing the needs of the distant
education market. I will speak with conviction showing that I really
believe in what I am saying. Since my audience is somewhat apprehensive,
I will persuade my audience effectively. The material I present orally
will have the same ingredients as that which are required for a written
research paper (i.e. a logical progression) from “introduction
(objectives) to “body� (strong supporting arguments, accurate and
up-to-date information of the need I am going to address) to
“conclusion� (re-state objectives, summary, and logical conclusion)
only in presentation form.
