Using the six tools, you’ll learnhow to give powerfullypersuasive presentations…Even when you don’t havemuch time to prepare

Here are the 6 tools Romney used to

win the first debate

1

Romney looked smarter and more alert than Obama

Romney exuded confidence whereas Obama looked tired

When giving a speech/presentation,make sure you look

smart and confident…

Research shows that the better-dressed and the smarter you look,

the more persuasive you’ll be…

2

Romney had a clear structure through numbering his points

“Number 1…(followed by point)Number 2…Number 3…”

It made his arguments easy to understand and follow

When giving impromptu speeches,

use numbering to make your structure clear…

3

Romney made great use rhetorical questions

Rhetorical questions keep your audience members engaged

“Well, why lower the rates? Because…”

By voicing out loud the questions your audience may have, you build

rapport with them

Rhetorical questions also give your speeches and presentation an

easy to follow structure

When giving impromptu speeches,

use rhetorical questions to engage your audience and build rapport with them…

4

Romney told humorous stories and used analogies to make his point

“I know you and your running mate keep saying that…but it’s just not the case.

I got five boys. I’m used to people saying something that’s not always true but keep on repeating it and ultimately hoping I’ll believe it. That is not the case!” - Romney

Romney used the example of his five kids to make a humorous point that Obama was like a child who wasn’t

telling the truth…

When giving speeches &

presentations, use humor, stories and analogies to make your points memorable…

5

Prepare a Power Phrase in advance to knock-out your

opponent…

“You are entitled to your own house and your own plane, but not

your own facts” - Romney

Romney had no-doubt coined the impressive line before the debate and

was just waiting for the right opportunity to use it

Thus, even though the line was coined before the debate, it sounded like an impressive and spontaneous remark

If you know you’re going to be

debating, prepare your Power Phrase in advance…

6

Romney kept it conversational. He used conversational phrases

instead of using overly-complicated terminology

“Throw all these studies out there…”

“But let’s get to the bottom line…”- Romney

When giving presentations and

speeches, keep your language conversational…Sound human!
