However, as a public speaking coach, I think it\u2019s more helpful to determine how to finish your speech so your audience remembers you AND wants to take that next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is the end of your speech just as important (if not more) than the beginning?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Michael Port\u2019s book, The Referable Speaker, \u201caudiences tend to remember two things: the moment in the speech which elicits the most emotional response, no matter where it falls, and the very end of the session.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you end your presentations in these ways?:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Say \u201cthank you- it\u2019s been great!\u201d<\/li><li>End with a quote by a thought leader in your field<\/li><li>Quickly mention your program name and mumble that folks can schedule a call \u201cif they want\u201d<\/li><li>Turn your back and point out your beautifully designed Prezi or Powerpoint slide<\/li><li>Start Q&amp;A<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The end of your signature speech is precious real estate, and should be the foundation upon which you build your entire speech. To be clear, the end of your presentation is approximately the last 5-10 minutes of a 60-minute presentation. Typically, I encourage speakers to have 3 main audience takeaways of 15 minutes each, plus an opening, road map, recap and closing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can download this structure with the Signature Speech template (<a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/signaturespeak\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/signaturespeak<\/a>), which also clarifies what speaking success means to you and your ideal audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s go over why these 5 closings are leaving your audience uninspired and unmotivated, as well as share better alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"219\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/img1-219x300.png\" alt=\"End of your speech\" class=\"wp-image-2040\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/img1-219x300.png 219w, https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/img1.png 468w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 219px) 100vw, 219px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Thank you<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Expressing gratitude for the opportunity to share your message is a good thing. Yet, your presence on stage is an energy exchange- what do you want your audience to give back to you after you share your time and expertise with them? Leaving them with \u201cthank you\u201d takes away their chance to thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Better alternative<\/em>: Ask for survey feedback earlier in your presentation, or have a way for folks to connect with you more personally post-event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/img2-300x300.png\" alt=\"Quote\" class=\"wp-image-2041\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/img2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/img2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/img2.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Quote from a thought leader<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a public speaker, you don\u2019t need to rely upon other people\u2019s content to be considered a thought leader. You are taking the stage for a reason, and you have a unique perspective to offer beyond what current thought leaders talk about. Stand in your own power as an expert, and don\u2019t rely upon quotes that may be cliche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Better alternative<\/em>: Ask for one audience insight or takeaway in the room, or chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"231\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/img3-300x231.png\" alt=\"Your program\" class=\"wp-image-2042\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/img3-300x231.png 300w, https:\/\/www.iamdanram.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/img3.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Drop your program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The worst mistake I hear new public speakers make is to go long on meaty content, then wait until the last 2 minutes of their closing to introduce their program or service. Then, they provide multiple ways to connect with them. This creates resistance and confusion. Unless you\u2019re an angel investor, you don\u2019t want to be pitched all day long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I work with clients, I encourage them to seed their program within the first 10 minutes of their presentation. Seeding means gently introducing it- not pitching it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think \u201cin my Speaker Strategy Intensive, my client went from (problem) to (solution)\u201d instead of \u201cthat is why you need to enroll in my Speaker Strategy Intensive- here\u2019s the link to buy!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Better alternative<\/em>: Gently introduce your program\/book\/service as part of your stories or case studies within your presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Point out your Powerpoint<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Plenty of speakers use slide decks extremely well, or opt-out entirely of any technology. No matter which route you choose as a speaker, your audience should be 100% focused on YOU in your closing remarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People buy from people, not things. Your slides are not there to take your place as a speaker- they are meant to enhance and visualize your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Better alternative<\/em>: Black out your screen during your final thoughts, or have a contact slide that your audience can take a picture of to connect with you. <strong>Bonus<\/strong>! Have the audience text for your lead magnet or do a prize drawing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Start Q&amp;A<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing kills a beautiful speech more than saying \u201canyone have a question?\u201d There are two scenarios that could result- the silence of the grave or being challenged by someone in your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That doesn\u2019t mean you should lecture your audience for the entire presentation, and avoid any questions. People want to participate during the presentation, not as an afterthought or when they have 1-2 minutes in between speakers to gather their thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Better alternative<\/em>: Add questions into your transitions between your main point, or in the messy middle of your presentation when energy may be low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t get me wrong- I have been guilty of all 5 of these closing mistakes, sometimes more than once in the same presentation! After presenting hundreds of presentations, I have found alternatives that leave my audiences ready to take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which of these 5 mistakes would you like to improve for your next speaking engagement? Your audience will thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f9f8f8\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button popmake-1354\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\">Want to learn more?
