Sales Meeting

In a sales meeting, the audience normally likes to see any idea presented by a speaker visually. A visual presentation can be made at the same time as the verbal and it can be made in several different ways.  A good method is the crossover, an individual crossing the platform behind the speaker.  The person crossing can illustrate many things with real effectiveness.

Suppose the speaker wants to tell of an overconfident salesperson. “He vowed he’d eat his hat if he couldn’t sell a certain prospect.” This is a natural for a crossover! When the climax of the story is reached, a fellow crosses the stage chewing on his hat!

Perhaps the speaker refers to a fellow who became a smart-alec,”too big for his britches.” Someone with the seat torn out of his trousers could crossover.  “He lost” said the speaker.

“He almost lost his shirt.” A fellow in pants and an undershirt could then crossover.

“This man made a million dollars.” A fellow crosses with money sticking out of every pocket, and pinned to his shoulders and back. He’s counting some bills in his hands.

“That competition of ours really took a beating.” The crossover is made by a man who has a bandaged eye, an arm in a sling, and catsup on his cheek!
