Sales Meeting

Planned interruptions add zest to the staging of a program. Instead of every new participant being introduced, one of them “interrupts” by approaching the speakers’ stand at the proper moment. He barges in with a wise crack or two. Before making his presentation, he is finally introduced. A planned interruption is even more surprising when someone in the audience interrupts the proceedings. Questions are often planted among members of the audience. Planted questions are nothing more than planned interruptions.

Then there’s the telephone, which can be located near the speakers’ stand and ring at a certain time. Not only does the interruption by ringing give a different flavor, but the ensuing one-way telephone conversation can be quite meaningful. It can start the introduction of the next speaker or the next subject. It can serve as a call from an important person who could not attend the meeting. It can represent a complaining customer, or help clinch a major point.
