Presentation is a primary element of design. It’s a marketing issue, as well as a technical need, to present best quality designs and related materials. The best presentation requires planning and excellent software capabilities. 3D design software and 3D modeling software are classic examples of the presentation possibilities available in construction software.

Design presentation software

Construction software like 3D modeling is a valuable presentation tool. It looks terrific, and can be fully tailored to any level of information quality requirements. Fortunately for presenters, this type of software presentation is very portable, and is tailored to meet basic computer specifications. There’s not much a multicore laptop can’t run, so there are no “production issues” with design software presentations.

Graphics, CAD, and better presentation

The full range of presentation needs is available on design software. This is a natural result of the requirement for visual quality in this type of software, combined with some very useful all-purpose graphic and display options. That combination actually helps presenters in terms of compiling materials easily.

More and better presentation options

Most importantly for presenters, presentation is extremely flexible, and professional presenters will appreciate the large number of options available. Design software based presentations not only contain higher quality materials, but are much easier to use as single stream production tools.

Anyone who’s tried to put together a strong visual presentation knows the problems:

• Visibility of materials
• Materials content
• Pacing the presentation to the audience
• Information quality
• Coordinating audience materials with the presentation

With design software, you have the capabilities of desktop publishing combined with top level visual materials. Editing and information quality are easy. All these materials can be synchronized to the second for even the most time management conscious presenter. Audience materials can simply be collated and printed from the presentation.

The entire presentation can be posted on a website, or even used for a web conference, effortlessly. The essential elements of presentation, like colors, product image context and strong branding, are easy to put together, and you can try multiple presentation techniques.

Note: This software also integrates well with 3D conferencing, and other potentially technically difficult propositions for presenters.

Hard sell- Making a great design look great

As a marketing tool, the very high production quality and content of design presentation equates to very hard sell. This type of presentation is a marketer’s dream, because it allows full development of all visual and information content, and can be managed extremely effectively.

You can literally tailor a presentation for a particular audience and management needs, and bring designs elegantly to life.

For example:

If you’re presenting to investors, design software allows a comprehensive approach to information quality. Information can be sourced verbatim, direct from the basic engineering design software. (This is important when doing prospectus-related business presentations, where quality requirements for information content are strictly defined.) You can also cross-check your content to ensure you meet all these requirements as well as optimizing sales content.

Debt negotiation is a settlement arrangement through which you can eliminate a sizable portion of your unsecured debt. Due to the difficulty in recovering the unsecured debt, the creditors are generally willing to offer a discount on the debt and buy the loyalty of the customer rather than risking the total debt.

However, dealing with negotiations, especially with your creditor to get a substantial discount on your debts, can prove difficult for the average debtor. Average borrowers do not have the necessary experience, financial and legal awareness to tackle the seasoned lenders. In any event, negotiating on a loan can be very time consuming and difficult. Most of the borrowers who are finding it difficult to offload their debt do not have the comfort of carrying out negotiations as they are busy switching from one job to another.

As a solution to these problems, we can resort to a legitimate debt negotiation Company. The negotiation Company will have the necessary expertise and the resources that are needed for the task. They will analyze your repayment capacity and will require you to agree on a monthly settlement plan to which you need to contribute over a certain time period. The amount you contribute will be held in a separate account. Without your knowledge, your settlement fund will increase to a substantial amount which the Company can use to settle the debt later.

However, the negotiation Company will want you to stop paying your monthly payments on the debt-you are already saving the money on the settlement account instead. When the creditors become uneasy over your probable default, the negotiation Company will start negotiations with your creditor for a substantial discount on the debt. In addition, a flexible repayment plan can also be obtained. Further concessions such as interest rebates or a waiver of interest will be offered based on the individual circumstances.

Through debt negotiation, a substantial portion of your unsecured debt can be eliminated. The success of the negotiation process depends on the perfect timing of the negotiations. The significant disadvantages of the process are the impact it has on the credit score and the risk of the creditors filing recovery actions against the debtors during the process.

As you go about your workday, do you take time to negotiate the obstacles you regularly face or do you just walk away in disgust?

Please don’t walk away – come back and negotiate. Almost everything, in every aspect of your life, is negotiable. Having effective negotiation skills is the key. Especially in these difficult economic times, your ability to negotiate may mean the difference between success or ruin.

We negotiate transactions and conflicts – everything from which restaurant we choose for lunch to how to structure our businesses and our lives. These are the nine things you need to know before you sit down for your next negotiation.

1. Every negotiation brings an opportunity for meaningful and positive interaction. So, instead of seeing your negotiations as stressful hurdles, view them as possibility seeking endeavors.

2. Negotiation is a process, not an event. A diagram of what a negotiation should look like includes four fluid phases. The first phase is individual planning, preparation, and analysis. This is followed by relationship building; then an information exchange that includes a first offer, persuasion, concessions and compromise; and finally, agreement.

3. Before you ever meet the person on the other side, prepare. Do your homework. Find out as much as you can about your fellow negotiator and what his interests might be. Learn the facts and know your alternatives.

4. Be ready to deal with conflict by knowing yourself and your natural responses to conflict. If you are afraid of conflict you may not be able to move through a difficult, but necessary, discussion. Often it is best to respond without reacting. And while that may not be easy when you are emotionally triggered, it can bring you significant benefits.

5. Work with the person on the other side, not against them. Use your best communication skills, be clear and concise. Ask open-ended questions, then be quiet and listen. Be flexible and open to unseen possibilities.

6. Seek to understand the cultural and personality factors that may impact the process – but don’t stereotype or pigeonhole.

7. Be prepared for dirty negotiation tactics. Dirty tactics fall into three categories deliberate deception, psychological manipulation, and positional pressure maneuvers. When faced with a dirty negotiator (for instance the car salesman who leaves you sitting in a room for long periods of time) you have three options. You can identify and confront the dirty tactic, you can fall prey to it, or you can walk away. Make your decision based on the circumstances and your motivation. Remember, you choose your response.

8. Power balancing is a critical component of all negotiations. When negotiating always consider possible power imbalances and the differences between having ‘power-over’ (coercion, control, and dominance) and having the ‘power-to’ (the ability to act, to influence, to say no). Additionally, take into account the power source, which might be money, position, rank, or the personal power that emanates from a person’s individual characteristics. Finally, keep in mind that often a more motivated negotiator can overcome a lack of power.

9. There are five basic negotiation styles: competing, avoiding, accommodating, compromising, and collaborating. Each style has strengths and weaknesses and can be effective at certain times, in certain situations, and with certain individuals. While we may each have a preferred style knowing when and how to use each style appropriately can produce the most successful results.

a) Competing works when winning is the goal and winning is more important then the relationship with the person on the other side.

b) Avoiding is effective when neither the goal nor the relationship with the person on the other side is important. When it’s misused important goals are put at risk and the chance to improve the connection with the person on the other side is missed. So use this strategy with care.

c) Accommodating works best when the goal is to maintain relationships and please the other side.

d) Compromising is effective when you want to find a quick balance between meeting goals and building or maintaining a relationship.

e) Collaborating is effective when it is critical to both meet one’s own goals and to improve a relationship. While this may sound like the ideal strategy it is not appropriate for every situation; collaboration can be time consuming and often requires a commitment to the process that is not realistic unless a serious level of connection exists between the parties.

Finally, here is your homework: keep learning about negotiation and yourself as a negotiator. And, then, please, write to me and let me know your findings.
