Pre-Frame The Room
- Enroll key stakeholders before the presentation by sharing drafts or asking for feedback so they're already on your side.
- Arrange for a trusted influencer in the room to introduce you to borrow credibility and warm the audience.
Use Intro Videos Strategically
- Use an advocate to introduce a short video that brags about you to build anticipation and control the opening energy.
