Sixth technique: Demonstrations

One of the best ways to engage audiences and give them a better way of understanding a presentation is through demonstration. Demonstration can be done in many ways. For example, you can say that you need a volunteer to demonstrate something. This engages audiences and makes them excited. This video is a perfect example with regard to the use of demonstration, where three co-founders of their company approached investors to raise money in exchange for equity. Their  demonstration convinced all five investors to invest in their company because it gave them a better understanding of their business model.
