Good luck with it Bandage. Just do some preparation and do it the way you would want to be presented to. Present it in a way that you are most comfortable with and do a few run throughs of it so that you are comfortable with the language you are using and the structure / flow of the presentation. I would suggest using A3 print outs rather than a powerpoint.
This is all what I did for a third interview for a role I really wanted this week (one phone interview, three face to face interviews, two online tests, ref checks, ffs). I had to do a role play in front of three sales managers (a first meeting with a new prospect) and a strategy presentation based on a sales strategy for achieving a very specific sales target for a specific product set within a specific time frame (they are fond of the word specific).
There are probably some key phrases or ideas that you want to get across, make sure you have them written in frnt of you somewhere. I told them at the outset of the role play that I had a set of questions in front of me as I wanted to ensure I covered off all of the information I needed in order to formulate the best solution for them and so that I wouldn’t be wasting their time. This went down very well.
Also, read the brief they give you very very thoroughly. Pick out key words and phrases. One of the things From my role play brief was who the prospect company was. I know they are part of a larger group. So during the role play I ensured I explored the possibility of extending the offering to the parent company, thus increasing the opportunity value. Apparently I was the only interviewee who did this, which I find incredible.
I got the job btw, start at the end of Feb, great job, great company, huge opportunity, location cuts 45 minutes off my previous commute. Little bit of work at this stage goes a long way. Good luck with it pal.

Fitzy junior is probably crying himself to sleep at the thoughts of Fitzy senior having an extra 90 minutes a day to hot house him at the cricket.

Congrats Fitzy you won’t know yourself with all the time you get back. There’ll be a bumper crop of tomatoes next season.

[flattythehurdler]

Well done fitzy.
@Bandage, whatever happened to the sportswriting idea?
Don’t give up on that. Being serious for a minute, I think you could be really really good at it.
Handier to try and start out while the bills are being paid all the same.

A very clever move from the paper salesman

[Fitzy]

I no longer sell paper

[balbec]

The vegetables will be getting a lot more TLC as well.

[Appendage]

Congrats to the boy @fitzy but isn’t it all a load of corporate bollox all the same (not specifically fitzy but the whole fucking thing).

Extend the opportunity. Add value. Etc.

Come in time, go home in time and take your time all day.

[anon61956325]

What’s it all about, mate?

[Fitzy]

Not in the kind of enterprise sales role I’m in mate where you have constant accountability, budgets to meet, tracking every week, constant pipeline reviews. You don’t take your time with anything, it’s all about closing deals as quickly as possible and move onto the next one.

[TreatyStones]

I despise sales people

[anon67715551]

Congrats @Fitzy.

[Fitzy]

That’s alright mate, we despise you too.

[TreatyStones]

Except you need us mate, we don’t need you.
