Got the opportunity to give 2 presentations in the past 2 weeks. And I can't articulate the adrenaline rush I get when the spotlight is on me.
One was a "demo-day" of sorts, where the entire day was reserved for every team in the company to showcase the fancy things they've done in past 4 months. Sales team thought out of the box and decided to focus on the "how we sell" part v/s "what $$ we sold" (which everyone knows).
YoursTruly QuizWhiz took the opportunity to present on stage, represent the sales team (being 1.5 months into the company, lol), and nailed it. With 0 prep and everything being impromptu - the crowd was absolutely engaged since the presentation wasn't boring like the rest of them. Awarded the first runner up.
Second presentation was in our weekly sales call - where YoursTruly was asked to share updates of the impact from International Sales in last 6 weeks. Received multiple praises from multiple team members on the presentation style, impact and again - the Non-Boring part.
The adrenaline rush I get is absolutely amazing - and probably even much more than I get on marking a deal as "Closed Won". Maybe I should join the theatre?
