OET Speaking Roleplay Practice: Episode 1 – Heart Attack Recovery Consultation

Plática con la profe Amanda sobre el portuñol.

Mucho que decir

El portuñol Ft. Amanda Grillo (Brasil)

The boardroom shimmered with anticipation. It was our moment – the chance to present our green energy solution to a potential billion-dollar partner.  Months of research and development hung in the balance.  As CEO, I knew the presentation had to be flawless.

Flashback six weeks.  We'd made the initial contact with them, but our initial proposal was met with a lukewarm response.  Their feedback – "unclear goals" and "lack of data-driven evidence."  It was a harsh lesson.  We'd underestimated the importance of clear communication.

This time, we went all in on preparation.  We drilled down on their specific needs, tailoring our presentation to address their environmental goals and cost-saving projections.  Data became our mantra.  Charts, graphs, and case studies were meticulously crafted to showcase the impact of our technology.

Anticipating questions was paramount.  Our team planned every scenario, rehearsing responses until they were clear, concise, and confident.  Even the presentation slides – clean, visually appealing, and focused on the message – became a communication tool.

Fast forward to the meeting.  My opening statement resonated.  It wasn't just about our technology; it was about a shared vision for a sustainable future.  The data painted a compelling picture, each statistic linked back to the investor's needs.  When questions arose, our team delivered prepared, impactful responses.

The atmosphere shifted.  Their executives leaned forward, engaged.  The follow-up discussions were lively, brimming with possibilities.  We left that day with a handshake and a renewed sense of optimism.

Weeks later, they signed the partnership agreement.  Looking back, it wasn't just our technology that won them over.  It was the preparation, the clear communication, and the confidence we exuded. In business, effective communication is the bridge between good ideas and successful partnerships.  And that bridge is built on preparation.
