This is a speech where you will present and sell a product. The product may be new or you may expand a company’s product line. The sales presentation should be designed to persuade an audience to buy your product. Your tone should be businesslike but enthusiastic. You should research competitors (and their products) and you should stress the advantages of your product. You are allowed to use one note card, which will be collected. Speech order will be drawn randomly. Speeches will be given in the TV studio/drama room.
