Today, we\u2019re going to focus on handling questions and managing the Q&amp;A.<\/p>\n<p>With the rise of hybrid teams, presenting online is just a regular part of work for many professionals. And while the basics of delivering information in a virtual setting may seem simple, interacting with your audience and dealing with questions feels very different online than in person. Skilled presenters have a variety of tricks for ensuring a productive Q&amp;A, or question and answer, session.<\/p>\n<p>For example, when someone asks a good question, you might redirect it to the entire group. That gives the Q&amp;A more of a discussion feel. And if people aren\u2019t asking questions, you can ask some yourself. Of course, sometimes people introduce ideas that you don\u2019t really have time to explore. In this case, you can suggest more discussion at a later time.<\/p>\n<p>Good presenters are also ready to admit any limitations to what they\u2019ve presented. Nobody has all the answers, so don\u2019t pretend you do. And finally, once the Q&amp;A is finished, it\u2019s a great idea to encourage people to follow up with you later if they have any other questions.<\/p>\n<p>In today\u2019s dialog, we\u2019ll listen to the end of a presentation by Adam, a business consultant. He\u2019s handling some questions and encouraging discussion after presenting his ideas on ways to increase sales. We\u2019ll also hear Adam\u2019s colleague Nancy and his boss Heather ask questions and participate in the discussion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Listening Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. What question does Nancy ask that Adam redirects to the entire group?<br \/>\n2. What question does Adam ask everyone to encourage them to share their ideas?<br \/>\n3. What key point does Adam admit they\u2019re still not sure about?<\/p>\n<p>[tp no_translate=&#8221;y&#8221;]<strong>Premium Members: <a href=\"https:\/\/businessenglishpod.com\/learningcenter\/Premium2008\/content18\/BEP380SN-Online-Presentations3.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">PDF Transcript<\/span><\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/businessenglishpod.com\/learningcenter\/Premium2008\/content18\/BEP380QIZ\/presentation.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Quizzes<\/span><\/a> | <a href=\"\/learningcenter\/Premium2008\/content18\/BEP380PC.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">PhraseCast<\/span><\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/businessenglishpod.com\/learningcenter\/Premium2008\/content18\/BEP380POD\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lesson Module<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Download: <a href=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/secure\/bizpod\/BEP380-Presenting-Online-3.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Podcast MP3<\/a><\/strong>[\/tp]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn business English for presenting online.
