• appropriate casting,
• creating a team,
• the importance of rehearsal,

• visual aids, and
• fielding the team.

Level 4: Closing to Win focuses on delivering the presentation. Critical areas associated with delivering the presentation include the following:

• managing the presentation flow,
• delivering a compelling close,
• coping with objections,
• taking appropriate post-presentation actions, and
• negotiating effectively.

While reflecting on the material offered in the EI Games: Presentation Skills Course and developing your paper, consider prior learning and prior work experience, in addition to the material presented. Disagreeing with the principles presented in Levels 3 and 4 is appropriate. However, do not reject the offered principles out of hand. Support acceptance or rejection of the offered principles with critical thinking and sound reasoning.

After completing Levels 3 and 4 activities, reflect on the situation presented in which a member of the presentation team had an emergency on the day of the presentation. The emergency was such that the team member was unable to deliver their part of the presentation. The solution proposed in the EI Games advised the team to explain the situation to the potential client and ask for a rescheduled presentation date.
