Please critique this Presentation and Persuasion custom. It’s for someone who will be doing presentations, sales and business networking. Anything to add or remove?
Direct Influencing Aura, Eyes of Zenith, Entranced come to mind. Maybe Empathy too so you don’t come off too much as a controlling douche lol.
True Sell Core is a must IMO. The presentations I’ve delivered after listening it, have been really powerful.
GLM The Commander might be great addition as well (haven’t tried it tho)
Direct Influencing and Entranced are already in Synergy: Primordial Aura.
What module is Empathy?
Oh you’re right, sry meant Empath. Also Gentlemen’s Speech perhaps. Less is more though, I’d recommend making the custom as trim as possible, only adding modules you really think you need.
This is not from personal experience but I’d imagine Daredevil or True Social would fit in nicely here
Now that I re-read the sales copy of Daredevil, you’re right.
If you add Daredevil, I’d take out Tale of the Dragon, Lifeblood Fable, and any other modules that are covered by Daredevil.
Wow!!! I’ve never even seen that module before. Thanks.
It’s the storytelling that really stands out for me
If you can storytell you can present really well
Thought of that too
Stack seems to be awe inspiring and high status.
If your audience values relatability, trust, and clarity, consider balancing out some of that mystique with more warmth, vulnerability, or clarity based modules.
High status without warmth can intimidate.
Warmth without status can be ignored.
The magic happens in the blend.
Any suggestion?
Same.
Why do you have Inner Circle in there? What’s it meant to do?
I would consider Daredevil instead. 3-5s of the stock daredevil has worked well for me with verbal fluency, story telling (both coming up with a narrative before, and in impromptu), and being better received. Maybe give that a test before a regular presentation?
Didn’t really get much out of Whispered Power in a past custom. But YMMV.
I would try to remove Fearsome, at least for the first version of your custom - are you intentionally going for the fear-based directness when presenting?
+1 for Direct Influence Aura: Might find your proposals being acted on later
I thought it would be great for networking as the custom is not strictly for presentation and sales. It’s also for meeting people that would be valuable business-wise. . It will be a 2026 custom so I’m still brainstorming this.
After a read again the sales copy, I was surprised that Daredevil could have so many business applications. I agree with you.
I have in there, because why not? But I’ll certainly drop it.
Not at all. I’ll probaby remove it too.
Good to know!! Thanks.
True Sell Core + Daredevil + Gentleman’s Speech = clarity, charisma, and warmth in one lean blend that makes people lean in instead of pull back.
This seems a bit out of sorts to me. If you want to keep it, I’d add Mosaic.
