b$.$ strongly convey his own personal belief and confidence in the product he is selling, perhaps by talking about his own experien

c$.$ make eye contact and avoid nervous gestures, such as fidgeting, as he delivers the presentation

d$.$ recognize his fears and understand that not getting the business will not cause his worst fears to materialize

e$.$ Speak self$-$affirmations out loud, such as "I have been chosen to give this presentation because I have excellent public spea and an approachable demeanor to which the customer will respond well"
