Make sure your introduction answers the questions, “Why this speaker?”
Be upbeat!
Share something personal about the speaker.
Don’t steal the speaker’s thunder or material.
Don’t say, “Our speaker needs no introduction.”
If you are going to use humor, clear it with the speaker first.
“Your suggestions on who you think would best fulfill our needs are probably the most valuable service that you provide as it is our company and reputation that is on the line. For two years in a row you have exceeded Bayer's and our customers expectations. Thanks again!”
