有效的收尾是一個集邏輯和情感(logical and emotional elements)于一體,巧妙調(diào)動聽眾情緒的過程。如果想要一個令人振奮、印象深刻的結(jié)尾,可以嘗試如下步驟。
收尾信號
首先是收尾信號(stop sign)。收尾信號是提示聽眾接近尾聲的口頭暗示(verbal signal)。表達時語氣要堅定,聽眾因為知道要聽到最后的陳詞,精神會為之一振(perk up)。
☉In conclusion……
總而言之……
☉In summary……
總之……
☉To sum things up……
最后總結(jié)……
總結(jié)中心思想
回顧(recap)你講話中的主要觀點。一句帶過,點到為止。
☉What we’ve talked about today is……
今天我們所討論的是……
☉So, we’ve discussed A, B and C.
因此,我們討論過了A、B和C。
☉I hope everyone now has a better understanding of A, B and C.
我希望每個人對于A、B和C都有了更深層次的理解。
激勵聽眾
明確地告訴聽眾,講演中的想法和主意實施起來并非易事(not too easy to implement),同時也要盡可能地鼓勵他們,甚至可以通過表決心來帶動大家面對挑戰(zhàn)。此外,還要表現(xiàn)出樂觀情緒(optimism),堅信未來的成功。最后的話語要提高聲調(diào),感染聽眾。
☉I believe we can all make a difference on this issue.
我相信我們都能夠在這個事情上有所作為。
☉We can be successful, if we just……
只要我們……我們就會成功。
☉I know I will work harder in this area, and if you are all willing to jump on board, we will see success in the future.
我知道我在這個方面需要更加努力,如果你們愿意與我同舟共濟,我們就一定能見到成功的曙光。
暫停并致謝
致謝預示著尾聲(signals the finish),并且在聽眾鼓掌期間稍作暫停,向其點頭致意。
☉So let me say, thank you very much for your time.
所以我想說,非常感謝各位的時間。
☉Thank you.I appreciate your time and attention.
謝謝,感謝各位的時間和關(guān)注。
暫停
直到觀眾的掌聲漸落,這時可以請求解答疑問(solicit and answer questions)。
☉Are there any questions?
還有什么問題嗎?
☉Does anyone have any questions they’d like to ask?
誰還有什么問題要問嗎?
☉Thank you.I’d like to open it up for questions now.
謝謝,我現(xiàn)在可以解答問題。
總結(jié)收尾的好壞直接決定是“前功盡棄”還是“錦上添花”。發(fā)出收尾信號、重點突出的回顧,帶動聽眾一起與你挑戰(zhàn)未來。如果能以類似“黑夜給了我黑色的眼睛,但我要用它來尋找光明”之類的警句來升華你的講演,那一定是一個擲地有聲的收尾。

實景對話1A:In conclusion, we must spend more time and effort in customer retention. What we've talked about today is why customer relationships and customer loyalty is so important to developing our brand.I hopeeveryone now has a better understanding of brand development, customer service, and how to make customer loyalty transfer into profit increases.I know I will work harder in this area, and if you are all willing to jump on board, we will see success in the future.(Pause)So let me say, thank you very much for your time.(Applause, pauses until applause finishes)Does any one have any questions they'd like to ask?
B:I have a question. Do you think that customer loyalty is more important than brand visibility?
A:Do you mean importance in the development of the brand?
B:Yeah.
A:Actually, both customer loyalty and brand visibility are vital to growing your brand, but the relative importance of each aspect changes depending on the particular stage your brand is in. In other words, in the very beginning, perhaps brand visibility is more important, but with time, customer loyalty is what will make the difference for your brand.
B:I see. Thank you.
A:綜上所述,我們必須在客戶維系上投入更多的時間和精力。我們今天所談的是為什么客戶關(guān)系和客戶的忠誠度對我們的品牌發(fā)展如此重要。我希望每個人都對品牌發(fā)展、客戶服務(wù),以及如何將客戶的忠誠轉(zhuǎn)化為效益有更深的理解。我知道我在這個方面需要更加努力,如果你們愿意與我同舟共濟,我們就一定能見到成功的曙光。(掌聲)所以我想說,非常感謝各位的時間。(鼓掌,停頓到掌聲漸落)誰還有什么問題要問嗎?
B:我有個問題,您是否認為客戶的忠誠度比品牌的知名度更重要?
A:您是說對品牌發(fā)展的重要性嗎?
B:是的。
A:事實上,客戶的忠誠度和品牌的知名度對品牌的成長都至關(guān)重要,但是,隨著品牌發(fā)展所處的階段不同,各方面的相對重要性也在發(fā)生著變化。換句話說,在最開始的階段,品牌的知名度更重要些,但是隨著時間的推移,客戶的忠誠度將影響您的品牌。
B:我明白了,謝謝。
