Badly prepared. Because you know they know their stuff, but the lack of prep lets them down..

Fiddly demeanor, looking down at notes all the time, dreary boring monotone voice, too many umms and aaahs, lack of prep like Tam said.....

You trying to gimme a hint?

Not that I've experienced this, but I'd imagine the 4sight slot being used as a straight up sales pitch wouldn't go down too well

I am with Mike on this actually. I think the blatant sales pitch is just tedious. However, I have to say, this has been the tiny minority in my extensive breakfasting experience!!

Although obviously some people are better presenters than others, the 4sight slot is not so much a forum for public speaking skills as sharing some useful business tips or other.

Any 4 sight that doesnt grab your attention in the first 30 second because sadly I just turn off then. If at the end it only feels like they've been on their feet for 5 minutes then its worked. I went to one recently where 15 minutes stretched to 20 and felt like an hour. Pity and very much a lost opportunity....for everyone. In my view most 4 sights turn into a tutorial and dont involve the audience by asking or answering basic questions.

p.s I'm available for 4 sights on the "power of Bartering" and will do my best to stick to the good stuff above!
