3. Determine the objective of the presentation by analyzing the

questions who, what and why?

Who is the last person in the audience?

Someone who has an influence in the decision-making process, the last

person should be someone with the least knowledge on the topic so you
should take that into consideration to make the message of the
presentation as clear as possible

What is the action the last person should take?

The last person must take an action toward the topic you presented,
keeping this in mind your presentation must be as clear as possible.

Why should the last person do what he/she is asked?

The last person must do something about the information it has been
given but by doing so it must get something for itself.
