Successful presentations & interviews

People make presentations or are interviewed during pitches to win new business and when they seek promotion or change. Have you ever wondered about the reasons that some people are able to get the job they want time and time again, or they consistently win the deal, whilst others invariably don't? Have you noticed how some people capitulate though nerves or lack of focus whilst others consistently manage to perform?
