Be the tour guide
One more important tip then. During your presentation you will encounter resistance. Do not let this throw you off, but during the presentation adhere to the rules of the tour guide. As in every tour bus, your presentation group will also contain one or two critics who have a rock-solid, negative conviction. Do not have the illusion that you are going to convince them. Do not even try, it is a waste of energy.

Incidentally, it is my experience that people rarely use this option, but that is besides the point. Focus on the people who are curious and/or enthusiastic. Maybe (just maybe) their positive attitude will even influence the critics and it will still be pleasant on the bus.
