An elegant bridge is something that links 2 parts together. An effective bridge is not noticeable to the audience. It can link 2 parts that are closely related, or quite different sections. It helps you to achieve continuity of rapport. It removes the possibility of sales shock as it will take the audience seamlessly from the content to the sales element of the presentation. A good bridge will be invisible and effectively helps you to deliver the message. It could be a testimonial, linking phrase, analogy or a question. Eye contact and a pause can be your elegant bridge.
