Numbers don't mean much until you compare them. Saying "We sold 10,000 units" is fine, but saying "We sold 2,000 more units than last quarter" makes the story clear.

In this episode of Business English Made Easy, you'll learn practical phrases for comparing data in presentations and meetings. We'll cover how to:

Highlight differences between products, teams, or regions
Describe trends over time with simple verbs like increase and decrease
Break down percentages and proportions into easy-to-grasp comparisons
Guide your audience through charts and graphs by explaining the "so what"
Present both positive and negative results in a professional way

By the end, you'll have the tools to turn dry numbers into meaningful stories your colleagues and clients will actually remember.
