Professional speaker Patricia Fripp suggests you close with a key phrase from the dialogue in your story. For example, if earlier in a story your mentor told you, "The evaluation completes the speech" at the close of your speech say, "Always remember what I learned from my mentor: the evaluation completes the speech." If you are giving a corporate sales presentation, close with a client testimonial you mentioned earlier in your speech.
In dialogue,
