How do you face a hostile audience during a presentation?

We all gain so much confidence before presenting our thoughts to a large crowd. We prepare notes, rehearse a couple of times and reconstruct our sentences for a better delivery of presentation.

If this is a first time, you are doing a presentation in front a crowd, this entire thought process is tedious.

Here are some sure-shot ways to go through it and come out with your agenda untampered.

1. Persuading the audience to agree with your decisions and conclusions for a particular evaluation is crucial for the success of your speech. Give a decision and using evidence say why it is a right way to proceed or not. This will work either way — a negative decision and proving why it is wrong or a positive decision and proving on why it is correct.
2. People create a first impression about the speaker within 9 seconds per studies. Probably based on what attire they wear, their body language, how they interact, etc. Make sure you get that first impression right.
3. When there is a disagreement to what you speak, it is good to sideline them with “That was an interesting perspective” or “You certainly have a point and thanks for sharing it”

What are your thoughts on this? If you had any hostile audiences, what did you do to holistically get into your presentation again?
