Top Tops
Use slides as a support tool and not to detail content.
Keep content on screen concise, ‘punchy’ and clear.
Use more visuals than words
Don’t rely solely on PowerPoint. Use other props and content, such as boards and models
Try to keep to no more than three things to a slide. Slides need to be read / digested by the panel in maximum of 5 seconds
Structure the presentation / agree messages before producing detail
Communicate a single impact statement to client that they will remember
Ensure all skill sets are represented and the that there is an appropriate balance of sales/leadership and delivery resources (10/90 rule)
Follow the client instructions and ensure compliance
