Critical Success Factors

  • Appropriate commitment of time to build content and practice

  • Passion, enthusiasm and positivity breeding confidence in the team

  • Subject knowledge and belief in the solution

  • Knowledge of who the client side interview are and who in the team faces off to who.

  • Appropriate materials (PowerPoint isn’t the only answer!)

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
