The Key to Designing a Killer Sales Presentation
What sets apart the presentation that’s going to close the deal from one that has buyers running away? It may seem like voodoo black magic, however, the answer is actually pretty simple.
It has got to be all about the buyer
This may seem obvious, but if you take a hard look at all the presentations going out to buyers, you may start to notice a few things. For example, how many slides are focused on your company and products and services you offer? How much of the content is truly tailored to the client’s pain? Adding the client’s logo to the cover page is not enough to make them feel like you have personalized your presentation to their needs.
