Here's how you can customize your presentations to meet your clients' needs.

Know your 'Why'! While creating any presentation answer these three key aspects - What's the purpose - What will I achieve towards the end - What value will I provide With answering these key questions you'd automatically be able to customise and cater to your audience.

Make it all about them and their wants and needs. My favourite question to ask is: ‘If you could wave a magic wand, what outcome would you like to see from this presentation? ‘

The key to a successful presentation lies in understanding the recipient. Regardless of the content being shared, the ultimate goal is to ensure that the message is received and understood. To achieve this, it is crucial to consider the audience and tailor the presentation accordingly. This means understanding how they receive information, whether it is through knowledge sharing, business updates, or discussion initiation. The presentation should feel comfortable, acceptable, and comprehensible for the audience, making it the utmost priority. Therefore, a one-size-fits-all approach is insufficient, and instead, the presentation must be tailored to maximize the audience's understanding and engagement.

Hey... awesome to see your views...why second is important.. I think it should be done later? No doubt self evaluation is necessary, but when client is there?

Here's honest opinion: As a Salesperson/Owner, you should clearly and very precisely understand who is not your customer/client? Now, when this is figured out. You need to identify what are my clients' pinpoints and how exactly I can solve them? Am I just a straddler in the market or I am solving a problem using a unique solution? Then, you are free to play the game anyway you like. Customize it as much as you like. There's no one stop solution and one size fits all approach in sales. You need to be on top of your personal and professional game to get to your clients.

é muito importante definir um objetivo para essa apresenta??o, usando perguntas por exemplo. 1. Qual é o publico alvo? 2. Qual é o meu objetivo com essa apresenta??o?

Stay clear on the "Why am I doing this". Do you want to share updates on progress? Share big numbers? Set the stage for debate? Knowing "Why am I doing this" is of the utmost importance and it sets the tone, and the rest of everything that you need in the design of the presentation.

Do not write what you can't defend Sometimes we get carried away with the Jargon and let things slide. I have learnt the hard way that until the presenter understands and owns everything on the slides there is a low chance of success. Presentation is your voice, no matter who helped you prepare it. Do not hesitate to change it around to suit your flow

Embrace the opportunity to infuse creativity and passion into your presentation. Engage your audience with dynamic visuals and interactive elements that make the content come alive. Remember, a well-crafted presentation is not just about delivering information—it's about creating a memorable experience that inspires action and leaves a lasting impression. Let your enthusiasm shine through, and watch as it captivates and motivates your audience!

One thing that I found helpful is keeping the PPT exposure to the minimal. If your product has a demo and you can quickly run it. DO THAT! Nothing is better than that. I believe the proof of the pudding is in eating it.

Understanding your client's needs and presentation objectives lays the groundwork for crafting impactful content. Focus on relevance and clarity, ensuring every piece of information directly supports your goals. Avoid unnecessary jargon unless it resonates with your client's industry and audience. Incorporate real-world examples and case studies that resonate with your audience, tailored to your client's situation. This approach enhances the appeal and effectiveness of your presentation, captivating your audience's attention.

Highlight things that will benefit them ensuring your audience won't miss crucial information. Give clarity and emphasis to enhance their ability to remember them even after the presentation.

We know who we are talking to, we know what we are talking about, and now we need to leverage these with design. It's like I'll be using Century Gothic to create playful and relatable info for kindergarten kids, but I will never try that for a corporate business case update. These designs have a subconscious story to tell. Make use of it to create a sense of agreement, reduce friction and increase approval in your presentation. It will help like magic.

Design dynamics is something that I often see people ignoring. If your design is not appealing and in harmony with your company's design language and color palette, your customers won't be able to resonate. Here's what helps: 1) If you don't know how to do it, delegate it to someone who's best at it. 2) Craft your originals. 3) Don't forget to count your audience with reading disabilities. They are your hidden gems. Take good care of them as a brand.

Your presentation's design is as crucial as its content. Incorporate your client's brand colors, logos, and visual style to evoke familiarity and professionalism. However, ensure that the design complements rather than overshadows your message. Visuals should enhance understanding, not detract from it. Simplify complex ideas with infographics or charts and utilize high-quality images to add value to your narrative. A well-designed presentation reflects your attention to detail and respect for the client's brand identity.

By mastering these aspects, you can transform your presentation from a routine task into an opportunity to truly connect with your audience. Remember, a well-delivered presentation can inspire, motivate, and leave a lasting impression. So, embrace the process, inject your enthusiasm, and make your presentation a powerful and engaging journey for everyone involved!

Many people think presenting comes naturally to me, but the key to success is practice. Before every important presentation, I conduct multiple dry runs, often involving others. I also prefer to simplify slides, using minimal content to keep the focus on myself and engage the audience effectively.

Embrace this opportunity to connect more deeply with your audience and show them that their input truly matters. Each piece of feedback is a stepping stone towards excellence, turning every presentation into a tailored experience that leaves a lasting impact. Your dedication to growth and adaptability will not only enhance your skills but also build stronger, more trusting relationships with your clients. Dive into this iterative process with enthusiasm, knowing that each step brings you closer to delivering truly exceptional presentations.

Questions are a great way of feedback, and it needs to be anonymous so that you audience can just be themselves. Here are some other personal anecdotes as well: Enhance delivery: Feedback can reveal aspects of your delivery that might need work. Perhaps you spoke too fast, mumbled key points, or lacked engagement. By incorporating feedback, you can refine your style and become a more captivating presenter. Boost content relevance: Feedback can highlight if the content resonated or if it went off on tangents. Hope it helped!

Focus on them, not yourself. If you don’t know what they want/ need, then you either haven’t asked or haven’t been listening. Check you understand their wants/needs. Then ruthlessly adapt to stay in their agenda.

The best presentation I received as a client was from a vendor who personalized the entire product journey using my name and display picture. They selected a mix of colour palettes that represented both their brand and mine. The outcome? I'm sold I quickly connected with the product they were selling. However, I realized that the issue they associated with my name wasn't relevant. I talked to the seller about why they perceived it as a challenge, and we discussed potential hidden risks that I hadn't been aware of; given me even more reason to believe that they are the SME and they are able to address my challenge with the tool that they are presenting.

In addition to the above, keep it crisp. One thing I do is create sections and keep the detailed slides as appendix. These I then hyperlink to the slide in main presentation. So this gives me an easy tool to go into the details of any point discussed if needed( during the discussion time) while keeping my presentation crisp and to the point Also keep some time for discussion and answering any questions. This time is critical for the success of whatever goal the presentation has

I have said this many times in my career..."I have taught/presented the same information, but never in the same way." and I truly belive this. Each and every client is different as are each participant. A great presenter knows how to continually evolve the information you are presenting in a way that resonates with each client. Do you know their company values and goals? Learn the culture of thier business. Be a learner yourself.
