From blank to the perfect presentation.
How do you go from nothing to the perfect presentation? There is a whole thought process before you actually get started building a presentation. In this blog, we explain the steps we take to arrive at a good catchy presentation.
When you are still at the very beginning of your presentation, it is good to check a few things;
- Who is my audience? And most importantly, how do I best connect my presentation to these people? How much knowledge do they have about this topic beforehand?
- What do I want to achieve with my presentation? Do I want to sell a product? Am I offering a solution to a problem or do I want to effect a change?
- Who is the speaker and how good is he/she at this? Of course, you can compensate with a perfectly crafted presentation when you are a slightly lesser speaker. The other way around, by the way, this does not work. Because of course it does not mean that you want to put a good speaker with a lesser presentation in front of the group.
A good presentation starts with a good story. If you are clear about what you want to convey and for whom then you can get to work.
Our roadmap:
Step 1:
Think carefully about why your audience would want to hear this story. What solution do you have to offer? Why is this interesting and how do you immediately grab your audience’s attention? Often this is not in the product you offer, but in the solution. What does your story/product/service deliver to people?
Step 2:
Apply storytelling, or in other words, try to wrap the message in a story. For example, when you tell about that one moment when you were in the shower in the morning and came up with a good idea. And what this ultimately gained in comfort, peace, money, or happiness. Talk about recognizable examples. In addition, by wrapping the message in a personal story, your audience is more quickly captivated.
So come up with a good story that will convince your audience that they need your product or service. A good story starts with a recognizable problem, it contains main characters, a conflict and you conclude with the solution.
Step 3:
Now that you have your story clear, you can start dividing it into chapters. Then divide the chapters into slides and decide what each slide should look like.
Step 4:
Finally, you get to work on shaping the presentation. Which style will add the most power to your story? Do you use your company’s recognizable house style or do you completely deviate from it? Find out which animations and images you need to shape your presentation.
