Creating PowerPoint Presentations That Get Results

This unique one-day PowerPoint Boot Camp shows people how to create persuasive and message-oriented presentations that support their company’s business goals. Participants will cut presentation prep time by at least one-fourth. Salespeople will achieve a competitive edge by turning boring data presentations into winning sales tools. All participants leave the workshop with 26 ways to organize their information.

What’s Special About This Workshop

• We redesign slides for one or two of the company’s presentations. Participants use these “before-and-after” examples as models for their own presentations.
• Taking your company template, we create professional slide designs for use during and after the workshop.
• By the end of the day, participants have either redone their PowerPoint slides or created new slides using the company template. They practice using the professional, customized slides they designed.

Real-Work Practice

• Participants work on their own slides for all the exercises.
• Participants redo a portion of a real-work presentation during the workshop.
• We teach only those PowerPoint features that create successful presentations.
