Business Presentation: How to Make it Work for Your Audience?

Business briefs, annual summaries, or product launches - any of these business deals will probably require you to make a visual representation or simply saying a presentation. It becomes more important and serious when you make a presentation of your product to potential investors, they need fewer words and more digits, so there is no more effective way as to represent it as a simple ppt presentation.But unless you decided to create one, do not forget about many of things like design, length, time that it takes to explain (if it is a live performance). And count on your time. A good presentation will require more than 15 minutes if it is to be well-prepared, though you use templates ppt (quick and helpful if you are not a ‘god’ of presentation making) or create a business presentation by your own. So here is an important issue common for any business presentation.1. Who is your audience?This question is vivid and obvious because it is a core of any communication. It relates to a presentation as well. First of all, ask yourself ‘who is my target audience’, ‘what they should know and remember from my report’, ‘what are their personal concern on this issue’ and ‘what benefit can I bring to them’.2. LengthYou know, a presentation is not about words, it is about image. The reason I repeat this is that most people still make their presentation useless and not interesting by overloading them with tonnes of text. So many surveys show it is the most annoying thing. How to present: change words with visuals, processes with schemes, 1 media clip instead of 3 slides. The exception is the situation when your presentation will be only seen and you will not be a reporter. For example, you need it to be self-selling for your investor from another world location, hence you can meet him to explain. The task of a presentation will be in bringing of all information for his decision-making. Probably it is better to support presentation with a full-scale description, but still, keep presentation short and word free.3. FAQ about Templates PPTMost experts do not recommend using it due to several reasons: standard ones do not involve, are designed ugly and usually full of text. This rule is applicable to your own ‘creative’ design: it means if you are not familiar with creating design and you are lack of time, it is better to use non-standard templates (you can find a lot of them on the Internet). They can save time and efforts, hence you can prioritize on the content. Nevertheless, they are convertible to Keynotes, OpenOffice, etc.4. Keep it short but informativeProbably it is the best recommendation in the digital world when people are just sick of too many unnecessary info flows. I am not saying it should be of 5 slides, though the information you would like to present takes all 100. Just use them wisely.
