PowerPoint Makeover: Making numbers pop
Numbers, of course, can be a major element in a presentation. Often, however, they are simply dumped on the audience with no effort to make them either interesting or insightful.
This before and after is a simple solution to help the presenter show the numbers that are critical to the message while making them visually appealing.
Instead of blocks of text in the original, a simple but relevant map of the US is overlaid with the important numbers. Each number is revealed as it is discussed orally by the presenter. The map actually does not add to the content of the slide or to the understanding of the data. It is simply a way to make the slide interesting.
This technique accentuated the data and avoided the dreaded tendency that presenters default to of reading paragraphs of text from their slides.
Additionally, if credibility and verification is an issue, a simple block of text referencing the data source could have been inserted on the slide.
Let me help you discover how amazing your online or in-person slide presentation can become…
If you deliver ideas, presentations or sales pitches online these days then you probably know your old slide deck from your live presentations is, well, old and tired. And boring and ineffective.
I can help you upgrade that presentation so that it holds your audience’s attention, showcases your brilliance and powerfully delivers your message.
To get started all you need to do is schedule an affordable Presentation Review Call with me.
We will spend 60 minutes discussing your presentation and your goals. It will be all about you — no heavy-handed sales. We will see where your strengths and your weaknesses lie. And we will discuss how we can take your pitch or presentation to an amazing level of professionalism and effectiveness.
If we decide to work together that would be terrific. If not, that’s fine too. I promise you this: this call will be the most valuable hour or so you could possibly spend both on your presentation and on your business. The small fee can be applied to any future work.
You will be amazed at how powerful and effective your presentations will become.
And it all starts with a one-on-one strategy call.
