FORMULA FOR A
WINNING PRESENTATION
DESIGN
QUESTION: HYPOTHESIS:
How do I design a
presentation that will
get a prospect to say
"yes"?
Successful, compelling
presentations all have
the same common
elements.
RESEARCH:
First impressions are made within
of
meeting
someone.5
MINUTES
The average adult attention span is
8SECONDS
That's less
than a
goldfish!

PERIODIC ELEMENTS OF
A SUCCESSFUL SALES PRESENTATION
Combine these
elements to create
the formula for a
compelling sales
presentation. It's not
rocket science!*
* Not an actual quote from Albert Einstein.
OPENING SLIDE
First impressions are made within
of
meeting
someone.
5
MINUTES
Your first slide is the
equivalent of your
presentation's first
impression.
Capture your
audience's attention
with a killer opening
slide.
TIP:
Use eye-catching visuals,
concise language or music to
open up your presentation in
order to draw your audience in.
STORY LINE
Your presentation should tell a story with your prospect as the main
character. Develop your story through these elements:
PLOTBegin with a thesis and support
it with data. SETTING
CHARACTERS
CONFLICT
CONCLUSION
Set the stage with an
overview of your message.
Who's involved &
describe their impact.
What is the barrier standing
in the way of a perfect
solution?
Provide actionable tasks
that will lead to your
characters'
perfect solution.
UNLEASH THE DATA
TOULMIN METHOD
OF ARGUMENTATION
A tried and true method
to establish credibility
during your presentation
is to use data. Use the popular Toulmin
method, created by British
philosopher Stephen Toulmin, to
get your point across. The
method states that several
examples of evidence (or data)
are required to establish the
validation of an argument and
subsequent conclusion.
