How
To Make Your
Presentation Powerful
To be effective,
the presentation must include charts, graphs, and pictures. PowerPoint slides
with only words get boring very quickly, and will never be memorable. However,
do not use cute or inexpensive graphics simply to have something other than
words on your slides. Remember that you are asking these money sources to put
meaningful resources into your business. Your graphics should powerfully support
your message and instill confidence in your business proposition.
Your presentation
should be suitable for both hard copy and a projection on a large screen. It
should be colorful and suitable as a leave behind that can be absorbed after you
leave. This means that animation and video that might work in a live
presentation should be used only if powerful; even then, a means must be
provided to be sure the message is not lost in your leave-behind when viewed
days or weeks later.
You will have very
little time to make a good first impression. If you are lucky, you will have an
hour to present the ideas that have taken months to develop. You should time the
above presentation and change it if it is more than 45 minutes. You will need to
allow time for interruptions, questions, and late starts, yet still be done in
an hour.
Get advice on your
presentation from a businessperson who is not (i) intimately involved in the
project, and (i) afraid to give you harsh but constructive comments. If this
friendly advisor does not "get it", then your financing source
probably will not either.
