#presentation

Deliver personalized demos that convert. Pre-demo research (30 mins): 1. Company website, recent news, LinkedIn. 2. Prospect's role, responsibilities, pain points from discovery. 3. Current tools they use (from conversation or SimilarWeb). Demo customization: 1. Use prospect's company name in demo environment. 2. Import sample data relevant to their industry. 3. Show workflow that mirrors their process. 4. Address specific pain points discovered. 5. Skip features they don't care about. Opening: 'Based on our conversation, I've customized this to show...' Throughout: ask confirming questions ('Is this how you currently do it?'). End: clear CTA and next steps. Follow-up: personalized recap email with screenshots.

Restaurant plating techniques for visual impact. Rule of odds: plate 3, 5, or 7 elements. Height: build vertical elements for dimension. Color: 3-4 contrasting colors maximum. Negative space: don't overcrowd, leave 40% of plate empty. Sauce: dots, swooshes, or under the protein. Garnish: must be edible and relevant. Tools: squeeze bottles, tweezers, ring molds, offset spatula. Canvas: white plates for versatility. Explain visual flow, focal points, and Instagram appeal. Practice consistency for service.

Deliver a compelling product demo that sells. Structure: 1. Set context (recap their pain points). 2. Show the 'aha moment' first (most valuable feature). 3. Walk through their specific use case. 4. Highlight differentiators vs competitors. 5. Address concerns proactively. 6. End with clear next steps. Best practices: customize for audience, use their data/examples, keep to 30 min, make it interactive (ask questions), avoid feature dumping. Follow up with demo recording and trial access. Aim for 40%+ demo-to-opportunity conversion.

Create a quarterly board meeting presentation. Agenda: 1. Executive Summary (highlights and lowlights). 2. Financial Performance (revenue, expenses, cash position). 3. Key Metrics Dashboard (growth, retention, efficiency). 4. Product Updates (launches, roadmap). 5. Go-to-Market Progress (pipeline, wins, losses). 6. Team and Culture (hiring, org changes). 7. Strategic Initiatives and Risks. 8. Ask of the Board (decisions needed). Keep to 20-30 slides. Use appendix for detailed data. Focus on trends and insights, not just numbers.

Structure demos as compelling stories. Narrative arc: 1. Setup (current state/pain): 'Most companies handle [process] manually, which leads to [problems].' 2. Conflict (implications): 'One company I worked with was spending 40 hours/month on this, causing delayed decisions.' 3. Resolution (solution): 'Here's how we solve this.' then demo specific workflow. 4. Transformation (future state): 'Now they complete this in 2 hours and make decisions in real-time.' Story principles: be specific (use names, numbers), create relatability (similar to their situation), show don't tell (actually do it in the product vs talking about it). Pacing: slow down for key moments, pause for questions, check understanding ('Does this make sense for your workflow?'). Return to their pain points: 'Remember you mentioned [pain]? This is how we address it.' Practice delivery 10x before client-facing.
