A brilliant sales presentation has a number of things going for it.

Being product-centered isn’t one of them. Or simply focusing on your sales pitch won’t do the trick.

So what can you do to make your offer compelling?

From different types of slides to persuasive techniques and visuals, we’ve got you covered.

Below, we look at data-backed strategies, examples, and easy steps to build your own sales presentations in minutes.

  • Title slide: Company name, topic, tagline
  • The “Before” picture: No more than three slides with relevant statistics and graphics.
  • The “After” picture: How life looks with your product. Use happy faces.
  • Company introduction: Who you are and what you do (as it applies to them).
  • The “Bridge” slide: Short outcome statements with icons in circles.
  • Social proof slides: Customer logos with the mission statement on one slide. Pull quote on another.
  • “We’re here for you” slide: Include a call-to-action and contact information.

Many sales presentations fall flat because they ignore this universal psychological bias: People overvalue the benefits of what they have over what they’re missing.

Harvard Business School professor John T. Gourville calls this the “ 9x Effect .” Left unchecked, it can be disastrous for your business.

the psychology behind a sales presentation

According to Gourville, “It’s not enough for a new product simply to be better. Unless the gains far outweigh the losses, customers will not adopt it.”

The good news: You can influence how prospects perceive these gains and losses. One of the best ways to prove value is to contrast life before and after your product.

Luckily, there’s a three-step formula for that.

  • Before → Here’s your world…
  • After → Imagine what it would be like if…
  • Bridge → Here’s how to get there.

Start with a vivid description of the pain, present an enviable world where that problem doesn’t exist, then explain how to get there using your tool.

It’s super simple, and it works for cold emails , drip campaigns , and sales discovery decks. Basically anywhere you need to get people excited about what you have to say.

In fact, a lot of companies are already using this formula to great success. The methods used in the sales presentation examples below will help you do the same.

We’re all drawn to happiness. A study at Harvard tells us that emotion is contagious .

You’ll notice that the “Before” (pre-Digital Age) pictures in Facebook’s slides all display neutral faces. But the cover slide that introduces Facebook and the “After” slides have smiling faces on them.

This is important. The placement of those graphics is an intentional persuasion technique.

Studies by psychologists show that we register smiles faster than any other expression. All it takes is 500 milliseconds (1/20th of a second). And when participants in a study were asked to recall expressions, they consistently remembered happy faces over neutral ones.

What to do about it : Add a happy stock photo to your intro and “After” slides, and keep people in “Before” slides to neutral expressions.

Here are some further techniques used during the sales presentation:

Tactic #1: Use Simple Graphics

Use simple graphics to convey meaning without text.

Example: Slide 2 is a picture of a consumer’s hand holding an iPhone — something we can all relate to.

Why It Works: Pictures are more effective than words — it’s called  Picture Superiority . In presentations, pictures help you create connections with your audience. Instead of spoon-feeding them everything word for word, you let them interpret. This builds trust.

Tactic #2: Use Icons

Use icons to show statistics you’re comparing instead of listing them out.

Example: Slide 18 uses people icons to emphasize how small 38 out of 100 people is compared to 89 out of 100.

Why It Works:  We process visuals 60,000 times faster than text.

Tactic #3: Include Statistics

Include statistics that tie real success to the benefits you mention.

Example: “71% lift driving visits to retailer title pages” (Slide 26).

Why It Works:  Precise details prove that you are telling the truth.

Just like how you can’t drive from Marin County to San Francisco without the Golden Gate, you can’t connect a “Before” to an “After” without a bridge.

Add the mission statement of your company — something Contently does from Slide 1 of their deck. Having a logo-filled Customers slide isn’t unusual for sales presentations, but Contently goes one step further by showing you exactly what they do for these companies.

sales presentation

They then drive home the Before-After-Bridge Formula further with case studies:

sales presentation

Before : Customer’s needs when they came on

After: What your company accomplished for them

Bridge : How they got there (specific actions and outcomes)

Here are some other tactics we pulled from the sales presentation:

Tactic #1: Use Graphics/Diagrams

Use graphics, Venn diagrams, and/or equations to drive home your “Before” picture.

Why It Works:  According to a Cornell study , graphs and equations have persuasive power. They “signal a scientific basis for claims, which grants them greater credibility.”

Tactic #2: Keep Slides That Have Bullets to a Minimum

Keep slides that have bullets to a minimum. No more than one in every five slides.

Why It Works:  According to an experiment by the International Journal of Business Communication , “Subjects exposed to a graphic representation paid significantly more attention to , agreed more with, and better recalled the strategy than did subjects who saw a (textually identical) bulleted list.”

Tactic #3: Use Visual Examples

Follow up your descriptions with visual examples.

Example: After stating “15000+ vetted, ready to work journalists searchable by location, topical experience, and social media influence” on Slide 8, Contently shows what this looks like firsthand on slides 9 and 10.

Why It Works:  The same reason why prospects clamor for demos and car buyers ask for test drives. You’re never truly convinced until you see something for yourself.

Which is more effective for you?

This statement — “On average, Yesware customers save ten hours per week” — or this image:

sales presentation

The graphic shows you what that 10 hours looks like for prospects vs. customers. It also calls out a pain that the product removes: data entry.

Visuals are more effective every time. They fuel retention of a presentation from 10% to 65% .

But it’s not as easy as just including a graphic. You need to keep the design clean.

sales presentation

Can you feel it?

Clutter provokes anxiety and stress because it bombards our minds with excessive visual stimuli, causing our senses to work overtime on stimuli that aren’t important.

Here’s a tip from Yesware’s Graphic Designer, Ginelle DeAntonis:

“Customer logos won’t all necessarily have the same dimensions, but keep them the same size visually so that they all have the same importance. You should also disperse colors throughout, so that you don’t for example end up with a bunch of blue logos next to each other. Organize them in a way that’s easy for the eye, because in the end it’s a lot of information at once.”

Here are more tactics to inspire sales presentation ideas:

Tactic #1: Personalize Your Final Slide

Personalize your final slide with your contact information and a headline that drives emotion.

Example: Our Mid-Market Team Lead Kyle includes his phone number and email address with “We’re Here For You”

Why It Works: These small details show your audience that:

  • This is about giving them the end picture, not making a sale
  • The end of the presentation doesn’t mean the end of the conversation
  • Questions are welcomed

Tactic #2: Pair Outcome Statements With Icons in Circles

Example: Slide 4 does this with seven different “After” outcomes.

Why It Works:  We already know why pictures work, but circles have power , too. They imply completeness, infiniteness, and harmony.

Tactic #3: Include Specific Success Metrics

Don’t just list who you work with; include specific success metrics that hit home what you’ve done for them.

Example: 35% New Business Growth for Boomtrain; 30% Higher Reply Rates for Dyn.

Why It Works:  Social proof drives action. It’s why we wait in lines at restaurants and put ourselves on waitlists for sold-out items.

People can only focus for eight seconds at a time. (Sadly, goldfish have one second on us.)

This means you need to cut to the chase fast.

Uber’s headlines in Slides 2-9 tailor the “After” picture to specific pain points. As a result, there’s no need to explicitly state a “Before.”

sales presentation

Slides 11-13 then continue touching on “Before” problems tangentially with customer quotes:

sales presentation

So instead of self-touting benefits, the brand steps aside to let consumers hear from their peers — something that sways 92% of consumers .

Leading questions may be banned from the courtroom, but they aren’t in the boardroom.

DealTap’s slides ask viewers to choose between two scenarios over and over. Each has an obvious winner:

sales presentation example

Ever heard of the Focusing Effect?

It’s part of what makes us tick as humans and what makes this design move effective. We focus on one thing and then ignore the rest. Here, DealTap puts the magnifying glass on paperwork vs. automated transactions.

Easy choice.

Sure, DealTap’s platform might have complexities that rival paperwork, but we don’t think about that. We’re looking at the pile of work one the left and the simpler, single interface on the right.

Here are some other tactics to use in your own sales presentation:

Tactic #1: Tell a Story

Tell a story that flows from one slide to the next.

Example: Here’s the story DealTap tells from slides 4 to 8: “Transactions are complicated” → “Expectations on all sides” → “Too many disconnected tools” → “Slow and error prone process” → “However, there’s an opportunity.

Why It Works:   Storytelling in sales with a clear beginning and end (or in this case, a “Before” and “After”) trigger a trust hormone called Oxytocin.

Tactic #2: This vs. That

If it’s hard to separate out one “Before” and “After” vision with your product or service because you offer many dissimilar benefits, consider a “This vs. That” theme for each.

Why It Works:  It breaks up your points into simple decisions and sets you up to win emotional reactions from your audience with stock photos.

Remember how satisfying it was to play connect the dots? Forming a bigger picture out of disconnected circles.

That’s what you need to make your audience do.

commonthread

Zuora tells a story by:

  • Laying out the reality (the “Before” part of the Before-After-Bridge formula).
  • Asking you a question that you want to answer (the “After”)
  • Giving you hints to help you connect the dots
  • Showing you the common thread (the “Bridge”)

You can achieve this by founding your sales presentation on your audience’s intuitions. Set them up with the closely-set “dots,” then let them make the connection.

Here are more tactical sales presentation ideas to steal for your own use:

Tactic #1: Use Logos and Testimonials

Use logos and  testimonial pull-quotes for your highest-profile customers to strengthen your sales presentation.

Example: Slides 21 to 23 include customer quotes from Schneider Electric, Financial Times, and Box.

Why It Works: It’s called  social proof . Prospects value other people’s opinions and trust reputable sources more than you.

Tactic #2: Include White Space

Pad your images with white space.

Example: Slide 17 includes two simple graphics on a white background to drive home an important concept.

Why It Works:  White space creates separation, balance, and attracts the audience’s eyes to the main focus: your image.

Tactic #3: Incorporate Hard Data

Incorporate hard data with a memorable background to make your data stand out.

Example: Slide 5 includes statistics with a backdrop that stands out. The number and exciting title (‘A Global Phenomenon’) are the main focuses of the slide.

Why It Works:  Vivid backdrops are proven to be memorable and help your audience take away important numbers or data.

Psychology tells us that seeing colors can set our mood .

The color red is proven to increase the pulse and heart rate. Beyond that, it’s associated with being active, aggressive, and outspoken. LinkedIn Sales Navigator uses red on slides to draw attention to main points:

red

You can use hues in your own slides to guide your audience’s emotions. Green gives peace; grey adds a sense of calm; blue breeds trust. See more here .

Tip: You can grab free photos from Creative Commons and then set them to black & white and add a colored filter on top using a (also free) tool like Canva . Here’s the sizing for your image:

canvaimage

Caveat: Check with your marketing team first to see if you have a specific color palette or brand guidelines to follow.

Here are some other takeaways from LinkedIn’s sales presentation:

Tactic #1: Include a CTA on Final Slide

Include one clear call-to-action on your final slide.

Example: Slide 9 has a “Learn More” CTA button.

Why It Works:  According to the Paradox of Choice , the more options you give, the less likely they are to act.

Step One : Ask marketing for your company’s style guide (color, logo, and font style).

Step Two: Answer these questions to outline the “Before → After → Bridge” formula for your sales pitch :

  • What are your ICP’s pain points?
  • What end picture resonates with them?
  • How does your company come into play?

Step Three: Ask account management/marketing which customers you can mention in your slides (plus where to access any case studies for pull quotes).

Step Four:  Download photos from Creative Commons . Remember: Graphics > Text. Use Canva to edit on your own — free and fast.

10 Best Sales Presentations To Inspire Your Sales Deck [+ 5 Tips]

Meredith Hart

Published: August 17, 2022

While many salespeople focus on making their sales decks flashy, fun, and exciting, they do little to ensure that their presentations address the prospect's top concerns and offer an irresistible solution.

sales rep uses sales deck during presentation with prospects

As a result, many presentations are met with wishy-washy responses that drag along the sales process and waste valuable time.

What does a great sales deck look like? We'll take a look at some of the best, and provide tips for creating your own stellar sales deck and presentation.

What is a sales deck?

A sales deck is a slide presentation (e.g., PowerPoint, Keynote, etc.) used to supplement a sales pitch. The sales pitch, given by a salesperson to a prospect, often includes an overview of the product or service, offers a value proposition and solution for the prospect, and includes examples of success stories from other clients.

The primary purpose of a sales deck and presentation is to introduce a solution (ie, your pitch ) that ultimately leads the prospect to purchase from your company.

If you've done everything right during the discovery process — digging deep into your prospect's challenges and understanding exactly what they need — only to get a noncommittal response, then your presentation needs some major adjusting.

Sales Deck vs Pitch Deck

A sales deck is a pitch meant to convince a prospect to make a purchase by showcasing your product features, benefits, and value proposition.

A pitch deck , on the other hand, is usually created for investors who want to learn more about your company, vision, products, financials, and target audience. Think of the pitch deck more like a synthesized version of your business plan.

Ready to see some sales deck examples? Here are a few of the best, in no particular order.

Sales Deck Examples

  • UpstartWorks
  • Attention Media
  • Leadgeeks.io

1. Leadnomics Sales Deck by Katya Kovalenko

sales deck examples: leadnomics

Leadnomics has done something few companies successfully do in presentations: Showcase their brand identity.

The internet marketing agency hired a designer to create a sales deck that reflected their sleek, techie brand.

So while prospects learn about Leadnomics and what it offers, they can also get a peek into what it represents as a brand.

2. UpstartWorks Sales Deck by BrightCarbon

This slide deck for UpstartWorks starts with an image of the road to success, followed by a value proposition and a list of benefits buyers can enjoy from working with the company. They provide an overview of what they deliver to customers, who their clients are, and the results their customer base has seen.

The sales deck touches on all the key points a sales presentation should cover. And when it includes graphics and logos, they are clearly organized and not cluttered.

3. QS Sales Deck by BrightCarbon

QS , a platform that ranks colleges and universities, effectively uses icons and visuals throughout its sales deck to communicate its messages. At just a few slides, this is one of the shortest sales decks featured on this list.

If you’re going to make your sales deck short, make sure the information you include gets straight to the point, and be sure to front-load the most important information.

In terms of content, QS showcases its features, value proposition, and client impact.

4. Attention Media Sales Deck by Slides

Attention Media , a B2B creative agency, hired a presentation design agency to create a sales deck that features statistics and reasons businesses should work with them.

Key figures and messages are either in a bold, large, or bright font to make them stand out from the rest of the text.

While their slide deck is on the shorter side (the typical presentation is around 10 to 15 slides ), they include intriguing visuals and statistics that grab attention and keep viewers interested.

5. Freshworks Sales Deck by BrightCarbon

Freshworks is a B2B software platform that promises an all-in-one package for businesses. Its sales deck emphasizes simple text and organization. The problem and solution are introduced using graphics, which makes the text easier for readers to prioritize.

They include a dedicated slide to their mobile app, one of the product’s key differentiators and most salient benefits. The following slides provide a step-by-step walkthrough of how customers are onboarded and what they can expect on a regular basis.

Since the slides aren’t text-heavy, the salesperson can easily elaborate and answer any questions the prospect might have.

6. Soraa Sales Deck by BrightCarbon

Soraa , a lighting company, starts its sales deck with a visually appealing table of contents that contains three items: “Quality of light,” “Simply perfect light,” and “Why Soraa?”

The brand then dives into what its prospects care about most: How the light will look in their spaces and how they can apply Soraa’s offerings to their specific use case. It sprinkles in the benefits of using Soraaa as a lighting supplier. And it does this all while maintaining its strong branding.

7. Planetly Sales Deck by OCHI Design

The first thing Planetly does in its sales presentation is present an eye-catching statistic about customers wanting more eco-friendly brands. Then, they present the reasons behind that data.

The deck doesn't overwhelm prospects with too much text, opting for more graphics and visuals instead. It introduces a hard-hitting stat about the problem their prospect is facing, engages them by asking a question, and provides a solution to the issue.

The slide deck continues to outline specific product details and what sets the solution apart from others, ultimately leading to a slide that represents the expected outcome for the prospect.

8. MEOM Sales Deck by Katya Kovalenko

What you’ll first notice when scrolling through MEOM's sales deck is that it’s straightforward and easy to scan.

The brand kept it simple with their deck, making it easier for consumers to take in the information. Too often, companies overload their decks with information, and by the end of the presentation, consumers can’t remember anything.

On every slide, MEOM has one main message with supporting information in smaller font. In addition, the brand incorporates a detailed look at one of its staff members — a powerful tool when trying to attract consumers.

9. Leadgeeks.io Sales Deck by Paweł Mikołajek

Sometimes, the best way to explain a concept is through a series of process maps and timelines. In this sales deck, Leadgeeks.io takes this approach to explain its product process and onboarding process.

This method helps consumers visualize how this software will help them reach their goals and how they can adopt it at their business.

10. Accern Sales Deck by Katya Kovalenko

Similar to Leadnomics, software company Accern puts its branding at the forefront of the sales deck.

In addition to the use of design to make the sales deck stand out, Accern also highlights customer case studies in its deck, another form of social proof that shows the success other customers have found with this tool.

Each of these presentations provides a general overview of the products, problems, and solutions, and they can easily be tailored and customized to each prospective company. A custom presentation not only piques the prospect's interest but also increases the likelihood that they'll buy from you.

Curious as to how you can word your presentation during your meeting with prospects? Below, we go over the best examples we’ve seen so far.

Example Sales Presentation

While there are plenty of videos online on how to deliver a sales presentation, there aren’t quite as many live sales presentations to watch.

That’s because sales presentations are delivered in the privacy of a meeting between the sales rep and the prospect, and are often not recorded with the intention of sharing online.

As a sales rep, though, you have an excellent resource for inspiration: explainer videos. Companies publish explainer videos to pitch their products to qualified leads. (Sound familiar?) Use the below examples to hone your own pitch to buyers, and pay close attention to the structure of each video.

This explainer video for Leadjet starts with an urgent problem: Finding leads on LinkedIn and moving them to a CRM loses valuable time and minimizes lead opportunities. Leadjet then presents its product as the solution.

The video jumps into the benefits users can enjoy, such as synchronizing conversations over both your CRM and LinkedIn, keeping the lead status updated, and adding custom details. In this video, Leadjet follows the ideal sales presentation structure: problem, solution, and benefits.

2. Node Influencer App

The Node influencer app allows small business owners to connect with influencers on social media. It starts its video with a simple question: “Looking to promote your brand with social influencers?” The presentation effectively identifies and addresses the target market before pitching the product to viewers.

This presentation is more tutorial-based, making it ideal inspiration if you’re creating a sales deck for someone who’s closer to making a decision. People most often want to see actionable demos when they’re ready to choose a provider.

This explainer video from Upsend, a former customer service software, begins with a problem: Most customers want instant responses to their queries, but customer service systems can be expensive for new companies. Enter Upsend.

The presenter addresses the target market — startups and small businesses — while assuaging their concerns about budget. In addition, it covers the most important features of the platform and the end result for the user. If Upsend were still available, this would be a product a new business would immediately want to add to their tech stack.

4. Algoplanner

Within a few seconds of the start of this presentation, Algoplanner drives home the critical urgency of adopting a supply chain software. It uses a scary number to pull your attention, citing a possible “loss of millions of dollars” if you fail to adopt the right tool.

It then introduces its product with a breakdown of what the software can do for users. Plus, it provides powerful stats to back up its claims, including that users can reduce automation development costs by 80%. The call to action at the end is powerful and simple, telling viewers to schedule a demo.

Sales Deck Presentation Tips

Ready for your presentation? Sticking to these five simple sales presentation guidelines, recommended by Marc Wayshak , will help you blow your competition away while dramatically increasing your chances of closing the sale.

1. Lead with solutions.

Have you ever met with a prospect who was excited about your product or service – and used your presentation to keep on selling? This is called over-selling, and it's the leading cause of death for sales presentations.

When you start your presentation, first lead with solutions. Don't talk about the benefits of your product's features or tell the prospect how great your company is.

Simply dive into how you're going to solve the deepest frustration your prospect is facing right now.

2. Incorporate case studies.

Once you've addressed the specific solutions you can provide to the prospect, it's time to add some color to your presentation.

Turn your sales presentation into an engaging story by sharing case studies of similar prospects and the results they've achieved with your help.

This step is important for building trust and credibility with the prospect. At the same time, case studies bring your solutions to life in the real world, making your presentation more engaging.

3. Ask for feedback throughout.

Most presentations are a one-way monologue by the salesperson. This approach is boring – and it's certainly no way to connect with a prospect.

Instead, ask short questions throughout your presentation like "Does that make sense?" or "Can you see how this would work for you?" Asking for feedback periodically ensures your prospect stays on the same page.

4. Welcome interruptions.

If you want to close more sales, you have to care about what your prospect is thinking throughout your presentation.

Any interruption is the perfect opportunity to find out. Whenever a prospect interrupts you – either with a verbal remark or subtle shift in their facial expression or posture – stop immediately.

Acknowledge the interruption, and welcome the opportunity to explore it with the prospect. Never ignore signals just to stay on a roll and conclude your point. Invite prospects to ask their questions or share their concerns.

The opportunity to respond to those concerns is always more valuable than whatever you were about to say.

5. Wrap it up quickly.

Your presentation should be ASAP: as short as possible.

It's natural for salespeople to get excited about what they have to share, but this causes most of them to ramble on for far too long.

Prospects only care about themselves and their challenges. Present the information they'll be interested in and nothing more.

Practice your next sales presentation with a colleague or friend and ask for their honest feedback on its length.

How to Use PowerPoint To Sell Your Product Or Service

PowerPoint slideshows are now an important part of business presentations and in an instructional setting. They engage the audience and convince clients to buy your idea. Whether you are looking to make a visual impact or impress people with key statistics, PowerPoint presentations can be very effective. Here’s how you can use PowerPoint to sell a product or service:

Good presentations begin with a script:

Most business presentations are made by stringing together some key facts and statistics. Although, there’s a lot of focus on the design elements, there’s no content and hence fail to connect with the audience. These presentations fail because they’re generic and hardly ever relevant to the end user. Writing an effective PowerPoint presentation begins with a strong script. They do not overwhelm the audience with too much information, yet present a compelling story. It should explain viewers how your product or service is likely to solve your problem. A good script focuses on the benefits of the product or service and not on the features. The slides should be a medium to present your idea and not the other way round.

Good presentations include good design but they’re not cheesy:

PowerPoint presentations usually follow a few design principles like aligning texts in the left or right, but never in the center. This is because centered text is difficult to read and isn’t visually appealing. When it comes to text color, the general rule is to use dark text on a light background, unless your company uses another template. Arial, Helvetica, etc. are some of the commonly used text because they’re easy to read.

Use images effectively:

We all know that powerful images can stick to a reader’s mind, but they should be used to send a compelling messaging. More often than not, PowerPoint presentations include images that are added just for the sake of it – some images are pixilated while others have copyright issues. Sometimes, images aren’t used at all and sometimes, designers use too many. Choose pictures that relate to the theme of the slide and if you have to use multiple images, make sure that they’re arranged aesthetically. Using cliparts on PowerPoint slides is so old-fashioned. They add no value to the presentation and make it look tacky. And if you have to use cropped images, compose them thoughtfully. You do not want to add images that are improperly cropped with someone’s feet or fingers missing.

Don’t make the content too wordy:

A common problem with most business presentations is that they’re too wordy. This is especially the case where designers use bullet points to illustrate a point. Good presentations make use of content sparingly, but rely on factors such as images, statistical analysis, etc. to appeal to the end user.  In fact, good presentation experts follow the 80-20 rule, i.e. users are likely to remember only 10 % of the content when you fill it with a lot of content. But when you add images, they are likely to remember around 65% of the content. This is because our minds are tuned to process visual information better than text or sound. If you’re presentation includes explaining things in detail to the audience, try creating two separate presentations, one can be used to showcase things and the other could be referenced while presenting the idea. People with such presentations are likely to remember them long after the purpose is served.

Think out of the box:

You could either come up with crazy ideas and themes for the presentation or stick to routine templates. If your aim is to help the viewers relate to your content, you have to pay attention to your dressing sense as well.  Good business presentations focus on the presenter’s body language, dressing style, and even gestures. A strong and positive body language gives out the image that you are credible and worth trusting. It also shows that you are in control of things and can be relied upon.

Should include a call to action:

If the end objective of your presentation is to convince the viewer about the effectiveness of your product or service, remember to include a call to action. The PowerPoint slideshow should focus on the targeted audience, i.e., whom are you selling the product, what is the prospective customer’s most likely concern, and what are his immediate goals.

Over the years, PowerPoint has often been criticized for being too outdated and not up to the desired quality. However, not many realize that it is a tool just as Prezi, SlideRocket, or Wix. If you fill it with bad content and patchy design, your presentation will look bad and amateurish. But if you use it well, you can create a powerful presentation – one that wows prospective customers.

A Sales Presentation is used to inform potential customers about the benefits and features of your product or service. Sales managers and business development professionals often use it to showcase their products or services to their stakeholders and potential customers to generate interest and leads.

An effective Sales Presentation must be able to introduce the product or service and sell it. Many people view Sales Presentations as showcasing the product or service, but you can use them to reach a broader audience and take them through their buyer journey from leads to sales.

Using Sales Templates is crucial for your business growth as they provide a consistent visual look for your presentations. They also help to save time and resources by providing pre-designed layouts, charts, and graphics that you can easily customize to fit the specific needs of your presentation. Hence, it helps you focus on the content of the presentation and the message you want to convey rather than spending time creating design elements from scratch.

Sales Templates can also improve your presentation effectiveness by providing a visual guide for the audience. Using charts, graphics, and other design elements can make complex information understandable and provide a more engaging experience for your audience. It ultimately leads to more leads, sales, and better communication with potential customers, which is the ultimate goal of any sales presentation.

What is a Sales Presentation?

A Sales Presentation is a formal or informal template used to inform and persuade potential customers about a product or service. It is used to inform potential customers about the benefits and features of your product or service. Sales managers use it, and business development professionals showcase their products or services to potential customers, generating interest and leads.

What is the difference between a Sales Presentation and a Sales Pitch?

The major difference between a Sales Presentation and a Sales Pitch is the scope and duration of the presentation.

A Sales Presentation is a more detailed and comprehensive presentation that provides in-depth information about the product or service. At the same time, a Sales Pitch is a shorter, more focused presentation designed to persuade the customer to purchase or take a specific action.

What are the 7 steps to making a good sales pitch?

The seven steps to making a good sales pitch include:

  • Identifying the target audience.
  • Researching the product or service.
  • Creating a clear and compelling message.
  • Tailoring the pitch to the audience.
  • Building rapport with the customer.
  • Addressing objections and concerns.
  • Closing the sale.

What should be in a sales presentation?

A Sales Presentation should include the following:

  • An introduction of the product or service.
  • Detailed information about the features and benefits of the product or service.
  • Testimonials or case studies from satisfied customers.
  • Comparison of the product or service to competitors.
  • Information about the company and its history.
  • A call to action.
  • A Q&A session.

You consider using accurate graphical visual design elements such as charts, graphs, and images to help illustrate the information and make the presentation more engaging.

  • Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Planning a PowerPoint Sales Presentation

When creating a sales presentation using a powerful application like PowerPoint, it’s tempting to run the program and explore all of the cool slides that you can create. The animations and slide transitions are fun. So, too, is the ability to add music and videos to your sales presentation. By contrast, the text of your sales presentation, and the supporting images, are dull and boring.

Resist the temptation to focus on the technology. You won’t close the sale by creating a stunning slideshow. You’ll only sell your product or service if you create a powerful, cogent presentation about the benefits of the product or service that you sell. And that requires a well-written, well-illustrated set of PowerPoint slides.

Focus on the Prize

The goal of your PowerPoint sales presentation is to sell product or service to your prospect. Your entire slideshow has to lead your prospects, step by step, to make a buying decision. Avoid the temptation to create dazzling special effects that become the center of attention.

Your PowerPoint presentation has to match the product or service that you’re selling:

  • If you’re offering retirement investment products, then your sales presentation needs to be clear, conservative, and professional.
  • If you’re marketing a vacation package that takes singles to the hottest European nightclubs, then your sales presentation needs to be dramatic and compelling.
  • If you’re selling a turnkey enterprise business software solution, then your PowerPoint slides have to be modern and high-tech.

At the end of your presentation, the decision-maker in the audience might say, “Wow, that was a beautiful presentation.” If so, then you’ve failed. You’ve impressed your prospect with your ability to craft a visually appealing PowerPoint sales presentation. But you didn’t convince her to buy your product or service. You didn’t focus on the prize.

Choose Your Words Carefully

You may be selling a complex retirement investment package. But you cannot assume that your prospects understand the language of finance and investments. You need to translate your sales message into the language understood by the audience that you’re addressing.

If the vacation package that you’re selling is designed to appeal to young single people, then you have to speak to them in a language that they’ll understand. A safe choice is to speak in conversational English. Use common words to form short, clear sentences. A risky alternative would be to try to speak to people in their teens and twenties in a language that they would find natural. Be aware, however, that middle-aged people who try to talk like teenagers often sound ridiculous. You’re not going to sell any product or service if your sales presentation is viewed as contrived and insincere by your target audience.

If you’re selling computer services, you cannot assume that your audience is computer literate. Tech talk will confuse non-technical people. And confused people won’t buy the product or service that you’re offering. You sell business software to business people by speaking in plain English, and not by using computer jargon.

It’s Not About PowerPoint

PowerPoint is a superb software application. But it shouldn’t be the focus of your sales presentation. Use PowerPoint as a tool. Create a professional presentation with clear text and graphics. But focus on the sale, and not the technology.

Tourist shop fined for selling ‘Yakutat alpaca’ products

Posted by Meredith Redick | Feb 14, 2024

A Denali-area clothing store has been fined over $50,000 after claiming to sell products made from Yakutat alpaca , which don’t exist. KCAW’s Meredith Redick spoke with Alaska Beacon’s James Brooks about the mythical mammal that raised red flags for state investigators, and the broader trend of fake souvenirs that claim to be made in Alaska. 

KCAW: Give us a basic summary of what happened here.

BROOKS: One of the things that’s in state law is something that says something that’s labeled as “Made in Alaska” actually has to be made in Alaska. And in this case, investigators got a tip that a shop outside Denali National Park was selling products that were made in Alaska, or at least that’s what the owners said. And in some of the cases, they were saying that their wool products were made from alpaca wool from Yakutat. And as anybody who lives in Yakutat knows, there’s just not any alpacas there.

KCAW: Okay, so Yakutat alpacas. Can you give us more detail about what exactly was happening in this shop?

BROOKS: So in the case of this store, outside Denali National Park, the folks were apparently importing things from Asia, importing things from Nepal, wool products, and taking off the labels and then putting on “Made in Alaska” labels. 

KCAW: So for someone in Southeast, I think “Yakutat alpacas” would immediately raise a red flag. Are they able to do this more easily because the shop is targeted towards tourists?

BROOKS: I imagine this kind of thing would have been caught quickly had it been in – or at least more quickly – had it been in Southeast Alaska, where it’s pretty clear that there’s not any alpacas around here. But in this case, it seems like it was caught fairly quickly. The Department of Law sent an undercover investigator, who overheard them talking with prospective customers. And then they came back the next month, and he was greeted immediately at the door by one of the proprietors who said without prompting, “You are in the truly tribal store of Alaska from Yakutat.” And so that seems like it’s a pretty blatant claim.

KCAW: So they had wool that they were saying was made from Yakutat alpacas. They also had other things like decorative ponchos, right?

BROOKS: Yeah, exactly. Things that really, if you’ve been in Alaska, look more like things from the Lower 48 or even from South America, more than from Alaska.

KCAW: Tell me about what happened to the shop. After the investigation, what kinds of fines did they have to pay?

BROOKS: So the shop will end up paying, according to the settlement agreement, $53,000 to the state, and that’ll be spread out over several years. And in addition to that, the shop has to notify the state, if it’s selling any products being made in Alaska, they have to provide advance notice to the state and include details about the product, and a whole bunch of other things that will be particularly time-consuming for this store to do. And that agreement will last five years. So they’re effectively on probation for five years, in addition to having to pay the fine.

KCAW: James, what are the practical consequences of something like this? Why is the state putting energy into finding these stores?

BROOKS: When I’ve talked with federal officials in the past, they said the reason for cracking down on things like this is that it can harm actual tribal artists. If people are importing things cheaply from overseas and trying to pass them off as actual Alaska-made products, that degrades the market for tribally-made artifacts and things and crafts that are made by people who live here. Those tend to be more expensive, because they’re handmade. They take time, they take practice to get good at this. And so if people are selling knockoffs, that’s money that’s being taken away from Alaskans and Alaska communities.

KCAW: And, James, you mentioned a trend. Just how widespread do we think this problem is in Alaska?

BROOKS: That’s a big question. We don’t know. We don’t have hard figures on how big the market is for illegitimate “Made in Alaska” products. We know it exists. And we know that as the number of tourists coming to Alaska increases, the market for those products will increase as well, which is why it’s important for the state and federal officials to keep cracking down.
