When asked to deliver a PowerPoint presentation for next week’s all-staff meeting, or one that’ll help your sales staff explain the features of your new product, many advertising people will wince and start talking about something else. And more than a few marketing managers have the same snobbish approach to slide presentations, regarding them as a “mere” low-level sales tool.

But in front of a demanding customer, the board of directors or hundreds of employees, a well thought-through presentation can spell the difference between Yes and No. And with us, you won’t have to spend days re-editing and rewriting to get it right.
