Keep it Simple \u00a0<\/strong>One of the chief acronyms for presenting is the “KISS” principle. \u00a0This stands for “Keep it Succinct and Simple”. \u00a0Some individuals go for the other meaning of “Keep it Simple, Stupid”. \u00a0Whichever one you prefer, being concise and direct with both wording and Powerpoint format is key to making a good presentation and ultimately – being a great presenter.<\/p>\n Limit Bullet Points and Text \u00a0<\/strong>As a presenter, one of the worst things you can do is have a “messy” slide deck. \u00a0This can be thought of as sloppy and even uneducated. \u00a0In order to look professional, you must count on the slide deck to be a supplement to YOUR presentation. \u00a0Do not put what you are going to say word for word on the slide deck… that alleviates the need for a presenter!<\/p>\n Use High Quality Graphics \u00a0<\/strong>The point of using a slide deck is to paint a memorable picture in the mind of the audience member. \u00a0You cannot do that if you don’t have high quality graphics. \u00a0Also, it is important to know how to edit a picture within Powerpoint or whatever it is you’re using – setting a background as transparent goes a long way!<\/p>\n Utilize Color and Font \u00a0<\/strong>Slide decks are rectangles – \u00a0they can be boring! \u00a0Make your rectangles less boring and even exciting by using colors and fonts that bring out your content and formats your slides nicely. \u00a0Powerpoint does a great job with certain designs to pick from already in the system! \u00a0In addition, there are downloadable online design templates that can really add some extra flare to your presentation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In this digital age, many presenters and salespeople alike have been taking to Powerpoints, Prezi’s, or other slide decks to effectively and efficiently communicate with their audience. \u00a0Whether it be one on one or one on thousands, a great Powerpoint has the power Keep it Simple \u00a0One of the chief acronyms for presenting is the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":95,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3291","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/startupsales\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3291","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/startupsales\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/startupsales\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/startupsales\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/95"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/startupsales\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3291"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/startupsales\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3291\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3292,"href":"https:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/startupsales\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3291\/revisions\/3292"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/startupsales\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/startupsales\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gccwebsites.com\/startupsales\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
