"Dave, you took my basic presentation, inserted video clips and taught me 3 stellar techniques to escalate it to a polished, professional presentation. Thank you for your help. You are fast, supportive and great to work with. Well done."

"You were able to step in and immediately help determine the best technical positioning to accommodate Client plans to use the presentation at many different sites worldwide.

For high-stakes presentations where you need more assistance in developing the content and visuals, I follow these steps with my clients:

1. We meet in person or over the telephone to discuss the structure of the presentation - what is the presentation goal, what type of presentation is it, who is the audience, what are the key points that need to be made.

2. We discuss the overall look and feel of the presentation.  I prepare a master look based on this discussion.

3. You do the research to back up each of the key points with sub-points such as facts, statistics, quotes, stories, analogies or examples.

4. We prepare the text of each slide based on the key points and related sub-points.

5. We discuss and prepare slide graphics, such as clip art, photos, diagrams and illustrations.

6. We discuss and agree on animations to be used to give the best effect for each slide.

7. I assemble the presentation based on all discussions.

8. You review the presentation and give your comments.

9. The presentation is revised based on the insights you have provided.

10. The final presentation is delivered to you.

"David Paradi from ThinkOutsidetheSlide.com worked with our company, VISTA International, turning a drab, unsuccessful, unappealing sales presentation into a masterful sales tool that will elevate our sales potential - all over the phone. Over the course of a few months David Paradi led us step-by-step to a better way to present, not just a better presentation. Through conference calls, we first discussed the goal of the presentation and from there simplified a 45 slide PowerPoint file to 18 poignant presentation slides that will sell the product, not confuse the buyer with overly detailed and cramped slides. Our niche market and product was not a factor to David in helping us reach our presentation goals. He asks the right questions to guide you to improving your presentation the way it needs to work for your audience. Thanks to David Paradi, we now have a presentation that will lead prospects down the path to purchase."
Angela Trilli, Marketing, VISTA International

"I can confidently say my sales have already increased as a result of this astounding presentation. My clients are actually requesting copies of my presentation for their use, which never occurred beforehand."
Liz Akey, Regional Director Sales & Marketing for Intrawest Destination Resorts

Not all clients require all ten steps, especially if the project is revising a set of slides that already exists, but we should discuss all of them to make sure what you have assembled is sufficient.  Many of my projects do not involve face-to-face meetings and can be done via e-mail and telephone.

"David assisted me with my PowerPoint presentation for the NSA convention in February and did a superb job dramatically enhancing the quality & effectiveness of my presentation. I do not hesitate to recommend him to you."
Brian Lee, Certified Speaking Professional
