Then we’ll cover 5 quick tips for making better PowerPoint slide decks.  We’ll discuss the importance of determining the content of your pitch deck first, even before you begin the design phase with your template. This simply means using good old-fashioned pen and paper to outline your points prior to moving into PowerPoint. Then, we move on to your pitch deck design. This includes reducing the content on each slide so as not to overwhelm your audience, as well as using the Animations feature to gradually introduce the content onto your slides in phases. We also cover the importance of mixing up your text blocks in your PowerPoint pitch deck with helpful charts and graphs that illustrate your ideas during your presentation. This will help keep the attention of your audience. Finally, we chat about importance of including your contact information at the end of your presentation. Actively asking the audience to reach out to you to continue the conversation is a fantastic way to encourage them to take the next steps you want them to take.
