Powerpoint Presentations Are Boring
I personally don't care much for powerpoint presentations and in a recent meeting, I made it known.
Just the other day, I went to meet with an Agency to discuss Intrapromote's core competencies in SEO/SEM. Of course, I had to have the obligatory PPT highlighting clients, accolades, services, etc.
About half way through the powerpoint, I did something I’ve never done before. I looked at the group and said something along these lines – “powerpoints are boring. I’d like to switch gears and start asking/answering questions�.
Once I stopped the powerpoint, the meeting went on for another hour and tons of knowledge was gained for both parties at hand thus maximizing our time together.
In the future, I plan on continuing to do powerpoint presentations for prospects, but find more value in having a discussion as opposed to the ol’ dog and pony show of PPT’s.
Maybe I should bring a PPT to my next face-to-face meeting and have one slide that says: “Today, we’re not having a Powerpoint�. J/K…or am I???
