Need Help With Your Lead Presentations?

  1. Create presentations / documents that are about your business and that people will want to download. Upload whitepapers about your business.
  2. Work with a professional designer. Browse SlideShare and look for design inspiration.
  3. Keep it short & sweet! 10 slides (or 4 pages) is the recommended length. But it really depends on your design / writing skills. There are great presentations that are much longer.
  4. Think about the keywords you want to be found with, and use them in your document title. Tag it with appropriate keywords. Use them in the text of the document / presentation.
  5. Have a call to action: If you are selling a service / or product, don't lead with it. Start by talking about the domain generally. Then introduce your product. Finally end with a strong call to action (e.g. "To start your free trial, click here").
