     ’
DON TS your
presentation
can DO without
Don’t Impose
To sell harder, you speak softer.
Use plenty of suggestive words.

                              Flickr | by maxw
Don’t Mimic
Keep up with the times. But imitate
every fad, and your audience will
realize that there’s no insight from
your end. No real contribution.
                                       Flickr | by evilpeacock
Don’t Grovel
                           Never plead. Instead, reason with your
                          audience. Demand their attention, subtly.

           Don’t Waver
   Take a side and stand by it. Use reassuring
adjectives. Sound neutral and you could come
          off as unconfident. Or worse, boring!
Don’t Lie
                             You’d be surprised, how much
                             statistics are “calculated.” Your
                        projections today, could influence a
                                   major decision tomorrow.
                                                 Keep it real.
Flickr | by fi_chince
Don’t Gripe
Even if you have to make an
alarming point, don’t complain.
Reason. Avoid using negative
adjectives. “You’re not good
enough” is better than
“You suck!”




                                  Flickr | by sergis blog
Don’t Pun
  Unless you know your
  audience well enough to
  throw in a few, don’t. Puns
  are brain farts. Steer clear of
  them. They add no value.




Flickr | by ohdarling
Don’t Quote
  In pithy words or digits. The former is a sad
 excuse for filling empty spaces. The latter just
 shows you’re greedy. Use the slides to show
what you have to offer. Quote and sell, later.

                                         Flickr | by nickb_rock
Don’t Prolong
                         It’s a slideshow, not a lecture. Be crisp
                                and brief. Use shorter sentences.

Don’t Scream
Metaphorically, of course. No flashy colors or
unusually large text. AVOID USING UPPER
CASE ALL THE TIME. They will still get it!
Now that you know how,
and where it can go

WRONG

It's time you met the PROs,
who put the SHOW in
