52
The flow of the
presentation

53
There has to be a flow in the story you are trying to say with
the presentation. Below what this means in practice
All pieces fit-in together
Messages ≈ Data on the slide
Logical structure
Internally coherent chapters and
sections
Not too many slides
Not too repetitive
Good pace
There has to be “so what….and
next steps”
Avoid interesting but not useful
category
Fewer detours

54
How to deliver the presentation

55
Rules for delivering
successful presentation

56
When you are delivering the presentation people want to listen to
YOU and not read the presentation. It should just support what you
are saying. You should not be a slave of the presentation

57
I recommend delivering to the following rules when delivering the
presentation
Start from the result to attract
their attention
Practice the presentation before
– 5-10 times
Have ipad with the presentation
or printed version next to you
Do away with most of the text –
go down to 50 slides
Leave main massages and
supporting materials (charts,
data)
Go slowly / use animation for
some slides
Be ready to switch to another
section
Have the long version with
detailed slides with you
Have all the analyses supporting
the slides with you
Prepare the people for what
they will see ahead of delivery

59
There are 2 types of presentations

Customer had to literally hunt for the sales rep

We have totally reorganized the advising process performed by store
employee (sales reps)
Main area of service
Additional area he can service if
there are no customers in his area
The line around which he was
walking
“Fast product area “– here the
sales rep should stick to servicing
the customer below 2 minutes and
trying to serve as many customers
as possible
Fast product area “– here the sales
rep should try to increase the
basket, average transaction value
and to convince the customer to
buy more complimentary goods

118
75%/25% - 75% is doing customer
service (advises); 25% is
replenishing the shelves
We have adjusted the tasks performed by sales rep according to the flow
of customers

119
We have drastically improve the internal logistics within the store by
placing all necessary equipment in the store

One of the ways to calculate the loss is to calculated the
wasted time of workers
Number of workers x Duration of downtime x # of downtimes =
Total wasted man-
hours
Total wasted man-

x Per hour wage = Daily loss

154
One of the ways to calculate the loss is to calculated the
wasted time of workers
50 x 0.5 hour x 4 = 100 hours
