THE END
ANOTHER TIP: THE LAST CHART OF YOUR PRESENTATION
IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE OF THE WHOLE SHOW. IT
OFTEN REMAINS ON THE WALL UNTIL THE END OF THE
MEETING. USE THIS OPPORTUNITY WISELY. HAVE A
STRONG ARGUMENT ON THE LAST CHART. SO PLEASE
MAKE ME A FAVOR AND DON'T USE THE STUPID "THANK
YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION". ONLY IDIOTS DO THAT. YOU
ARE NOT A LOSER. AND REMEMBER, IF YOU HAVE A LOT
OF TEXT ON YOUR CHART, PEOPLE START READING RIGHT
AWAY, THAT'S HOW IT IS. YOU LOSE THEIR ATTENTION.
SO DON'T BE LIKE BOB. THANK YOU FOR YOUR
ATTENTION.
