This document provides tips for perfecting client presentations. It recommends that presentations should motivate the audience to take action, either by buying a product or supporting an idea. Presentations should use slides to reinforce what is being said rather than repeat it verbatim. Visuals like images are more memorable than words. The presentation should be kept short and start by describing the problem before offering the solution. Above all, presentations need to be practiced.
