What are your tips and tricks?
![Page 7: Share In The Conversation May 22, 2010 Making the Point with PowerPoint Brett P. Cooper netcooper@yahoo.com.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697bf951a28abf838c910bf/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Best practices from the road• Ask questions • What are you trying to answer by giving your
presentation?– Sell something – an idea, a product, a service– Get approval to do something
![Page 8: Share In The Conversation May 22, 2010 Making the Point with PowerPoint Brett P. Cooper netcooper@yahoo.com.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697bf951a28abf838c910bf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Best practices from the road• Before you present check out the location where you are
presenting, for:– A projector and screen?– Microphone?
• Don’t scream – it hurts more than your voice and the audience will not hear you!
– Speakers?– Do you need cables to connect up?– Is everything working?
• Show up early and talk to your audience– Ask them why they are here and use the stories

More best practices from the road• Start with your last slide first
– You may never get to your last slide!• Practice, practice, practice
– Video tape yourself and watch it to improve• Educate yourself on your audience
– Ask yourself “What does my audience want to hear?”• Use a remote control (<$50 at any office store)• Never go below 18 point font
– You want your points to be legible
• Join Toastmasters – and go to the meetings• Put your PPT(x) on a USB memory stick
