The 5-part sales presentation structure
- 1. Buyer's situation (5 min). What you understand about their world.
- 2. The problem (5 min). Cost of current state.
- 3. The vision (5 min). What success looks like.
- 4. The solution (10-15 min). How your product delivers the vision.
- 5. Next steps (5 min). Clear ask.
Patterns that work
- Buyer-specific data and references
- Quantified outcomes from similar customers
- Interactive elements (live demo, ROI calculator)
- Customer voice (testimonial videos)
Patterns that fail
- Generic company history (no one cares)
- Feature-dump slides (no context)
- Decks longer than 25 slides
- No clear next step
