The way you present the text/data is vital in a presentation. Post the first stage of inquiring and collecting the vital information, the stage comes when you need to prepare what goes into the ppt. When I am given the task of preparing the presentation, at the second stage this is what I do -

Briefing meeting with the subject matter experts (SME’s): At this stage, I already have the objective of the presentation and the background information on who would be providing the content, I then arrange for a briefing meeting with the content providers. I ask him/them to mail across the material post the meeting. During the meeting, they explain and show the reference material that needs to be used.

Prepare the first draft: Post the meeting I go through the material in detail, I prepare the story line in a word format and I don’t worry about the representation at this stage at all. The story needs to be as in-depth as possible. I also carry out my research on the topic and embed that in the narrative.

Second discussion with the SME: I then arrange for a second session with the content provider (subject matter expert) and share the narrative with them. Every line is then introspected and discussed upon to freeze the narrative so that the message it crisp and clear. This I do by asking relevant questions to the content provider whenever I feel that the message needs to be more accurate and technically/conceptually correct, strong and as per the industry standards.

Organise the narrative: I then organise the narrative so that the message does not seem disconnected, is coherent and connected – following the basic rule – setting expectation with the audience (agenda), introduction, body, conclusion/recommendation, annexure, next steps and contact details. While organising the content, you need not worry about what text goes to each slide – you just chunk the portions of the content to frame a story line. For example, it may happen that introduction can have more than 1 or 2 slides depending on the kind of representation you would want to give to the deck.

Freezing the narrative usually takes two/three sessions, but it is the most important task that needs to be completed prior to jumping in the design stage. The output that you achieve here will be extremely lengthy like a research/speech and this won’t go as is in the deck. However, framing this narrative provides you a solid foundation and serves as notes and reference material to the presenter, sales people and other stakeholders.

If you can learn how to negotiate effectively, you could potentially save thousands of dollars for your business. There are many negotiation techniques that you can use and many of these are very effective. Here are a few tips that can help you learn how to negotiate effectively.

One of the most important tips that you can keep in mind is that you need to open the negotiations by asking for more than you plan on getting. For example, even if you are willing to pay more money, ask for a price that is much lower than that. This gives you some leeway to negotiate and lets you understand the difference between what you need to achieve and what the seller needs to achieve. Start as low as possible and work your way back up from there. More times than not, this will get you a better deal.

If there is something that is holding up the deal, do not be afraid to ask the other party a question to clarify the importance of the aspect that is holding things up. Many people are afraid to ask for anything during negotiations. You need to keep in mind that you are negotiating to save yourself a lot of money and you should not be hesitant to do so. Otherwise, you might end up leaving a lot of money on the table during the process.

If you make an offer, you should get in the habit of waiting until the other person talks before speaking again. After an offer is made, you should be completely silent until the other person says something. Many people do not like the awkward silence that sometimes occurs during negotiations. Because of this, they try to fill the awkward silence by speaking and end up talking themselves into a different offer than what they originally said. After you make an offer, let the other person respond before doing anything. Otherwise, you might end up making a big mistake.

Throughout the process, you should try to remain calm and level headed. Many people let their emotions get the best of them and it ends up making the negotiation process more difficult for them than it needs to be. If you are too emotional in a negotiation situation, you may end up losing out in the negotiation process.

Before you go into the negotiation process, you should also outline some objectives for yourself. By sticking to a plan, you will be more likely to be successful during the process. You need to keep in mind exactly what you are after so that you can check back that you are achieving your objectives during the negotiation process.

Even though you are trying to be successful in the negotiations, you do not want to leave the other person feeling like you have taken advantage of them. You may want to concede something along the way so that they feel like they have won something in the negotiations. Knowing your objectives will help you to know what aspects of the negotiation are less important to you and that you could be willing to concede, if necessary.

Overall, if you can learn how to negotiate effectively, it can make a big difference in the success of your business and you will definitely be able to save yourself money.
