The world has changed once again and, as usual, it is “keep up, or get left behind.” This evolving landscape begs the question if life will ever go back to what we once considered normal. Perhaps some companies will utilize the systems put in place for quarantine permanently. Others will have new protocol to fall back on in future predicaments. Remote work has gone from a luxury to a safety net in the matter of a week. We now find ourselves faced with the challenge to functionally adapt our workflow in unexpected circumstances. What does this mean for your evangelical landscape? In the wake of unprecedented pandemic regulations, have you considered your resources?
Clean Narratives Give You Flexibility
It is important to have a true North when navigating the unknown. Your pitch deck can be that compass for you if done right. Creating a clean narrative for your pitch deck will guide you through uncharted territories like the one in which we currently find ourselves globally. Reading the room is much more difficult now that you are unable to give your big pitch in person. Instead, you may be adapting it to a video conference. With a straightforward narrative, the success of your pitch isn’t hinging on the energy given back to you. Alternatively, a clean narrative also allows you to engage with whatever energy you are met with and tailor your content in the moment to connect with the crowd. Whether in-person or via conference call, consider whether the words on-screen are impacting your presentation in a meaningful way. If not, try to use more iconography, streamlined verbiage, and fewer words where possible.
Beautiful Presentations Will ‘Give the Tour’ For You
Wining and dining are out of the question for the foreseeable future. You may need to rely on your deck now more than ever to introduce your brand to new clientele. Giving a potential partner “the tour” can look very different when unable to meet face-to-face. Make sure you have a presentation that authentically encompasses your brand to tell your story. Nothing is more compelling than stunning visuals, straightforward infographics and artfully tailored content representing you during an online-only introduction. Meticulously consider each font, color, photograph and icon used. We live in a culture where decisions are largely emotional, not logical. Visual stimulation can be a huge driving factor and neglecting the impact this has on the delivery of each slide can cost you.
Investing time and energy into creating a presentation that masterfully combines a clean narrative with beautiful visuals helps you get ahead of the curve and adapt to unexpected circumstances, even a global pandemic. Why not request a free consultation today?
