Remember:
-
20 slides or less (you will average 1 minute per slide, that's just a fact).
-
Know your elevator pitch.
-
Build a story, the slides are in a particular order for a reason. The story has to make sense and it has to grow and build upon each successive piece. However, the order of the slides should be how you best tell the story.
-
Never present too much information.
-
Never talk to your slides...use the slides as your talking points.
-
Never use small fonts.
-
Don't waste your time with fancy graphics or animation.
-
Make sure the slides are printable on a black and white laser printer.
-
Don't assume that high speed or dial-up access will be present when you give the pitch. Call ahead.
-
Have the pitch on your home turf, unlikely but helpful.
