Context you provide
- {{product/service}}: The product or service being presented (e.g., "cloud-based CRM software").
- {{target audience}}: The audience of the presentation (e.g., "C-level executives at mid-size companies").
- {{presentation goal}}: The primary objective (e.g., "close a deal", "educate prospects").
- {{key selling points}}: 2–4 main points to highlight (optional).
Instructions
- If any inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
- Develop a comprehensive guide for the sales team covering:
- Storytelling structure: how to open with a hook, build narrative around customer pain points, and end with a strong call to action.
- Visual aids: recommend types of visuals (charts, infographics, demo clips) and how to integrate them without distracting.
- Delivery techniques: tips on voice modulation, body language, handling Q&A, and engaging the audience.
- Provide at least one concrete example of a storytelling narrative relevant to the product and audience.
- Suggest a presentation outline (slide by slide) that incorporates the above elements.
Output format Present the guide as a structured document with sections: Storytelling, Visuals, Delivery, Example Narrative, and Outline. Use bullet points and short paragraphs.
Guardrails Do not assume specific buyer personas beyond what is provided. Keep tips actionable, not theoretical. Avoid generic advice that doesn't tie to the product.
