# Sales Presentation Outline

You are a seasoned sales presentation strategist who has helped teams at startups and Fortune 500 companies build pitch decks that convert prospects into customers. You understand that great sales presentations follow a narrative arc that takes the audience from a shared understanding of a problem through an emotionally resonant journey toward a clear and compelling solution. Your outlines are known for balancing data-driven credibility with human storytelling, making every slide purposeful and every transition seamless.

I need you to create a detailed slide-by-slide presentation outline for pitching [PRODUCT_OR_SERVICE] offered by [COMPANY_NAME] to [TARGET_AUDIENCE]. The presentation will be delivered to [AUDIENCE_ROLE:select:C-suite executives,VP or director-level decision makers,Technical evaluators and engineers,Procurement or purchasing team,Mixed audience of technical and business stakeholders,End users and team leads,Board of directors or investors,Channel partners or resellers] at [PROSPECT_COMPANY].

The core problem our product or service solves is [CORE_PROBLEM], and the primary value proposition is [VALUE_PROPOSITION]. The key differentiators that set us apart from competitors are [DIFFERENTIATORS].

The presentation format is [FORMAT:select:In-person meeting with projected slides,Virtual meeting via screen share,Hybrid with both in-person and remote attendees,Pre-recorded video presentation,Leave-behind deck sent via email,Conference stage presentation]. The target length is [DURATION:select:5 minutes - elevator pitch style,10 minutes - concise executive briefing,15 minutes - standard sales meeting,20 minutes - detailed walkthrough,30 minutes - comprehensive deep dive,45 minutes or more - full workshop style presentation] and the total number of slides should be approximately [SLIDE_COUNT:number:5-40].

The audience's current situation is [CURRENT_SITUATION?] and the specific pain points we should address include [PAIN_POINTS]. Their likely objections or concerns are [LIKELY_OBJECTIONS?].

Supporting evidence we can include such as case studies, metrics, or testimonials: [EVIDENCE?]

Pricing information or investment framing to incorporate: [PRICING_INFO?]

The primary call to action at the end of the presentation should be [CTA:select:Schedule a product demo,Start a free trial,Sign a contract or purchase agreement,Approve a pilot program,Move to the next evaluation stage,Set up a follow-up meeting with additional stakeholders,Submit a purchase order].

The visual style preference is [VISUAL_STYLE:select:Minimal and clean with lots of white space,Bold and modern with strong colors and graphics,Data-heavy with charts and dashboards,Story-driven with full-bleed images and minimal text,Corporate and professional with brand consistency,Infographic style with icons and visual metaphors].

Build a complete slide-by-slide presentation outline that follows a persuasive narrative arc. Open with a hook slide that immediately captures attention by presenting a provocative statistic, a bold question, or a vivid depiction of the world the audience is navigating, making them feel the urgency of the problem before any solution is introduced.

Follow the hook with a context slide that frames the market landscape, shifting trends, or evolving customer expectations so the audience understands why the status quo is no longer viable. Transition into a problem exploration sequence of one to three slides that deepens the pain by showing the real cost of inaction through quantified business impact, lost opportunities, or operational friction, and suggest what type of data visualization such as a bar chart comparison, a cost waterfall, or a timeline graphic would make each point land most effectively.

Introduce the solution with a bridge slide that pivots from problem to possibility using a clear turning point statement, then dedicate a sequence of slides to presenting the product or service by mapping each major capability directly to the pain points already established. For each feature or capability slide, describe the key message, the supporting proof point, and a recommended visual treatment such as a product screenshot, a process diagram, a before-and-after comparison, or an animated workflow.

Include a social proof section with one to two slides that feature customer success stories, measurable results, recognizable logos, or direct testimonials, noting where a short embedded video clip, a pull quote, or a results dashboard would be most impactful. If competitive differentiation is important for this audience, add a positioning slide that frames the comparison around the criteria that matter most to the prospect rather than a generic feature checklist, and suggest a visual format such as a quadrant chart, a comparison matrix, or a value map.

Incorporate audience engagement touchpoints throughout the outline, marking specific slides where the presenter should pause for a question, run a quick poll, invite discussion, or share an interactive demo. For each engagement moment, explain what the presenter should say or ask and why that moment in the narrative is the right place for interaction.

Build toward the investment slide by first establishing the cost of doing nothing, then presenting pricing in a way that frames the spend as a return rather than an expense, and suggest a visual approach such as an ROI calculator graphic, a payback timeline, or a tiered pricing table. Follow with a next-steps slide that presents the call to action clearly and removes friction by spelling out exactly what happens after the audience says yes, including timelines, onboarding milestones, and who they will be working with.

Close with a memorable final slide that reinforces the single most important takeaway, leaves the audience with an aspirational vision of their future success, and provides clear contact information.

For every slide in the outline, provide the slide number, a concise working title, the core message in one sentence, two to four bullet points of supporting content or talking points, a recommended visual or layout description, presenter notes with guidance on tone and delivery, and the estimated time to spend on that slide given the total duration. Also note any transitions between slides that require a deliberate narrative bridge rather than a simple click-through.

After the full outline, include a section on presentation delivery tips tailored to the format and audience type, covering how to handle objections in real time, how to read the room and adjust pacing, and how to follow up after the presentation to maintain momentum toward closing.
