Why a sales presentation is more than presenting a PowerPoint?

You could say that a sales presentation is only as good as the sales rep presenting it, but that’s only partly true.

People forget about 90% of what you tell them within 2 days (it’s called the Forgetting curve, look it up). And I am guessing that your sales cycle is longer than 2 days…

Even if you’re a rock star, will your star power last long enough to influence the final buying decision? Likely not.

If you’re smart, you rely on your sales presentation content to work for you behind closed doors and serve as your voice when you can’t be there.

Sounds nice, doesn’t it? If only it were so simple.

But most sales presentations don’t work like that. Without you to present them they’re as inviting as drinking warm beer.

My goal for this post is to show you examples of how smart sales teams managed to make sales presentations that sell while they sleep.

Why don’t sales presentations work anymore?

They all look the same.

They’re not (really) personalized.

And they’re static and boring.


We all know sales presentations need to be pretty, but now we're all making pretty much the same presentations. Standing out from your competition is 90% of the battle, and you're losing it.

Worse yet, too many sales teams default to sending generic one-shoe-fits-all sales presentations to all their prospects. I get it, there’s not enough time to justify the high touch.

So what now?

I’m gonna show you sales presentation examples that use interactive multimedia content and personalization to stand out, engage, and win more deals.


NOTE: Based on our analysis of over 100,000 sales presentation sessions I can tell you that moving from static to interactive sales presentation could get you a 146% increase in average reading time and a 41% increase in prospects who read your presentation in full.

Sales presentation examples that close deals

Sales presentation examples are abundant, but GREAT examples are few and far between.

You’re not gonna eat anyone’s lunch if you show up to the competition with the same set of (pretty) tools as all the rest.

When preparing your sales presentation, your priority is to first stand out, second engage, and third drive action.

The examples on my list all do this superbly.

One of these sales presentations brought a 70% lift in SQLs, another drove 2X more demos when used in sales prospecting, and a third was shared with decision-makers within the prospect’s organization 50% of the time.

If you study these examples and apply what you’ve learned - you’re gonna need a bigger pipeline.

Gong sales one-page presentation

Gong can do no wrong. They are masters of sales collateral and sales messaging.

Their sales presentation follows the recomended structure I gave you at the start of this article starting with a UVP and then covering who they are, problem, solution, how it works, benefits, social proof, and next steps.

This presentation has it all. But Gong elegantly rolled up who they are with the problem and solution in a short and easy-to-follow video.

Why separate them when you can merge them into one coherent and persuasive narrative?

Zuora sales presentation

Zuora’s sales presentation is the archetype of a storytelling presentation.

Zuora was one of the first sales organizations to build their sales presentations around a grand narrative which earned this presentation renown as the best sales presentation ever.

It presents a sea change, where the market is transitioning from a product subscription economy.

The presentation outlines a “before-and-after” state of affairs with winners and losers.

Those who embrace the change with the help of Zuora’s solution inherit the earth and those who don’t lose everything and get left behind.

Udemy B2B sales presentation

One of Udemy’s major revenue channels is their B2B operation. It’s a tough market in which they compete with other training and development providers.

Their sales presentation uses dynamic variables to personalize their message to a specific prospect (it’s the content in squiggly brackets).

I specifically loved the personal note that the presentation opens with. It’s a great place to include some of the specific concerns and interests that came up during the discovery call, or based on prior engagement by the prospect.

Enterprise sales deck by cprime

cprime’s enterprise sales presentation leads by showcasing that they work with Fortune 500 companies. This form of "social proof" slash "proof of capabilities" is critical for enterprise selling.

Enterprise buyers like knowing that your services are tailored for enterprise and can keep up with BIG requirements. cprime work hard to show they belong in an enterprise’s solution stack.

Only after catering to this do they proceed to break down their solution.

I love how they break complex infographics into chunks that lead your attention with animation.

And I realy love the idea of providing samples of their offering to make it concrete and easy to understand.

Minimalistic sales presentation by ScaleHub

This sales presentation and other interactive sales collateral helped ScaleHub establish themselves in the US market and brought them a steady flow of leads for their pipeline.

Before this they were using the legacy PPTs and PDFs, but moving to this type of interactive content got more engagement, opened the door for relationships to form, and let them build a pipeline fast with relatively few resources.

The presentation is quite a simple one, it’s the text book problem-solution content structure, made leaner and easier to understand with interactive content and multimedia.

Interactive sales presentation by Deliveright

Deliverights sales presentation is an outstanding example of turning a boring topic into an exciting proposition. (we’re talking about a white glove delivery service mind you).

The presentation does a great job of showing how easy and straightforward their solution is through visual storytelling.

I specifically enjoyed their problem slide that effectively creates a persuasive contrast between the delivery process with and without Deliveright.

Personalized sales presentation by Wisestamp

This sales pitch presentation is beautifully personalized. There’s the basic personalization of the prospect’s name and company, but it goes much further…

Wisestamp give their prospect a personalized preview of their product. Yep.

Because the product is an email signature they can populate a signature with the prospect’s information, name, job title, email, headshot and all.

Another great thing this presentation does is segment the message to multiple decision-makers in their benefits section.

Using tabs they can talk to different influencers from one single slide instead of “dirtying” their presentation with multiple slides addressing different people.

Sales proposal presentation by Healthy.io

This sales presentation example, by a heath-tech company, is a peculiar one. It’s rare to encounter a long-form sales presentation, and even rarer to find one that works really well.

But this one works big time.

This presentation enables Healthy’s champion to promote the solution within their organization. This involves persuading multiple decision-makers and influencers which the sales team has no hope of meeting face-to-face.

The long form works well in this situation since it effectively communicates the value of Healthy’s solution to a specialist audience that requires the details to make a buying decision.

AI sales presentation by OctopAI

I love this sales presentation’s cover slide. The grumpy octopus animation just pulls in your attention and the snappy and catchy title complements it perfectly and gets you intrigued to read more.

I am also a fan of their direct approach - outlining the pain point first, hooking you with a sense of risk and urgency. And only after giving you the company and product intro as a segway into the solution.

It’s a great example of a lean and clean sales presentation with no useless noise and some smart use of visual cues that direct your attention and keep you reading through to the end.

Startup sales presentation by Orbiit

This example leads with hard numbers to make a case for their solution. If you have numbers this practice is a good idea since buyers love numbers.

I think this sales presentation does a solid job of painting a full picture of what Orbiit can deliver and how it works.

Specifically, I appreciate the way they demo their service so simply with visuals and explanation text. By the end, you have a clear idea of what they provide, how it works, and the value it brings.

Technical sales presentation by Spot (by NetApp)

This is a good example of a technical sales presentation that targets a DevOps audience.

It uses technical jargon which is usually recommended not to do, but in this case, positions them as peers who know what they are talking about.

This presentation goes after operation managers and C-level executives by pitching their solution as a way to cut costs and shorten delivery times.

They make a compelling case for a very savvy audience and hard-to-please executives.

Product sales presentation by Matics

This sales presentation shows how great design should not come at the expense of great storytelling.

I was impressed by their sharp messaging that goes back and forth between life with and without their product. They make the case for taking action now to reap the benefits tomorrow.

They make sure to counter prospect’s urge to stick with the status quo by reducing the their perceived risk and giving them insight into how their apps work and how rolling out the solution will look like.

It makes digitalization of manufacturing management seem like the easy way forward. They make it feel so simple. It’s inspiring.
