Two Most Common PPT Presentation Mistakes You Should Avoid

by lee l. Big Big World in the World

PPT is a file extension for a presentation file format used by Microsoft PowerPoint and it is a very popular presentation software commonly used for office and educational slide shows. You can add text, images, photos, music and even video to a PPT files. Besides, you can also convert PPT to DVD with the best free PowerPoint to DVD Converter. In a word, PPT is a good way to present your ideal and personality.
However, during my life, I often see many people don’t use PPT in their business properly. One way is when they do not have to use PPT, they use it; the other way is using PPT as a replacement of Word. These two issues are very important, and so must be clarified.

On the first question, there is a very classic joke. A sales staff introduces his products to some customers with PPT, when it comes to half, a customer interrupts him and ask "What is the purchase process?" The staff answers "Please wait, behind the presentation I will introduce to you." After a while, the customer again interrupted him "Who I should find if I want to buy?" the salesperson replied: "Please wait until I finish the demo, I would tell you the contact". So what is the result? I think you can guess it. This story is to illustrate when you are using PPT to do your product demonstrations or sales promotion, it is just a way to achieve this objective, there is no need to continue to be tangled in the means, but you should take action. If it is very necessary, you can consider how to convert PPT to Flash presentations to make your demonstrations more impressive.
The second problem I encountered in the training yesterday. These students are from the same unit, they often need to submit project proposals to the customer, these project proposals are PPT presentation form of a draft, and may explain, may not be required. This approach is misuse of the PPT. Microsoft develops a variety of office software inclues WORD, PPT, EXCEL, each kid of software has its own function, you shouldn’t replace one with another one. The PPT stands for PowerPoint, which literally means "to make points more powerful, focused". The role of Microsoft PowerPoint is to do presentation in speeches, lectures, show, showing, etc, is to help the speaker enhance the visual effects tools of expression. To make your presentation more attractive and unique, you can think in a different way that is converting PPT to video just like what I mentioned above, like DVD and Flash. Therefore, take PPT, WORD, it is very improper practice.
It is not saying that the PPT can not be used as WORD, but that the consequent slideshow fails, it is would be wrong to wrong results same mistake again, too pity. Try to play such an analogy, you often car (PPT), ship (WORD) delivery of goods (delivery information), you may in many cases to get off or ship can reach the destination, you have got used to always use the car to do load transport, but if one day you learned along the way, the destination needs are usually car-load of goods (PowerPoint characteristics, and not a WORD lengthy), you will find their own has been caught in a very passive position.
In the activities of the presentation of the reality of the business, "WORD move" that is similar to reproduce the error. As a visual cognition communication tool, PPT in business presentation environment, has its own specific rules require in the contents of each slide. Each slide should have its own specific meaning and you should make it as simple as possible. No nonsense, no duplication.
