While Textpad has no format like bold, or italics, this one program has helped me to produce and send out over 165 articles and 95 tips to share with more than 100 ePublishers and 980 Web sites (year one) and 21,000 (year four) with hyperlinks back to my sites. This is why I am #1 on www.google.com and 25 other search engines. You can have similar success.

Author’s Note: TextPad allows you to send all of your emails including documents within email, so your readers can open and see all immediately. When people don’t have to download an attachment, they are more likely to open your emails. Think of time saved. From using this format, hundreds of thousands of targeted buyers eventually will come your way---to your Web site, ezine, or to your email address.

I don’t believe there is such a thing as “right” or “wrong” number of slides in a sales presentation. That being said, never have a sales presentation that is over 10 slides, including opening and closing slides. If you need more than that to convey your value and benefits, something is wrong. Limit yourself to a number of slides and challenge yourself to get to main points faster. You don’t have luxury of time with a prospect; you need to lock their interest early.

An interesting exercise is to make a presentation from customer’s perspective, addressing information way they are likely processing your conversation with them. Use following titles for each slide and compare this presentation to whatever you have today. Which is more meaningful to your prospect?

1. Opening Slide 2. “Who Are You?” 3. “What Do You Do for Me?” 4. “How Do You Do It?” 5. “How Are You Different?” 6. “Why Should I Believe You?” 7. “What Does It Cost?” 8. “Do You Offer a Guarantee?” 9. “How Do We Start Doing Business Together?” 10. Closing Slide
