Winning a Contract with PowerPoint: Weller Pools

Sept. 26, 2011 - PRLog -- Weller Pools has been in the aquatic construction industry for over 35 years, creating some of the country's best known and loved swimming pools and water parks. However, their PowerPoint presentations didn't match up to the standards of their pools!

So the Orlando-based aquatic developer recently turned to The Presentation Team to help them improve their PowerPoint presentation to win the business of a Florida-based preparatory school. The key objective of the presentation was to effectively communicate the advantages of the Myrtha Pool Technology, a cutting-edge material that is being used in many new swimming pools.

Weller Pool's existing 38-page PowerPoint was heavy on text/bullet points and lacked a consistent look-and-feel. Weller had a limited budget and short time-frame, so enaged The Presentation Team using the "Enhanced Presentation Package", a quick and easy approach to transform a basic PowerPoint into a get-noticed masterpiece.

Weller was presenting to a small audience of five people. The visual design needed to be bold, graphical, yet easy-to-read.Our design strategy focused on creating a look-and-feel that reflected Weller Pool's brand and identity, while involving elements of aquatics and technology. The six hour project involved...

1.  Development of a custom professional template (title and body masters), that reflected Weller's company brand, while integrating their existing PowerPoint content.
2.  Re-working the overall look-and-feel of the presentation (colors, fonts, layout) for a more polished look.
3.  Clean and professional imagery/graphics (portfolio, schematics, people, concept art, etc.).
4.  Clutter-reducing techniques and presentation strategies to create a "cleaner" look with greater effectiveness.
5.  Clean and conservative slide transition effects (fades and wipe effect).
6.  Professional fonts/typography to ensure consistent playback on different computer systems.
7.  Consulting and collaboration to help Weller Pools to further develop and present new ideas.

After just four days and three rounds of edits, the presentation looked great!  Weller Pools executives rehearsed and refined their delivery with presentation skills coach David Greenberg....then presented to their audience...and won the job.  Weller Pools now has a winning presentation and great presentation skills presentation thanks in part to the experts at The Presentation Team!
