David has been teaching me several aspects of efficient versus "just bad" presentations using PowerPoint, and I have to say Salesforce did an excellent job of telling a story through the presentation than actually writing out all of their talking points. The presentation itself was very interesting because it showed that Salesforce uses their own product to increase revenue and sales of the Salesforce software. Whether they are measuring sales reps' performances, revenue forecasts, or setting up their own personal templates, Salesforce is a growing company, and this software is going to help LUCRUM tremondously down the road.

As Guy Kawasaki says "90% of PowerPoint presentations suck." "Actually, that is not true, 99% of them suck" I love Presentation Zen. Another great read on the topic is Seth Godin's "Really Bad Powerpoint." Great post. Andy,

Great post.

I have seen Don McMillan's Life after Death by Powerpoint on either YouTube or MySpaceTV before. Today was just as funny as the first time I had seen it and I guarantee I have been in more meetings since I viewed Life after Death by Powerpoint the first time around. I understand and appreciate the need of putting as much information as possible into a powerpoint presentation but we have to remember the basics. Thanks for an enjoyable post. :) Andy-
