You Get Only One Slide -- Make it GREAT

I am preparing for an investor pitch and reviewing a ton of slides and materials. We have passed through the initial screens with the group and they like what they see, so this is a very important meeting. As I was thinking about the flow of the presentation I asked myself if I had only one slide, what would it be? This is a pretty powerful question....think about it, one slide for all the marbles. All the clutter and fluff was instantly cut away.....I could talk for hours about one slide and it would generate the necessary emotion and dynamic conversation needed to make our point. The slide is a picture, no words, just a before and after kinda thing. It quickly sums up the opportunity, the inherent economics and the overall opportunity for impact, payback and success! Pretty cool

Try it sometime it will provide clarity.
