PowerPoint for Lawyers You've been there. Sitting in an auditorium, listening to a monotone speaker talking about a dry subject. But you need the credits so you stick it out. You don't want to be that speaker! Especially if the audience is a jury. When it comes to telling your story you need to use every tool in your arsenal and your arsenal should include PowerPoint. Opening and closing statements are ideal for using a PowerPoint presentation. There is a lot of trial technology available to you but for opening and closing, nothing is more effective than PowerPoint. The strength power is that it's easy for you to make changes on the fly without having the IT staff in court with you. Our one-hour PowerPoint for Speakers session — one of our Lunch & Learn seminars — will get you presenting like a pro. For CLEs, having images, movement, and sound in your presentation is far more interesting than just text. Don't risk death by bullets for your audience when you can incorporate other elements. The ability to pull off humor with appropriate cartoons or jokes in your presentation goes a long way when the audience is filling out those comment cards. We can help you design a powerful presentation that matches your personality and even makes the dryest subject interesting. When attorneys in your firm are building their client base, are they all using the firm's 'look' and 'voice' for their presentations? Does the visual presentation augment the printed leave-behinds? What does the choice of color schemes tell the audience about your firm (i.e. red is powerful, blue is calming)? When you're marketing, perception is everything. Decision-makers are getting younger every day. They are a generation that has grown up with technology. So the use of it — whether in person, in a webinar, or on your website — may be an influencing factor. The way you use technology tells the prospect a lot about the speaker and the firm. If it's effectively used in your new business presentation, the sense is that you will use technology effectively on their cases. Let Us Help You Design Your Presentation Word-smithing what you're saying and blending that with your speaking style is important to successfully using presentations in a way that they're effective yet behind the scenes. Don't let technology get in the way of your message. There is a distinct advantage in having someone who is not intimately involved in the case help you design your presentation. It provides an outsider's (read: jury, judge, mediator) perspective. We can design your presentation solo or work in conjunction with your team, guiding them as they design it, providing ideas and helping them avoid time consuming pitfalls. Or we can simply tweak it when it's done and provide you with that outsiders perspective. When you're paying a vendor by the hour, you don't want them learning on your — or your clients' — dime. We know PowerPoint inside and out. We're efficient when we design presentations, thinking not only of the original design but of future changes that are inevitably going to be made, whether by us or by you. Our knowledge can save you time, money and frustration. Your competitors are using technology. Are you? 972.255.0555 |
