Frequently Asked Questions
Why not just use PowerPoint templates?
PowerPoint's templates have more to do with selling licences of PowerPoint than with helping you close more business. Our focus is on engaging your dream audience and having them take action.
How much of my time do I need to set aside?
Not much. We take work off your desk, not put more on it. Depending on the project, you'll need to set aside 2-3 hours for an initial briefing and another couple of hours review time as the project progresses.
For what is my team responsible?
Three things.
First, gathering together all the assets we need, for example company logo files, fonts, colours, marketing guidelines, etc.
Second, attending the initial briefing meeting and making sure that we have access to all the expert knowledge about your business. We need to know who you are, what you offer, and who your dream client/customer is.
Third, from time to time we may ask you to check on our progress, for example by watching brief progress videos we produce throughout the project.
What do I get?
That slightly depends on the scope of work. However, you can be sure that you'll get a brand spanking new, integrated presentation. This will comprise our unique segue script aligned with a new set of slides.
You'll also get a rehearsal and training video, to help with the rollout and maintaining message consistency. All this - including the new presentation materials - is distributed via our learning managing system. This means you also get accurate management reports on the take up of the new materials by your sales force.
We can apply our copy to sales videos too and create tightly scripted marketing videos for your website, designed to complement the new sales materials.
How much does all this cost?
During the discovery process we will pinpoint what we can create to help boost your sales and marketing. At that point we'll provide the investment needed, clearly quoting a fixed figure, along with optional extras for your consideration.
Most of our projects require a five figure investment. Occasionally we come across smaller projects for clients operating in a very narrow niche that might require a four figure investment.
Your investment will be a fraction of the cost it would take to do all the work yourself. You'll get a better job, quicker and cheaper.
