HOW TO CREATE A GREAT
PRESENTATION IN JUST 15 MINUTES
Hi, I’m Dan Martell.
I coach high performing SaaS founders and I
love it!
Keep it short, but funny - and it possible, relevant to the topic being
discussed.
ASK A QUESTION
Get people involved by asking “How many of you …?” or “How are you
doing?”
Either approach is fine and it gets the audience interacting early in your
talk to set the mood and to gain the audience participation.

SHOW GRATITUDE
One of the best ways to engage the audience is to thank them.
Doing this will leave them feeling a sense of respect for you because
you appreciated them.
There are two groups you’ll want to thank, and in this order …
ATTENDEES
Thank them for coming out, for their time and participation.
Showing gratitude is important!

ORANIZERS
Get the name of the organizers and a few major sponsors.
Thank them and then ask everyone to give them a big round of
applause.

Tell them what they’ll get from your talk. This is referred to as the
“WIIFM” or “What’s In It For Me?” asked from the attendees point of
view.
5 EARN THE RIGHT
Never assume anyone knows who you are.
Instead, explain to the audience why they should listen to you.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
Share Accomplishments
Tie it into the topic. Don’t be
afraid to brag (a little).

CLOSING
At the end, I always like to quickly go over the topics I covered, then end
with either a “Call to Action” or a “Call to Purpose.”
Most of the time I give them a URL to download links so I can collect their
email and build a relationship.
CALL TO PURPOSE
If the purpose of my talk was
more inspirational than teaching,
I’ll end with a call to purpose.
3 TEACHING #1
This slide has the topic, relevant image and that’s it. I repeat this format
for every 10 minute story I plan to share.
#willyoumatter
#ThankYou

4 THE CLOSING
This is my thank you slide + CTA or call to purpose. It usually includes my
Twitter handle, even hashtag and maybe a URL.
