Whether you work for a Vendor, Reseller or Distributor, you would have sat through many presentations throughout your career. Some of these of these would have been amazing while others might have been enough to put you to sleep. The importance of being able to deliver an effective presentation is well known, however we don’t all know exactly how to do so. While for some this comes very naturally it is much harder for others.
