Support: Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why should I consider your company for my next presentation?

A. Better Business Presentations offers the complete presentation package from writing to creating the presentation in PowerPoint, Flash, or another program, to coaching the speaker on all phases of the presentation including delivery. While you may not need all these services, it’s reassuring to know that we offer the full range of services you require for a successful outcome, and are not simply a graphics company.

Q. How do I get started with your company?

A. You submit the “Free Quote” form or call 1-800-790-2276. We meet by phone, email, or in person, at which time we review your presentation objectives and your current needs. We then respond with a proposal, and once agreed upon, we create an initial storyboard.

Q. How long does it take to create a presentation?

A. That depends on how far along you are in the development. If you provide the final script and pertinent images, we can usually produce the presentation in less than 5 business days. Bill Blaney, the company’s EVP heads up the presentations production team, which consists of qualified writers and an exceptional PowerPoint and Flash design staff.

Q. Tell me more about your presentation coaching services.

A. The company president, Bob Lipp, began his career by teaching public speaking at The Ohio State University. He also consulted on oral presentation at Procter & Gamble, where he coached various levels of executives on how to deliver their message for maximum retention. Since then Bob and his team have worked with a wide range of individuals in diverse businesses; including nervous presenters who don’t know where to begin, to confident presenters who want another point of view, to everyone in between, including individuals and groups.

Q. Do you have a presentation philosophy?

A. Yes. We call it R.O.A.D., Research, Organize, Adapt and Dialogue. It suggests the importance of knowing your audience; properly organizing your thoughts; adapting to the situation; and interacting with, rather than lecturing to your audience.

Q. Does your work focus on a particular industry?

A. No, we work with presenters in all industries and on many topics. We also understand many emerging technology industries, which is a plus for a market segment where effective communication is critical.

Q. At what point are we committed to the project?

A. Better Business Presentations is more than just name. It’s a guarantee, and we don’t know any other business in our field that offers one. We guarantee to review your current presentation and offer you sound ideas for making it better…Or you pay nothing.
