Searching online, I find four companies describing themselves as the UK’s leading presentation design agency. Not ‘one of the leading’, but the leading. Four. Which is of course a nonsense. So, who’s lying?

Presentation Zen was published ten years ago. Al Gore won his Oscar for a film based on a presentation in 2006. Amazon sell more than 38,000 books with ‘presentation’ in the title, and more than 7,500 with ‘PowerPoint’. Which all sort or raises the question Why are so many presentations still crap? All those books, decks, all that advice – Is it even making a difference?
It's easy when you are immersed in something to forget how small a part of your customers’ lives that thing is. At a recent Better Presentations event in London I asked 60-odd people if they had read Presentation Zen.

With the right approach, right support, and right targets, many (but not all) sales people could generate new business.
We decided to publish our pricing on our website. For a B2B company, selling to other B2B companies, that's a fairly controversial thing to do. But we're giving it a try, and if it doesn't work out, we'll try to stuff the genie back in the bottle. None of our competitors in the presentation market seem to publish their pricing publically. So, are we stupid?
