We spend a lot of time talking about the aesthetic gains clients get when they work with Sales Graphics, but there’s more to this story than engaging video and presentations that sell. We also spend a lot of time thinking about optimizing our product for performance and reliability.
When it comes down to crunch time confidence in your presentation software means everything. That’s why we worked with the team at a premium-subscription channel to get their feedback on their transition from PowerPoint to CustomShow.
The graph above represents how presenters allocate their time using PowerPoint. As you can tell, they spend lots of time customizing slides, finding approved videos, and collaborating with co-workers.
The average person spent 72 minutes on every PowerPoint presentation, but when the team switched to CustomShow that number dropped to 40 minutes. That’s a savings in excess of 30 minutes per presentation, but we also saw some other interesting statistics.
When people switched to CustomShow they spent much less time finding the latest versions of slides and worrying about design. Instead 92% of time was spent tailoring slides to the sales prospect. This represents not only time gained, but also significant revenue savings.
Let’s take a step back and quantify this. If 100 people in a sales team give five presentations per month (a little more than one per week), then that team can save 3,000 hours per year. If each of these account executives earns $50 per hour in salary and benefits, the time saved on presentations can equate to a $150,000 savings. In other words, we’re not all about aesthetics and design, but we do think about that too.
