translators communicate effectively with slides

Zingword

Why communicating with PowerPoint is the new BLACK

A mini-production for translators

It wasn’t long ago that slides looked like…

But now, they are used to communicate efficiently…

…And without speaking.

Separating one slide per topic is fantastic for the reader

You can communicate almost anything

• Blog posts

• Summaries

• Stories

• Ideas

• Advice

• Invoices and proposals

And sales people in other industries have been doing this

for a long time

Most of all, slides are persuasive

• Slides make you focus on what’s important

• Small bits of information go straight into the brain

• But you can build surprisingly complex arguments

• And easily drop MEMEs into your argument

Why not send proposals or even invoices using a slide

deck?

She only looked at my pricing page for 5 seconds before buying!

Or even an invoice

They haven’t even opened my invoice to look at it!

What else is better in slides than in a traditional document?
