  • ) October 16, 2009 -- m62 visualcommunications, the global leader in presentation effectiveness, has today highlighted to presenters the importance of ensuring there is a clear objective in a sales or investor presentation.

    Many presenters simply reuse old generic presentations, and occasionally adapt the wording of bullet points slightly in an attempt to tailor the presentation to the pitch audience. The resulting effect can be one of incoherence. Presenters with no clear objective have no aim to work towards. Many presenters may not even realise how ineffective this is.
