Tips for a sales presentation
- Lead with the number vs target and the forecast.
- Salesforce found reps spend only about 28% of their week selling; show what you will remove to free up time.
- Explain variances by driver: volume, price, mix.
- Put the ask (resources, decisions) on its own slide.
Mistakes to avoid
- Charts with no comparison to target
- Pipeline without stage conversion
- No plan for next period
Checklist before you present
- Is revenue shown vs target and last period?
- Is pipeline coverage clear?
- Are variances explained?
- Are next-period targets set?
- Is the ask explicit?
Great for
- Sales reviews and forecasts
- Marketing and launch plans
- Customer experience programmes
- Competitive and market analysis

Questions about a sales presentation
What is pipeline coverage?
The value of open pipeline divided by the remaining target. Many teams aim for 3x, but the right ratio depends on your win rate.
How should a quarterly sales review be structured?
Results vs target, pipeline and forecast, performance by segment, wins and losses, and the plan for next quarter.
