Tonic Systems has a demo of their TonicPoint presentations software, the software Google has just purchased to become its presentations software. Enjoy!

Before we get too deep into this, let me clarify two things.  When I say without a “plan”, I mean without a formally written business plan – not that you should be clueless about what you want to do.  And, when I say startup funding, I’m talking more about early stage seed funding via angels (though most of these tips should apply to VCs as well).

The presentation software used by millions of project managers and consultants, Microsoft's PowerPoint, will have a competitor from Google called "Presently" as the company builds yet another piece of the office suite everyone expects will challenge Office, once it actually has enough features.

SlideShare launches today -- the YouTube of Powerpoint. While Powerpoint destroys thought, so does TV. And misgivings aside, slides can be an art form in and of itself.

Converting PowerPoint to Flash would absolutely be a good choice to distribute your bulky PowerPoint Presentation.

Although we don't know whether Microsoft ever envisioned such a big market about PowerPoint on its first release.

And enhanced versions of Word and Excel, too. Your next PDA or cellular phone will be powered by Windows Mobile.

1. Structure the Presentation based on the Goal Most sales presentations are persuasive presentations trying to persuade the prospect to purchase. But early in the sales process, you may be making an informative presentation simply educating the prospect on your product or service. Structure what you say and your supporting slides based on your goal for that presentation and how you will move the prospect from where they are now to where you want them to be.
