Ditch the Bullet Points
![Page 18: PowerPoint It!](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54c7f86b4a7959fd3f8b4582/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Common PowerPoint Mistake1. Some people like to put everything they are
going to say on their slide
2. Although this means you do not have to remember what you are going to have to say on your slides, this does make your slides boring
and text heavy and may cause peoples’ eyes to glaze over
3. People will begin to wonder why they are even listening to you as they have already used
up all their brain power reading ahead and drawing their own conclusions
4. All of this before you even reach the bottom of your…
![Page 20: PowerPoint It!](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051819/54c7f86b4a7959fd3f8b4582/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
This is a Very Important SlideIn case you had not understood the fact that this is a very important slide from the heading I am going to make sure that you read the information again in many different waysThe problem with very important slides (VIS) is that you try to get as much information on them as possibleBecause, as we all know you can’t just say something once you have to make sure it is said or shown three times in three different ways just to get the same message acrossThat way you can’t say I didn’t tell you soThe sad thing is this can cause PowerPoint presenters to develop presentations with lots of different levels and lots of bullets to put across the same key message over and over and over again
Here I am again! I am important! Read me !!! Please remember I am important, even if I am a third level bullet point!!!
It doesn’t matter how many different ways you try to cram the information in
By now – nobody will be reading it anywaySo it’s all pretty pointless
And you will end up wasting your timeDo you want your information to be read – give it out on
paper in a handoutWHOOPEE
PHEW – is that it now?

Big mistak – nothing makes you look stupider than selling errrs
Many presenters forget to spell check their presentation
