Next Steps

The presentation may have just been a door opener or one part of an overall marketing program. You made it past hurdle #1. What's #2,#3, etc.? Further meetings as separate working groups or one-to-one meetings with key people are common.

The customer may have indicated that a presentation elsewhere would be useful, or other presentations may make sense as well. Someone else wants to borrow the presentation to show to another group. Do you want to fix the flaws and perhaps delete some confidential information before loaning it out?

The oral presentation may be followed by a formal written proposal or report. The work that went into making the presentation may be extremely useful in preparing the written document.
