I trade in ideas, but even I have a hard time explaining them. Part of the problem comes down to words. Humans may be wired for stories, but Shakespeares are thin on the ground. More often than not, our words come out garbled, half-baked, or obfuscated.<\/p>\n<p>But something funny happens when we tell stories with pictures instead of words: People light up like a Christmas tree.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not an original idea. One master of the simple presentation is Guy Kawasaki. He did a terrific <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/garr\/guy-kawasakis-foreword-for-presentation-zen\" target=\"_blank\">slideshow<\/a> as a preface to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.garrreynolds.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Garr Reynold<\/a>\u2019s book &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.presentationzen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Presentation Zen<\/a>,&#8221; a\u00a0book all about doing better presentations. Instead of writing a preface, he did what Garr was preaching \u2013 he created a simple visual presentation.<\/p>\n<p>This simple idea can help your business. You can actually sell yourself visually much more effectively than you can with words. So, what does one of these simple, visual pitches look like? Let me tell you how I figured out a template.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Knowing\u00a0how to describe yourself<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A few months back, one of my clients said he wanted to refer my services to other CEOs. What should he write about me in the introductory email? How would I describe myself?<\/p>\n<p>I told him I\u2019m a brand consultant.<\/p>\n<p>He laughed and said there were plenty of me around. And he was right. Every guy with a design program on his computer can call himself a brand consultant. And on the surface of it, nobody would see the difference. The term was completely diluted and devoid of any meaning.<\/p>\n<p>So I told him to wait a bit. I went home and put together a slideshow on what I do. But I did it from the client\u2019s perspective. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/marcstoiber\/what-do-i-do-anyway\" target=\"_blank\">Here\u2019s what it looked like<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"35050\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/unreasonablegroup.com\/articles\/how-slide-out-pitch-deck\/stoiber2-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/unreasonablegroup.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Stoiber2-1.png\" data-orig-size=\"591,621\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Stoiber2 (1)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/unreasonablegroup.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Stoiber2-1.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/unreasonablegroup.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Stoiber2-1.png\" class=\"alignright wp-image-35050\" src=\"https:\/\/wary-sunlight.flywheelsites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Stoiber2-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"276\" height=\"291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unreasonablegroup.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Stoiber2-1.png 591w, https:\/\/unreasonablegroup.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Stoiber2-1-400x420.png 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 276px) 100vw, 276px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I gave this slideshow to my client.

They were even paying me money to do it. It turned into a nice little business.It wasn\u2019t smooth sailing, of course. I learned many things along the way. Perhaps the biggest learning was that <em>the actual magic wasn\u2019t in the slide show<\/em>. Anyone can make a slide show.

That was hard. It took a lot of time and reflection. My biggest discovery at this point was that <span style=\"background-color: #ccffcc;\">most people can\u2019t tell you what\u2019s amazing about themselves. They usually jump to features and benefits. To get the good stuff, I found, I had to talk to their clients<\/span>. They weren\u2019t complex conversations. I usually asked only two questions:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">1. What does so-and-so do better than anyone else in the world?<br \/>\n2. What keeps you coming back for more?<\/p>\n<p>Inevitably, the clients jumped to very human attributes\u00a0\u2014 not features and benefits.<\/p>\n<p>For example, \u201cBob is a real grown up in a sea of snotty know-it-alls.\u201d \u201cSally calls me back.\u201d \u201cJim listens without interrupting. Really listens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is the sort of stuff that great pitches are made of. This is what real people, not imaginary client archetypes, want. Certainly, you do have to put something about the product in there. But even then, you don\u2019t really need to describe what the product does \u2013 just the results it has created for clients.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>So what does SWDIDA mean?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Creating something this simple and charming works like magic on people\u2019s lizard brains \u2014 the part of the brain that shuts down all interaction if it seems scary or confusing.<\/p>\n<p>Having done about a dozen of these mini-pitches, I thought it was time to give them a name.<\/p>\n<p>I called them SWDIDAs, or So What Do I Do Anyway pitches. We liked SWDIDA because, quite frankly, it sounded silly. And getting the .com for it wasn\u2019t hard. Plus it sounds nice when you say <em>You Need a SWDIDA<\/em>. It\u2019s got a 1950s jingle quality, like <em>You Can Tell It\u2019s Mattel, It\u2019s Swell<\/em>.

I have four in the pipeline right now.<\/p>\n<p>But I think we can do even better. Just when you think you\u2019ve done a great job summing something up in 12 slides, you meet someone who can do it in one.<\/p>\n<p>Or someone who can do it in one\u00a0slide with no words.<\/p>\n<p>I look at masterpieces of simple expression like the Krazy Glue construction guy visual, or the Samsonite gorilla, with awe.<\/p>\n<p>I was fortunate enough to work with a great designer at <a href=\"http:\/\/rethinkcanada.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rethink Advertising<\/a> when I was doing the design of my book &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/dp\/B00SC6SR18\/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&amp;btkr=1\" target=\"_blank\">Didn\u2019t See It Coming<\/a>,&#8221; so I\u2019m happy to say I own one of these great visuals, even if I didn\u2019t come up with it myself.<\/p>\n<p>It looks easy, in hindsight. But, I can tell you from brutal experience, it isn\u2019t. That said, the reward is worth the hard work.<\/p>\n<p>My own SWDIDA has well over 2000 views. How many strangers have voluntarily clicked on your resume that many times?<\/p>\n<p>Many of my clients have used these simple SWDIDAs to influence their website design. They\u2019ve turned them into posters, trade show slide shows, they\u2019ve put them on their LinkedIn profile. Simple ideas get good mileage without wearing out.<\/p>\n<p>So I would wholeheartedly recommend you try one for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>You may not get it right the first time. But as you work at it, you\u2019ll begin to gain an appreciation for the simple, powerful thing you do for clients.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll get a better pitch. You\u2019ll feel more focus. And that\u2019s why you need a SWDIDA.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>This is an abridged version of Marc&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/sohovictoria.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">speech<\/a> at the SOHO conference
