If you are preparing a presentation or meeting with a corporate client, then you obviously want to get the right message across. Impressing these types of clients can be easy if you’ve got the right tools at your disposal. So, what exactly are these must-have tools? What are the items that will give you the edge and make you look both professional and capable of handling the work?

Because each presentation you give will be unique and directed to a particular client, you will want to make sure you choose the right tools. Here’s a look at some of the most popular and effective tools you can choose from.

A Whiteboard

If you want to be able to jot down notes, thoughts, and ideas as they happen during the presentation, there’s no better tool than a whiteboard. This acts as an engaging tool because it is dynamic and takes on the tone and topic of the presentation. It’s a great way to hammer home key points and thoughts.

Presentation Folders/Booklets

For presentations that involve printed materials you will want to use something such as a booklet, a presentation folder, or a printed ring binder complete with tabbed dividers. You want to provide the client with all the material they need in an easy and quick to read manner. As an added bonus, these presentation folders help creating an air of professionalism. Show Case Creative is an excellent option if you’re looking to have these kinds of materials made.

A Portable Projector

Presentations that use slides or other visuals may also require a projector. Nowadays there is no need to carry around a big clunky unit as there are portable digital projectors that are ideal for videos, slides, and animations. This can add a lot of interest to your presentation.

A Digital Approach

While the above tools are traditional presentation tools you may also wish to use more modern digital tools. Apps are becoming more and more common in presentations thanks to the versatility and customization options they offer. It allows your presentation to take on a whole new form. These apps also give you the ability to engage with the client as they can take part on their own screens.

One of the most widely used digital tools is Prezi, which can be used on your computer and mobile device. This one is cloud-based allowing you to access the content no matter where you are. This can also work for remote presentations, which are becoming more and more common.

If you do plan on using a digital tool you will want to be sure you give yourself enough time to learn how to use it and really play around with it. You don’t want to be fiddling with tools and features during the presentation.

There are a wide variety of tools you can use that will help impress that big corporate client and land you that big account you’ve been vying for.  The above are some of the best.
