Smartpresentations, specialist in professional PowerPoint presentations with powerful storytelling, is entering into two structural and international partnerships. With this they expand their offering, give clients broader possibilities but above all provide an answer to the two most frequently asked questions: 'Can we adapt and expand the presentation ourselves?' and 'Can we send the presentation on afterwards?'.
"Our presentations are used by companies at important moments; a sales conversation, company introduction, pitch or award defence. We are often asked whether the PowerPoint presentation we deliver can be expanded just as high in quality by their own employees. And also whether the presentation can be sent on after a sales conversation and given a high-quality follow-up", explains owner and storyteller Harald Dumoulin of Smartpresentations.
After a thorough screening, a match was found with SlideDeck in the Netherlands and Salesdrive in Antwerp. For both companies the collaboration means a broadening of their distribution possibilities. For Smartpresentations it is a high-quality expansion and addition that fits seamlessly with the core business.
"Both applications fit seamlessly with the core business of Smartpresentations. With SlideDeck we have a high-quality answer to the demand to expand our content-strong and graphically strong presentations. We have agreed exclusivity for Belgium and look forward to rolling this out further together with the Dutch colleagues", Harald continues.
"With Salesdrive we add an extra dimension to the many sales presentations we make for clients. With that it is an answer to the question of whether the presentation can be sent on and tracked (securely). Both tools also help our clients to bring their story in a high-quality and above all professional way at important moments and thereby safeguard their reputation."
SlideDeck is a Dutch company that developed an application that nestles into PowerPoint. With this template application, a company's employees can create presentations themselves or expand existing presentations. In the application, a choice can easily be made from a selection of pre-made slides, icons, images and template slides. In this way the quality of the PowerPoint presentations (both in content and form) is safeguarded. The company's marketing department thus retains control over the presentations made by employees.
"The power of SlideDeck lies in the simple use and complete personalisation of the assets that are put into the application. Nothing standard but everything tailored to the company's needs. On top of that, the people at Smartpresentations think the same way about the importance of presentations as we do", explains Jordi de Weert of SlideDeck.
"Salesdrive is a sales application that makes it possible, after a sales conversation, to deliver the most relevant parts of the presentation to the potential client via the application. But above all, the underlying tracking offers great added value.", clarifies Patrick Lauwerys of Salesdrive. Crucial information that helps a salesperson to follow up on their potential clients. In addition, Salesdrive has interactive possibilities that go further than in a standard version of PowerPoint. Tools that help the salesperson to reach a deal more efficiently and therefore faster.
With this, Smartpresentations positions itself even more as more than merely a PowerPoint specialist. "The moment of giving a presentation, that is what it is about. You want to do that as well and convincingly as possible. That is how we help companies; with the story, the presentation and everything needed to shine at important moments."
