In this 2-hour project-based course, you will learn the basics of building persuasive sales presentations using PowerPoint and Copilot AI. We will do this by creating a methodology-based sales pitch presentation for a fictional project management software company. You'll learn how to leverage Copilot to quickly craft a compelling narrative, import product and prospect information, match product features to client needs, and even model pricing scenarios formulating an economic offer. This project is particularly beneficial for business developers and sales representatives, allowing to create sales pitch presentations better and faster. The only required prerequisites are a valid Copilot and Microsoft 365 license, and a fundamental knowledge of Powerpoint (create and edit slides).
