1. Plan in Analog
A Steve Jobs presentation has all the elements of a great movieheroes and villains, stunning visuals, and a supporting cast. And, like a movie director, Steve Jobs "storyboards" the plot. Before you go digital and open PowerPoint, spend time brainstorming, sketching, or whiteboarding. Remember, youre delivering a story. Slides complement the story.

2. Focus on Benefits
Your listeners are asking themselves one question: why should I care? Steve Jobs sells the benefit behind every new product or featureand hes very clear about it. Why buy an iPhone 3G? Because "its twice as fast at half the price." Whats so great about Time Capsule? "All your irreplaceable photos, videos, and documents are automatically protected and easy to retrieve if theyre ever lost." The Apple Web site also keeps the focus on the benefit, with features like "10 Reasons Why You'll Love a Mac." Nobody cares about your product or service. They only care about how your product or service will improve their lives.
