The brand benefits

The sales benefits

PowerPoint is often the main sales tool for both presentations and proposals to new and existing clients. The ability to make quick, clear and on brand presentations, that use the latest information about the company and its services will allow the sales people to win new business. A year after one of Britain's leading Telecoms companies worldwide sales force was equipped with a WizKit, an independent internal survey found that 40% of users reported that it had helped them win new business.

To aid in connecting the sales force on a global scale, sales material from the entire organisation was collected and restyled to reflect a consistent brand image. This included product and service offerings, client case studies, client quotes, network maps, digital video and product animations.
