Presenting portfolios is one of my favorite ways to share my work! I love seeing people’s reactions when they see some of my work and, when they say, “Wow, that is really great!”, I say, “That’s because it is really great, and that is because I am really great.” This is the best way I know how to present my work and my art.
Sure, there are a lot of ways you can present yourself, such as with a portfolio or a slide show. The problem, however, is that many people want to see pictures of themselves, and many people like to see just pictures of themselves, which can be really limiting. The same is true for presentations.
It’s one thing to have a portfolio, but it’s another thing entirely to have a slide show. It is a very different story to have a portfolio when you don’t have a slide show. It is a different story to be able to present.
At first glance, presentation techniques could look like a black and white thing. With a slide show, however, there are so many different ways it can be done.
There are a lot of ways it can be done. And so, the most effective way to present your product is to give it a visual look.
This is something that I like to talk about often. The more you put out and the more you give, the more it becomes apparent how much of a gift it is to you to be able to present your product. Now, if you are selling a product, you likely have a good idea of how it is going to look. If you are selling a service, however, you likely have no idea.
The problem is that for most people it is impossible to get a visual idea of what the product they are selling is. They are looking at the product in their mind, which makes them unable to see what it looks like. They have to imagine it, which doesn’t always make it look quite right. But that’s okay.
Presenting a service is the same problem. We often have no idea what the services we are providing will look like. We have to imagine what it will be like, and that is fine. But the way its done, the product is presented to us completely in our minds. Its not like we are presenting a computer that you can open up and play a game that we have come up with. We are presenting it to you in your minds.
But you need to be doing your job. Your job is to make your life a better place.
This problem comes from the fact that a lot of services are really about presentation. For instance, the way we present your personal insurance will probably determine what happens to your insurance after you die. That’s your job.
