#2I don’t really get the analytics proposition: I don’t design presentations to be read - I design them to be presented?

Investors usually ask for presentation decks to be sent.

#5I can’t see why people would be criticizing this. It’s always best for everyone if the are more alternatives.

Hey Alex, it doesn't mention in the title, but Sizle is a tool geared towards sales/marketing teams to help them make sales actions (follow ups with customers, leads, etc) based on when their presentation is opened, what slides were watched the most, etc.

The interesting thing is that alternatives to PowerPoint are actually easier than before.
Does anyone know where the trend towards simpler presentations started? In the '90s, everyone went crazy with transitions, but even beyond that you had a more verbose format, with your usual headline + three bullet points format.
These days it's often one phrase or even word per slide.
Keynote and its more minimalistic design (or arguably feature set) was one contributor, but I think it started even before that.

#10Hey all, Sizle is an alternative to PowerPoint for sales teams that need to see when their document was opened by a client, what slides they saw, time spent, and it can also automatically schedule a follow up with the viewer. Currently testing it with a bunch of companies here in Australia, but if anyone here is in sales and marketing I'd love to have you try out the (experimental) beta :)
