1-2-3 Newsletter - Read Time - 5 Mins

Hello, and welcome to a another edition of the Tech for Finance Newsletter where we have:

In this example I'm using Storyd.ai to create a presentation to show analysis of most profitable customers vs least profitable customers.

Step 1 - Sign up for a Storyd.ai account and then create a new story

You'll see there're some pre-set starters, but in this scenario we're starting a story from scratch.

Step 2 - Give your topic.

This is the instruction I gave:

"I work in a finance team, and I have been doing some customer revenue analysis. I want to present my findings from the analysis that shows most profitable customers cs least profitable customers

Step 3 - Edit your script

This is where you can tailor the text per slide that Storyd has generated. You can also use the selection on the left to choose the type of element you want to be shown on the slide, for example 'number'.

You'll also see that, because Storyd is focused on helping you tell better stories, that it's split the slides into themes like context, villian, despair, hero, plan and closing.

Using this framework will help make your presentation more convincing and improve your ability to influence.

Step 4 - Review your slides

Once the slides have been produced, you can then download as a PDF, or generate the PowerPoint deck (Pro).

You can also edit the colours, text and theme.

PRO - Additional features

If you've got the pro edition, you can also add charts that can contain your own, more detailed, data.

I love how this tool will help you tell better stories with your presentations.

By breaking down your presentation into different elements of a story, you are increasing your impact when presenting.

However, there are improvements to be made in the script editor, and it's still a little bit tricky working with your own data.

The script that it generated was also quite a way away from the subject matter I wanted to present, so next time around I would provide a more detailed topic.
