To avoid insipid feedback and rejection in sales presentations, it's crucial to focus on telling a compelling story rather than just showing a lot of information. This can be a common mistake, especially if you've spent hours on analysis. While it may seem important to include all the details, when it comes to making a presentation, it's often more effective to delete more information rather than adding. This helps to keep the presentation engaging and focused, which can lead to more positive feedback and acceptance.
