A successful e-commerce sales presentation isn't just about a pretty PowerPoint. It's a emotional journey which takes your prospect from “I’m curious” to “when do we start?”. Here's how to structure this journey. The 5-step structure Time 1: The hook (2 minutes) Start with a highlight related to the prospect's industry. Not by “Hello, I am X and I do Y”. Examples: “Did you know that 68% of Shopify stores have a conversion rate below 2%?” “Your direct competitor makes 3 times more sales with the same traffic. Here’s why.” The goal: to capture attention and create a sense of urgency. Time 2: The diagnosis (5 minutes) Show that you understand the prospect's situation. Present the data you collected during the discovery call: Current traffic and main sources Conversion rate compared to industry benchmarks Average basket and potential for improvement Points of friction identified on the site Time 3: The action plan (5 minutes) Detail your approach in 3-4 areas maximum. Too many details drown out the message. Each axis must be linked to a measurable metric: “Checkout optimization → +0.5% conversion rate” “Redesign of product sheets → +15% average basket” “Email marketing abandoned carts → recovery of 10-15% of abandonments” Time 4: The projection — the key moment (3 minutes) This is where everything plays out. Share your screen and show a simulated Shopify dashboard with the projected metrics after your intervention. The prospect sees its future dashboard : the graphs go up, the conversion rate increased from 1.2% to 2.5%, the turnover doubled. It's all in the Shopify interface he knows. It's concrete, credible, emotional. Leave a silence after the screening. Let the prospect visually absorb what they see. Do not fill the silence — it is in this silence that the decision is made. Time 5: The offer and closing (5 minutes) Present your offer with a clear price. Remind the expected ROI: “For an investment of €X, here are the projected results that we have just seen together.” End with a commitment question: “When would be the best time to start?” (not “Are you interested?”). Mistakes that ruin a presentation Talk about yourself for 10 minutes — the prospect doesn't care, he wants to talk about himself Show generic customer cases — personalize everything for this specific prospect Skip the diagnostic phase — without context, the projection has no impact Use static slides for projection - A animated dashboard has 10x more impact Tools for a perfect presentation To succeed in this course, you need: DashSim — for the dashboard projection (the key moment) Google Meet/Zoom — for video with fluid screen sharing A good microphone — your voice is your first sales tool 3-4 slides max — for the diagnosis and action plan (no more) To learn more about data-driven presentation techniques, consult our article on how to impress your customers with e-commerce data .
A successful e-commerce sales presentation isn't just about a pretty PowerPoint. It's a emotional journey which takes your prospect from “I’m curious” to “when do we start?”. Here's how to structure this journey.
The 5-step structure
Time 1: The hook (2 minutes)
Start with a highlight related to the prospect's industry. Not by “Hello, I am X and I do Y”. Examples:
- “Did you know that 68% of Shopify stores have a conversion rate below 2%?”
- “Your direct competitor makes 3 times more sales with the same traffic. Here’s why.”
The goal: to capture attention and create a sense of urgency.
Time 2: The diagnosis (5 minutes)
Show that you understand the prospect's situation. Present the data you collected during the discovery call:
- Current traffic and main sources
- Conversion rate compared to industry benchmarks
- Average basket and potential for improvement
- Points of friction identified on the site
Time 3: The action plan (5 minutes)
Detail your approach in 3-4 areas maximum. Too many details drown out the message. Each axis must be linked to a measurable metric:
- “Checkout optimization → +0.5% conversion rate”
- “Redesign of product sheets → +15% average basket”
- “Email marketing abandoned carts → recovery of 10-15% of abandonments”
Time 4: The projection — the key moment (3 minutes)
This is where everything plays out. Share your screen and show a simulated Shopify dashboard with the projected metrics after your intervention.
The prospect sees its future dashboard: the graphs go up, the conversion rate increased from 1.2% to 2.5%, the turnover doubled. It's all in the Shopify interface he knows. It's concrete, credible, emotional.
Leave a silence after the screening. Let the prospect visually absorb what they see. Do not fill the silence — it is in this silence that the decision is made.
Time 5: The offer and closing (5 minutes)
Present your offer with a clear price. Remind the expected ROI: “For an investment of €X, here are the projected results that we have just seen together.”
End with a commitment question: “When would be the best time to start?” (not “Are you interested?”).
Mistakes that ruin a presentation
- Talk about yourself for 10 minutes— the prospect doesn't care, he wants to talk about himself
- Show generic customer cases— personalize everything for this specific prospect
- Skip the diagnostic phase— without context, the projection has no impact
- Use static slides for projection- A animated dashboard has 10x more impact
