Software Presentation PPT: Best Tools + How to Build One That Knows Your Numbers

1. Slide 1: Problem you solve — 1 slide, no more. State the pain before you show the product.
2. Slides 2-3: Who this is for — your ICP and the specific use case you solve for them.
3. Slides 4-5: Demo walkthrough — show the product doing the thing, do not describe it.
4. Slide 6: Key metrics and proof — usage, retention, NPS, ARR, or whatever validates that it works. This is where live data matters most.
5. Slide 7: Pricing or tiers — be specific. Vague pricing creates friction.
6. Slide 8: Next steps and CTA — what do you want the audience to do right now?
7. Appendix: FAQs, technical details, integrations — for the objection handlers, not the main flow.

In any software presentation, the metrics and proof slide is the hardest slide to keep current. It requires pulling real figures — usage, retention, NPS, ARR — from real systems. Most teams do this manually: open the dashboard, screenshot it, paste it in, hope it is still accurate by presentation day.

The specific risk: outdated metrics undermine credibility. Copy-paste errors create reputational risk. Citing a number that turns out to be wrong can derail an entire deal.

Coreworks solves this: a live data slide that refreshes automatically every time the deck is generated.
