About Siebel Presentations

Siebel Presentations enables sales representatives to create presentations using templates that you create in Microsoft PowerPoint.

Traditionally, sales representatives create presentations by starting with a past presentation and then modifying it for the current prospect. Sales representatives must not only change such basic information as the customer name, but also possibly restructure the presentation so that it fits the new prospect's unique needs. For example, the original presentation might focus on price, but the new presentation might focus on other decision criteria, such as speed or extra functionality.

After the administrator creates the right templates, the sales representative can click one button to build the correct presentation for a specific account or opportunity. Siebel Presentations uses information that sales representatives enter in the early stages of an opportunity to create the presentation.

Sales representatives can add deal-specific information to the presentation without worrying about formatting or presentation. Using the Presentation Library, sales representatives can find any additional information and automatically insert it into the presentation.
