Simple A-to-Z Services Slide for SharePoint that actually works
K.P. Senthilkumar (KPS) was regarded as the ‘Go-to Expert’ for any SharePoint-related queries by the ICT staff at Airbus during his four-year assignment at the Toulouse campus. Throughout this period, he not only delivered process consulting services but also consistently showcased the company’s tools capabilities in his presentation handouts to potential clients.
In most of his PowerPoint decks, KPS has included a simple yet impactful slide at the end listing the services he delivered on the SharePoint platform from A to Z. This subtly communicated that he along with TechM team could provide end-to-end solutions to customers.
This "Thank You" slide functioned as both a branding tool and a call to action, making it easy for clients to reach out to the Single Point of Contact via email or phone, ultimately driving more leads and expanding opportunities.
