AI Transformation Use Case: Sales Deck Accelerator for a Global B2B Brand
On-demand, on-brand client decks in minutes
Short Description:
A global B2B company streamlined its sales enablement process by automating PowerPoint deck creation. Using GenAI tools integrated with the corporate brand library, sales teams can now self-generate polished, compliant decks in minutes — reducing reliance on marketing and accelerating deal velocity.
Budget
- Build: $14,500 (one-time setup)
- Maintain: $300–$500/month (template updates, monitoring)
- Token Costs: ~$0.10–$0.25 per generated slide deck (depending on deck size and localization needs)
Problem
Sales teams were slowed down by:
- Pissed off Marketing Team: bogged down by 100s of requests for small PPT changes
- Manual Deck Creation: Reformatting old presentations into new brand templates.
- Delays: Waiting 1–2 weeks for marketing/design support to update decks.
- Inconsistencies: Sales reps often improvised formatting, leading to off-brand materials.
- Missed Opportunities: Slow turnaround on custom decks hindered business development momentum.
Solution
We implemented a Sales Deck Accelerator, leveraging out-of-the-box GenAI tools:
- AI Slide Parsing: the system identified and extracted slide elements such as text, images, charts, and page numbers.
- Template Mapping Automation: A pre-trained AI model analyzed the new corporate template and automatically mapped all slide elements to the correct placeholders, enforcing corporate brand guidelines for fonts, colors, and layouts.
- Real-Time Error Correction: The system detected and fixed misaligned content, removed incorrect page numbers, and flagged any anomalies for review.
- Brand Template Library: Pre-loaded with official colors, fonts, layouts, and logos — automatically enforced.
- Content Drafting: OpenAI GPT-4.1 generates draft copy, value props, and case study summaries tailored to each client.
- Quick Customization: Reps enter client name, industry, and focus areas; AI personalizes content in minutes.
- One-Click Export: Decks export directly into PowerPoint or Google Slides for final edits.
- Marketing Oversight: Compliance rules and brand checks applied automatically, reducing approvals to light-touch review.
