Presentation Use and Purpose:
This presentation is designed to present the advantages of working with USWeb to a client during the first face-to-face meeting about a project and to set the stage for a consultative-selling relationship. It assumes that you have spoken to the client previously and have done some of the customer and project qualification. In other words, this presentation is designed for a customer that is ready to embark on a project or is in the vendor selection process. It is not designed to “sell” a customer on the need for an Internet/Intranet project.
All Affiliates, sales associates, and customers are different so it’s almost impossible to write one presentation that works for every situation. Use this as a template for creating a consultative presentation that works for you.
We are interested in “field testing” this presentation and adjusting it to work better for everyone. Please forward any comments or suggestions to Jay Lee or by phone at (408)
*note: This presentation uses Ariel Narrow as its main font.

The most important aspect of defining and implementing successful business solutions is to have an approach that delivers the right solution, on time, on budget, on schedule with measurable results. This approach is what we refer to as the USWeb methodology.
This methodology is made up of four distinct phases:
1. We first analyze our clients needs and requirements to gain an in-depth understanding of what type of solution is needed.
2. From this, we design a custom solution that addresses both the needs and critical issues of the project.
3. Once the plan has met our clients approval, we provide expert execution of the solution.
4. The final phase is putting the solution on-line and providing the necessary knowledge transfer to enable it’s success.
The USWeb methodology allows our clients to benefit from the collective experience of our network of experts with one goal in mind, real return on investment.
