What is Pecha Kucha?
Japanese for "chit-chat," it's a storytelling format that forces you to be concise, visual, and human.
The rules are simple: 20 slides shown for 20 seconds each.
The slides advance automatically, resulting in a total presentation time of exactly 6 minutes and 40 seconds. This constraint is not a limitation—it's a liberation. It forces you to eliminate "fluff" and focus on the absolute core of your idea.
Traditional presentations often bore audiences within the first minute. Pecha Kucha was designed to keep presentations moving, keep audiences engaged, and prevent "death by PowerPoint."
!Why for Sales?
Think of it not as a lecture, but as an investment pitch. Your goal is to get the audience to "buy" your product using their limited funds (attention and budget).
It forces you to answer: "Why should they care?" instead of just listing features.
