“Death by PowerPoint” is real. Prospects sit through the same slides, skim the same PDF, then move on. Even worse, a static deck rarely tells you what they cared about, or if they opened it at all.
Interactive sales flipbooks fix that.
Instead of a one way presentation, you give buyers something they can click, explore, and act on. A good flipbook can include buttons, links, videos, and even forms, so the experience feels more like a guided walk through your offer than a file attachment.
Flipsnack helps you build that kind of sales presentation without turning it into a complicated project. You can keep the familiar look of a sales deck, but add interactive elements and use engagement data as a signal for what to do next.
A traditional sales deck is easy to build, but it is hard to use in real sales. Once you send it, it starts to drift, and the moment it leaves your hands, you lose control.
Here is where a standard deck breaks down:
| Feature | Traditional Sales Decks (PPT/PDF) | Interactive Sales Decks (Flipsnack) |
| Delivery | Large, friction-heavy email attachments. | Simple, accessible web links. |
| User Experience | Static, one-way, and passive reading. | Guided, clickable experience with video and forms. |
| Version Control | Frequent duplicates and “version drift.” | Single “living” link; updates without resending. |
| Tracking | “Guesswork” follow-ups; no open data. | Real-time analytics (views, time spent, clicks). |
| Branding | Inconsistent fonts, layouts, and tone. | Locked templates and centralized Brand Kits. |
| Mobile Usage | Poor formatting; hard to read on phones. | Mobile-responsive HTML5 design. |
| Call to Action | Limits action to outside the document. | In-deck buttons for meetings, pricing, or leads. |
This is the interactive sales presentation you use when the prospect is still learning what you do and how it works. It is not a proposal. It is a guided overview that helps buyers explore the product, the use cases, and proof points at their own pace.
It shows up early in the sales process, usually after the first call, when you want to keep momentum without pushing pricing too soon. It is also useful when a champion needs something simple to forward to teammates who missed the meeting.
In plain terms, this is the proposal you send to help someone choose you. It usually shows the offer, the scope, proof, and what happens next.
It shows up after a discovery call or a first meeting, when the prospect is comparing options and needs something solid to share internally.
What “good” looks like operationally is simple. It is easy to share, easy to keep current, and easy to read on any device. It also looks professional enough to support a decision without extra explanation.
This is internal selling and stakeholder alignment. It happens when you need to pitch upward to leadership, or sideways to procurement, security, finance, or a sponsor who will influence the deal.
Here, clarity and credibility matter more than flash. Decision makers scan. They forward. They ask for proof. The sales person needs a format that is easy to pass along, easy to skim, and still feels credible.
All three use cases have different audiences, but they share the same operational needs: control over versions, consistent branding, easy sharing, and real insight into engagement.
That’s where Flipsnack comes in.
At trade shows, Radioshuttle found that static decks were too heavy to present and too hard to share, so they moved to an interactive Flipsnack brochure that reps could use on iPads and send as a simple link.
Pain points
What they built with Flipsnack
Results they reported
If you are looking for how to make a sales presentation in Flipsnack, the workflow is easy. You build or reuse a flipbook, add the interactive pieces, then publish and share it with the right level of access.
1. Start from a template or an existing presentation
You can upload a PDF, create from scratch, or start from a template inside Design Studio.
If you already have a layout you reuse, save it as a branded template so you can start faster next time.
2. Add your branding
Apply your Brand Kit so the right logos, fonts, and colors are ready to use across your flipbooks.
3. Add interactive elements where they help the flow
Use the Interactions tools to add things like links, buttons, and embedded videos. If you want to collect email addresses, you can add a lead form.
4. Publish and share
Publishing makes the flipbook available to readers, then you share it using the link that fits your use case.
5. Use statistics to guide next steps
Check analytics for signals like impressions, views, clicks on interactive elements, and average time spent.
If you need separate performance data per audience, create individual trackable links for the same publication.
If you are thinking about how to create a sales presentation that stays useful after you hit send, focus on outcomes. The tool should reduce version chaos, protect the brand, and give you signals you can actually use.
Sales teams move fast, but the brand still has to look consistent. Flipsnack helps here in two practical ways:
First, you can build and reuse your own templates, so reps stop rebuilding the same sales presentation structure from scratch. Templates can be used and managed from inside Design Studio.
Second, you can set up a Brand Kit with approved logos, fonts, colors, and typography presets, so the basics stay consistent across publications.
If you work with a team, Flipsnack also supports locking template elements to enforce brand guidelines, which reduces accidental brand drift.
Interactivity should support the conversation, not distract from it. Add interactive elements like buttons, links, and embedded media, so your effective sales presentations feel more like guided experiences than static files.
That means you can keep everything inside one link, instead of sending a PDF plus a separate demo video plus a separate booking link.
Examples that map well to sales:
Embedded content via iframe for richer experiences, available on Enterprise plans.
A sales proposal should be easy to open and easy to forward, but not wide open by default.
Flipsnack supports sharing with a single link, including options like full view links for a clean viewing experience.
When you need more control, you can choose private visibility options such as Unlisted, Password Locked, and several Private sharing modes, like by email or one-time passcode, depending on your plan.
You can also customize menu controls to decide what readers can do in the player, like downloading, sharing, or printing.
This is the version control problem every rep knows. Flipsnack lets you edit a published flipbook, then republish it with Update, while keeping the same link. So the client does not need a new URL every time something changes.
You can also schedule a flipbook update if you need changes to go live at a specific time.
After each presentation, you can check engagement signals like impressions, views, clicks, time spent, downloads, and page-level performance.
That helps you follow up based on signals. It will not tell you why someone hesitated, but it can show what they interacted with and where attention dropped off, including heatmaps that highlight clicks on interactive elements.
If you need to know who engaged, lead forms let you collect reader email addresses, and lead data appears in analytics exports and the stats area.
Sales and marketing teams waste time rebuilding and reformatting. What you need are repeatable workflows that cut that busywork:
Flipsnack flipbooks are published as HTML5 content that opens in a browser. That supports sharing and viewing across devices, including mobile, which matters because many buyers first open content on their phone.
When you use lead forms in a sales presentation, you can send those submissions straight into your CRM instead of copying details by hand. This works for HubSpot and Salesforce integrations for syncing lead data and tracking engagement.
If your team uses a different CRM, Flipsnack also supports automation through Zapier, which can move lead form submissions into other tools.
Interactive sales presentations can work really well, but only if you use the tools with restraint.
When every page has multiple buttons and embeds, readers stop focusing on the message. Interactivity should help someone move forward, not compete for attention.
A practical rule is to add interactive elements only where they support the next step.
Many teams still think in attachments. They send a file, then create a new one when pricing changes, and the prospect ends up with three versions.
Flipsnack works better when you treat the presentation as a link you keep current. You can edit a published flipbook and keep the same link, as long as you republish the update.
If every rep builds their own sales presentation from scratch, brand consistency and quality drop fast. It also wastes time.
Instead, agree on a few templates and reuse them.
Sharing is where things can get awkward. One rep sends an unprotected link. Another locks everything down. A third sends a download.
Pick a simple rule based on the situation. For example, use Unlisted for most sales presentations, and switch to Password Locked or Private options when content is sensitive.
The goal is not to create a perfect sales presentation once. The goal is to create a version that your team can keep improving.
Choose one use case. Standardize it. Agree on a sharing approach. Then use engagement signals to guide follow-ups and decide what to tighten next. When the presentation is easy to reuse and easy to refine, consistency becomes automatic.
