Signposting helps listeners follow: Let's start with... Moving on to... That brings me to my next point. As I mentioned earlier... To sum up...
Visuals: As you can see from this graph... This chart shows... I'd like to draw your attention to... Say on this slide.
Questions: That's a good question. If I understand you correctly... I'm afraid I don't have that information, but I'll get back to you.
Use short sentences, don't read your slides, and involve the audience with you and we.

Examples
The aim of this presentation is to explain our new customer service strategy.
Bu təqdimatın məqsədi yeni müştəri xidməti strategiyamızı izah etməkdir.
I've divided my talk into three main parts.
Çıxışımı üç əsas hissəyə bölmüşəm.
That brings me to my next point: the budget.
Bu, məni növbəti məsələyə, büdcəyə gətirir.
As you can see from this chart, sales doubled in the second quarter.
Bu diaqramdan göründüyü kimi, ikinci rübdə satışlar iki dəfə artdı.
I'd like to draw your attention to the figures on the right.
Diqqətinizi sağ tərəfdəki rəqəmlərə yönəltmək istərdim.
I'm afraid I don't have those figures with me, but I'll get back to you by email.
Təəssüf ki, o rəqəmlər yanımda deyil, amma sizə e-poçtla cavab verəcəm.
To sum up, the new system will save time and reduce costs.
Yekun olaraq, yeni sistem vaxta qənaət edəcək və xərcləri azaldacaq.
