Apple just released the most brilliant sales deck Iโ€™ve ever seen.

They created an 81-slide presentation template for broke college kids to convince their parents to buy them a $2,000 MacBook.

Iโ€™m not kidding.

Itโ€™s called โ€œWhy I Need a Mac for Collegeโ€ and itโ€™s absolutely brilliant.

The presentation has everything: ROI calculations, competitive comparisons, objection handling, even guilt trips about vitamin D and spine health:

My favorite slide? ๐Ÿ‘‡

Apple is doing Certificate Marketing! ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿณ *chefโ€™s kiss*

Hereโ€™s what happened:

Student wants Mac โ†’ Parents have money โ†’ Apple gives student the pitch deck

Apple basically turned every college student into a trained sales rep with ready-made slides and arguments.

The marketing idea: Help users pitch your product internally ๐Ÿ’ก

Every B2B marketer knows this problem:

But itโ€™s damn difficult.

Game over.

Hereโ€™s the problem: Your biggest fans are your worst salespeople. They know exactly why they need your product, but they can't explain it in a way that gets budget approved.

The solution: Arm users with the right words.

Enterprise companies solved this paradox years ago: They have dedicated โ€œbusiness valueโ€ teams that create custom slides for customers to take to their own bosses. Itโ€™s how they close million-dollar deals

Apple just applied the same strategy to consumers.

Every company where users โ‰  buyers should be doing this immediately.

The crazy part? Itโ€™s stupidly simple to implement.

Iโ€™ll be covering:

  1. ๐ŸŽฏ The copy & paste template that 90% of companies should start with

  2. ๐Ÿง  4 psychological triggers that guarantee budget approval

  3. ๐Ÿฆ The โ€œice creamโ€ principle that makes expensive feel worthwhile

  4. ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Rare examples from companies generating millions this way

  5. ๐Ÿ’ฐ Proven scripts for CFOs, CTOs, and every buyer type

  6. โš ๏ธ The fatal mistake that kills most internal sales (avoid this)
