Some people pay relevant attention to the preparation of presentation, they
have perfect visuals, logical structure etc., but it´s delivery what people will
consider and remember. Practice makes perfect, is an English idiom, and from
my experience I must confirm.

To remember the principles of presentations, Daly and Engleberg (1994) propose
a “7 P approach”, which you might find helpful. So, in a presentation you must
consider:
Purpose: Why are you speaking? What do you want audience members to know,
think, believe or do as a result of your presentation?
People: Who are your audience? How do the characteristics, skills, opinions, and
behaviour of your audience affect your purpose?
Place: Why are you speaking to this group now and in this place? How can you
plan and adapt to the layout of this place? How can you use visual aids to help
you achieve your purpose?
Preparation: Where and how can you find good ideas and information for your
speech? What kind of supporting materials do you need?
Planning: Is there a natural order to the ideas and information you will use? What
are the most effective ways to organize your speech in order to adapt it to the
purpose, people, place, etc.
Personality: How do you become associated with your message in a positive
way? What can you do to demonstrate your competence, charisma, and
character to the audience?
Performance: What form of delivery is best suited to the purpose of your speech?
What delivery techniques will make your presentation more effective? How
should you practice?
