    What ever happened to listening to age old adages like, "you never get a second chance to make a first impression."

    Lead strong. Your best work should be shown first. Hopefully, the subsequent pages are relatively good too. But that first project will shade the interpretation of the rest.

    If you start off with something pretty good or, god forbid, mediocre in the client/employer's eyes, then you're spending the rest of the presentation trying to build their confidence back up.

    Keep it simple. And if you need a metaphor to figure this out, this is like baseball. Three strikes and you're out.
