Carousel template: myth vs. fact for your field

Every field has beliefs that are a little wrong. A myth vs. fact carousel corrects them one per slide pair. It works best when each correction is backed by something you've seen, not just a stronger opinion.

Use this template when

  • You keep hearing the same misconception.
  • You have evidence or first-hand experience for each correction.
  • The corrections are useful, not only contrarian.

A completed example

Example
Slide 1: 3 myths about B2B pricing pages I see every week.
Slide 2: Myth: More tiers mean more choice, so more sales.
Slide 3: Fact: Most buyers compare two options. A third tier usually exists to make the middle one look reasonable.
Slide 4: Myth: Hiding the price gets more demo requests.
Slide 5: Fact: It gets more demo requests from people who can't afford you. Qualified leads often prefer to see a range.
Slide 6: Myth: Annual discounts should be as big as possible.
Slide 7: Fact: Many companies land around 15–20%. Much larger discounts can signal the monthly price isn't real.
Slide 8: Price for the buyer who's ready. Not for the one you're trying to convince.

Caption: I believed myth #2 for three years. Which of these have you run into?

Each fact adds an explanation rather than just flipping the myth. The caption admits which myth the author believed.

Tips

  • Use three to five myths. More becomes a list, not an argument.
  • Visually separate myth and fact slides with a consistent color.
  • Only include corrections you can back up.

The example names, companies, and numbers are illustrative.
