You can also prepare questions in different buckets and prepare the best answwers to each category. And yes, you have to write your script before starting your PowerPoint.
The technique described in the book is very useful. That said, if you are a nobody and try to dopt it (such as one catchphrase per slide), it is surely to backfire!
