Good writing skills are the result of years of reading and writing (and re-writing). There's really no shortcut. But you might grab 5-10 of the best CIMs your group has produced and carefully study those.

It's all about the reps. Once you've even done one whole one, you'll realize how repetitive these things can be. Try to see which deal your company has done before is closest to your current one and look at that CIM. If the companies are pretty similar, you can actually rip a lot of the pages from there and just change them a little bit to match the current company.
You'll find a lot of your analyst friends are just adjusting some of the wordings and headings from other CIMs when making their own slides.

To become great at writing CIM's people will often say you just need experience. However, it is also important to actually think about why you are doing this slide.
I often see the analysts just put in information with no real thought to why you write about X, Y or Z. Furthermore, the biggest secret among all is that people steal slides from other banks all the time, I mean I've done it too. I've seen CIM's from BB's that contain the exact same slides as projects that went out a year ago.
That's why you have associates and VPs - to review the writing
Do you just remember them after viewing, or is there a database for old CIMs?
