Free registration at the forum removes this block.What is the investor/partner expecting from meeting you? Are they looking for new products and expecting a pitch? While I think it's great to have an elevator pitch down you also don't want to blow your chance with them. If this is a person that you have some access to I would just be polite, professional, and invite them to coffee. I would tell them that you're interested in _________ which they have had some obvious success in. Buy them coffee and take notes. Don't ask for anything. It can grow into a great relationship. This is how I found several of the people I work with today.
Option 2.... This is a "sharktank" style encounter. You've got one shot and will never see this person again.
It's your job to showcase your track record, their potential profit, and how you can benefit them. Any relevant experience, testimonials, or visual aids you can supply are always a plus! If you come off as needy or desperate that is an INSTANT turn off.
Good Morning / Afternoon Guys,
I'm wondering, how would you guys go about making an impression on someone you really want to develop a relationship with?
I have an opportunity to present myself and my product to the head of one of the companies I've literally ALWAYS wanted to work. They're looking for new people to go into business with, and I'm sure they're getting a lot of responses. Obviously they're not going to immediately jump into bed with people, and the product has to speak for itself as well but i believe the person also has to play their part. At the very least i'm really just trying to secure some sort of relationship with them. I don't want to beg the guy and seem desperate but i want to show how serious i am and how much i want to work with him specifically. What would you do?
