Selling an investor requires specific “homework”, techniques, and strategies.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Homework that works well INCLUDES:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\/1\/ taking notes on a moleskin.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Just like a clipboard makes you look official when you’re wrangling, a moleskin looks great when your melding minds with the investor mentors.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Write. Down. Specifics.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ask for specifics and write down intros. These investors have a great Rolodex that helps with DISTRIBUTION.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For example…<\/div>\n
