NM Rainforest Webinar - So You Want to Start a Start-up?

Your Great Idea + Your Passion + Your Great Pitch = The First Step to Success with Susan Cornelius

A successful pitch has to sell. To do that, it needs to engage and surprise the audience you’re pitching to.

You have what you think is a great idea for a new product and/or service. You are excited about your idea. You explain it to friends and family and they nod their heads and ask questions. How do you get others excited about what you are doing and really get their attention? What are you telling them you are doing? Do you think that people can see your idea succeeding? A great pitch has to grab your audience. It needs to engage and to surprise the audience you’re pitching to. With a great pitch you demonstrate your passion, and you can grab people’s attention. But with a great story about how you are innovating both your product and making a difference in the lives of others, you can find others who will help you succeed and help you get to the point where you not only have a product but you can attract the money you need to launch your idea. Join us for a quick, impactful session that will leave you wanting to learn more! Bring your ideas with you and get ready to succeed.
