Successfully Presenting and Defending Your Business Plan
Successfully Presenting and Defending Your Business Plan
As detailed in Chapter 5, it is useful to structure your communication process to the investor in a systematic, three-stage process. First (perhaps following a brief telephone conversation about the new venture), the potential investor reads your business plan. Second, if the investor is sufficiently interested, you will be invited to meet with him or her and make a short presentation of yourself and your business concept. Third, this meeting will culminate in a question-and-answer (Q&A) session, when the investor will want to clarify any issues that are not yet clear. In this chapter, we are concerned with the second and third stage—the successful presentation and defense of your business plan.
