Also bear in mind that financial or managerial support for a project often has as much to do with the individuals leading the project as with the concept. Backers need to be convinced of project leaders’ and key staff’s ability to be the face and drivers of the idea, as well as of their honesty and integrity. Since you are presumably one of the key team members, how you present is just as important as what you present in building audience trust. Be sure to communicate clearly and professionally throughout.
Critical Elements:
· Highlight the key elements of your business concept and implementation plan that are most likely to convince your audience to support the idea.
· Strategically select the information you will present and the level of detail based on your intended audience.
· Anticipate the key information the audience will want to know, the types of concerns they are likely to have, and the types of questions they are likely to ask.
· Highlight the project leaders’ and key staff’s ability to be the face and drivers of the idea.
· Your presentation should be clear, professional, and engaging to a diverse business audience.
