This presentation is an interactive session at the Ohio Growth Summit 2014 and is for the entrepreneur who wants to improve their ability to effectively communicate their business potential to a variety of audiences. Communicating your business can make or break your potential for success, whether you are seeking investors, bank loans, partners, or employees or even family support. If you’ve ever had a pitch fall flat, a potential partner not understand what you can provide and what you need, or difficulty recruiting employees to your vision, then Pitching Your Business to Investors, Bankers, Partners, Employees and Family is for you. Participants in session received guides and worksheets to help craft and deliver great pitches. Participants completed the session more focused, competent and capable when pitching their company. The eBook accompanying this presentation is available at Amazon: http://ow.ly/xQDNJ
