Well, with these helpful tips of Do's and Don'ts, you are sure to leave a better impression to your next potential investor, or even get funded!
So what are these magical hints?
Top Do's:
1. Evaluate your idea. Look at your idea, and see how far you have gone with it. Write a list of things that your idea will do or already does, that others can't match. List all of the features and parts of the idea in the most broken down format that you can, to provide a basis for possible improvements and give you the most leverage to really analyze all aspects of the idea, from the bottom up, literally. List out all of the advantages and disadvantages of your product or service
2. Look at your idea, and ask yourself this simple question, "If I saw this idea in the stores, or if I saw this service, would I really purchase it?" If your answer is no, re-evaluate the idea, adding cause and effect relationships and potential situations as extra reasoning behind the idea.
3. Go to your family, friends, your community or possibly even on larger scale potential customers and ask these people about the existing competition of your idea. Do potential customers feel that your idea is necessary, or is the market already inflated with competition and lacks expansion room necessary for your idea to be a hit.
4. Analyze your market completely. Find statistics and numbers that show you exactly how the competition has been doing, where most of their customers come from, and are their customers completely satisfied with their business. Or is your competitor the only one out there and so the market is automatically deferred to them. Make charts and reports and be ready to defend your side with statistical information as well as methods of appeal; Ethos, Pathos, and Logos.
5. Know your target audience/potential customers like you know the back of your hand. Your target audience is your everything, without them, your business is worth 0. In order to get their attention, you need to know them, be them, be in each and every one of your potential customer's shoes, hypothetically. Even though all people are different, you must find the common similarities and build off them. Then list out the weaknesses of your idea compared to your target market. Break it down, the best way to build success off your weaknesses, is to really know your weaknesses and find places to fix them.
6. Advertise your idea to potential investors. This is especially important.
