With IPP panels appearing on the horizon for Monday, I’ve been doing some strategic prep on my increasingly frequent breaks between homework.
Rather unintentionally, I found myself looking up past episodes of the CBC program Dragon’s Den on YouTube for some quick entertainment, and learned some valuable lessons for when we all face the CreComm Dragons next week:
#1 Being cute, creative, and funny isn’t enough.
#2 Don’t argue if you get rejected.
#3 Have realistic goals and don’t be creepy/patronizing.
#4 Great ideas fall flat if you can’t convince the panel you have a solid strategy and interested markets.
#5 Be able to explain yourself in plain English, and under a minute.
Outstanding! Great advice.
