“Strategic Thinking Applied to Making Winning Presentations to Investors”
As a business coach I find that business people always seem very interested and eager for advice on how to make winning presentations. And recently there has been an increased interest in seeking advice for making winning presentations to investors for their business. They want to know how best to prepare that winning presentation to a prospective investor. Applying strategic thinking to this request, here are ten actions I recommend to anyone desiring to make a winning presentation to investor(s).
Winning is for Wimps and Losers
People often find themselves looking for the winning scenario for themselves or their businesses. Finding the winning scenario is important for any long-term success. But even better than the winning scenario is the win-win scenario.
Kept Waiting
People who are winning at working aren't playing the I-win-you-lose game, translated in this example as I-don't-want-to-wait-so-you-can. You see, for people who are winning at working, their perspective goes beyond themselves. These are the people whose consistent, everyday actions contribute to a better workplace and a better world.
The Karma of Connections
The ability to build rapport with customers and prospects is vitally important. Why? Because, if you have rapport with your customers, they are more likely to trust you, listen to you and communicate openly with you. This in turn enables you to interact more comfortably and work more effectively together. Rapport dramatically increases your chances of winning a sale. Additionally, Having rapport means that when there are tough issues to discuss, for example price increases, you can more easily find agreement and solutions and move on.

Where Does Winning More Sales in Business Start?
Winning! What a great word. To explore winning more sales in business begins with a sound business model. In the book, "Corporate Canaries," Gary Sutton addressed the warning signs when your current business model is not working.

The Art of Closing the Sales Call!
There is not a winning technique, not a single magic bullet, nor any secret sales closing course you should take to increase your rate of closed sales calls. If you want to consistently close sales calls, consistently move business, and consitently increasing the number of prospects that turn into customers, then you need to simply work to engage the prospect, listen to what they need, provide value and yes ask for the business.

Winning Needs a Plan, Not Just a Vision
Rocky Wirtz, the owner of the Blackhawks for less than 2 years, declared that the team would be a winning franchise again. Then he took action to do something about it. He almost immediately moved to change everything about the team from the players, to home office staff, to media contracts. And just as important as winning the Stanley Cup (Congratulations Blackhawks!), is how he did it. He had a plan that had likely been formulating for years prior to his assumption of the team from his late father, Bill Wirtz. I believe that the plan you lay out to achieve the win should be as strong as your winning idea. It should be tactical, multi-faceted, well thought out, and reviewed with others. Knowing HOW to reach your goals is critical if you realistically expect to reach them.

Winning Isn’t Everything…
Vince Lombardi famously said “winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing” or some variation on that theme. Do you think it’s true? Is it really all or nothing? Well, what is true, typically, is that the runner up will not be remembered. Sometimes, our instincts are to minimize the value of winning. We tell ourselves, “It’s ok if we don’t win” or “We’ll get ‘em next time” – but really that’s a justification. Carrying that mentality makes room for failure before we have even tried to win. It is OK to lose. BUT…

Tender Writing Guidelines
Every tender that you write is different and every tender request that is sent out is unique which makes producing a winning tender on a regular basis very difficult. Fortunately there are some factors that are common to all tenders and if you understand these then your chances of winning that next big bid are much higher
Winning Disguises the True Motivation to Compete
Does your very strong craving for winning motivate you? Winning is the primary motivator as believed by a lot of extremely competitive athletes. That is true for some, but not for all. Examine your real driving force and you may discover the actual core reason is to avoid losing.
