SUMMARY:NM Rainforest Webinar - Your Good Idea: Getting it From an Idea to a Technology to a Product
DESCRIPTION:About this event\n\n\n\n\nHow do you explain your idea for your company or product? In this VIRTUAL webinar\, product expert Susan Cornelius will teach you how to create a QUICK PITCH for your product or business and how to answer the biggest questions to take your business plans to the next step: What really is your product? What makes it unique? Finally\, how should you make it better for the customer? \nThis event is offered virtually via Zoom. A meeting link will be sent to you ahead of the event. \nREGISTER HERE\nYour Good Idea: Getting It from an Idea to Technology to a Product\nOne of the hardest things to do is explain\, in simple terms\, your idea for your company and your product. Sometimes we hear people state the problem they are trying to solve. Sometimes we hear people talk at length about their technology. But ultimately\, we need to be able to speak succinctly to the following questions: What is the product? What is it called? What problem does it solve? How does it work? What makes it unique? What does it cost? How do I purchase it? Together\, we are going to work on the elements of a QUICK PITCH and refer you to other online workshops to challenge you to talk to your customers to figure out the answers to these and other questions. \nAbout Susan:\nSusan Cornelius is the Principal of Accelerate2Solutions\, an innovative\, small\, high tech company focused on creating successful\, lean start-ups.

SUMMARY:Your Good Idea:  Getting It from an Idea to Technology to a Product
DESCRIPTION:One of the hardest things to do is explain\, in simply terms\, your idea for your company and your product. Sometimes we hear people state the problem they are trying to solve. Sometimes we hear people talk at length about their technology. But ultimately\, we need to be able to speak succinctly to the following questions: What is the product? What is it called? What problem does it solve? How does it work? What makes it unique? What does it cost? How do I purchase it? Together\, we are going to work on the elements of a QUICK PITCH and refer you to other online workshops to challenge you to talk to your customers to figure out the answers to these and other questions. Join us for a 25-minute workshop and conversation followed by 30-minute mentoring sessions. Make sure to register for a session and a Zoom link will be emailed to you. \nREGISTER HERE\nAbout Susan:\nSusan Cornelius is the Principal of Accelerate2Solutions\, an innovative\, small\, high tech company focused on creating successful\, lean start-ups.
