This is a course is for the start-up founder and biz dev roles who are looking to boost their ventures 10x. It's a combination of partnerships, branding and business development where you are encouraged to be a refined version of yourself, to learn the delicate balance necessary to create credibility and trust and to do so with enough people that your venture is grown 10x.
Most professionals approach these types of courses with basic sales tactics rebranded under the biz dev title. And while sales tactics are very useful, the 10x solution is still not solved: how do you grow your venture to be far bigger than just you?
It is an absolute fact that you will not get to there on tactics alone. The reality is that to be an innovator that is welcomed to the TED stage, the one that partners with major brands like Virgin and GE, and the one that is trusted and revered, you need to be a thought leader.
It is a totally different approach to business development, one very few people know or even talk about but one that is absolutely necessary to penetrate the more competitive markets where people are buying image, trust and predictability. I promise you this is the most honest and straight forward class for why your business is stagnant and how partnerships, in the realest way, can help you grow.
Some questions we will address:
How do you build credibility when you haven't built anything yet?
Do you want to create partnerships or client-relationships with major corporations?
How are you going to grow the company once you've received funding?
How do you build relationships with real decision makers at Fortune 500 corporations?
And how do you build the right credibility so corporations take you seirously?
