Spoken Impact

On Monday, four generation 1 students traveled to the cities to attend an educational presentation. The four of us are involved in the Power Trowel project that has reached the finals of the Minnesota Cup Competition. Only two other teams are left in the student dividion of the entrepreneurial competition. The presentation we attended was focused on the proper way to give a business presentation. As we found out, a business presentation is far different from a technical presentation. Business presentations focus mainly on how the product will make an investor money. No attention is paid to how the product works or the math behind it, but rather why people will buy it and the risk involved to the investors. The presentation will sell our idea to the investors. The team that best sells their idea will be the victor. I believe there was value in the four of us attending the Spoken Impact presentation as all of us walked away with new ideas and ways to sell the product that most likely would not have been there hadn't we attended.
