SUMMARY:Operating on a Lean Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Focus on the problem\, solution\, and customer segment squares first.\n \n*Important* there are lots of “canvas” models on the internet. The two most popular are the “Business Model Canvas” and the “Lean Canvas” models. In Venture Forth\, we use the Lean Canvas but we also refer to the Business Model Canvas as an additional reference. \n \nQuestions to ask yourself:\n\n\nDo you have a hypothesis to each one of the 9 squares on the page?\nIs there a clear way to test that hypothesis?  (not indirect\, but direct proof)\nWhat is your specific customer segment? What is your entry point? Focus there before a thinking about expansion markets.\n\n\nWhat order should I fill out the Lean Canvas? \n(According to this image\, Tech Ranch recommends filling out 2\, 4\, then 1  first)\n

SUMMARY:The Entrepreneur Toolkit: Leading with Empathy to Close the Sale
DESCRIPTION:Register for this series! \nThe Entrepreneur Toolkit: Leading with Empathy to Close the Sale\nIn business\, we are constantly selling yet one of the biggest challenges for any business\, and especially new ones\, is the ability to close deals – a sale\, a partnership or even an endorsement. Deep understanding of the markets that you serve as well as the various roles and stakeholders you encounter is critical to successful sales. This workshop gives participants insight on the best sales practices to “close.” Participants will be asked to share and comment on the techniques and processes they have used to successfully close early and on-going sales to end customers or across their ecosystem. \nIn this workshop you will learn about: \n\nLeading with empathy to uncover what others really care about and learning to speak their “language”\nGetting creative on the offer to build a winning scenario for everyone\nConcretely asking for the “close”\n\nThis is workshop 6 of 6 for our US-Russia Impact Bridge series please join our Facebook Group for upcoming events! \nНабор инструментов для предпринимателей: ведущие к цели закрытия  продаж\nВ бизнесе мы постоянно продаем\, но одной из самых больших проблем для любого бизнеса\, и особенно новых\, является способность заключать сделки – продажа\, партнерство или даже одобрение. Глубокое понимание рынков\, которые вы обслуживаете\, а также различных ролей и заинтересованных сторон\, с которыми вы сталкиваетесь\, имеет решающее значение для успешных продаж. Этот семинар дает участникам представление о лучших методах продаж для «закрытия». Участникам будет предложено поделиться и прокомментировать методы и процессы\, которые они использовали для успешного закрытия ранних и текущих продаж для конечных потребителей или по всей их экосистеме. \nНа этом семинаре вы узнаете о: \n\n С чувством сопереживания выявлять то\, что действительно волнует других\, и учиться говорить на их «языке»\n Креативность в предложении создать выигрышный сценарий для всех\n Конкретно просить «закрыть»\n\nЭто семинар 6 из 6 для нашей серии Impact Bridge между США и Россией. Пожалуйста\, присоединяйтесь к нашей группе в Facebook для предстоящих событий!
