Remember: 95 % of how well your presentation is going is determined before you even start!

Know who the audience will be. Research who will be attending and what their backgrounds are so that you know something about who will be listening to your presentation and making the decision on your request.

do your homework: Target your message to the investors. Do some homework by talking with a key player among the investors who will be in attendance. Find out what some of their "hot buttons" are and what they look for in their investment opportunities.

 Prepare your presentation to assure that you will keep within the time allotted to you.

 Arrive early and be ready to present at the appointed time.

Be concise and get to your point quickly. Investors can lose interest very quickly if your presentation does not get to the point quickly
