We used to believe that if you built a better mousetrap, the mice would come. Today, you have to prove that you are the best mousetrap—and then you have to go to where the mice are.
Practice your one-minute commercial and keep in mind that your pitch should be different, depending on whether you’re talking in front of the board of directors, CEO, CFO - or others.
