How to get more out of your investor meetings for the same amount of work!

November 22, 2022 by OptionsAndTraders

Hi Founders,

A couple of weeks ago, one of my mentees was struggling with getting a response from investors.

“It seemed like they really liked what we are doing, but at the end of the call, they told me that we were not sure about the deal.”

“And what did you say?” I asked.

“Well, I told them to trust me. I really know this space, and I spent 1 year building this product. I am an expert with 10 years of experience in this industry.”

“Okay, so did you find yourself justifying yourself to them?”

“Yes … I need the money.”

“Okay, do this next time. Say this, “I am curious, what kind of deal are you expecting to find?” This will give you some real insight in what they want.”

Why does this work?

It’s simple, it gets straight to the point.

Investors don’t want to be convinced; they are just too nice to say no.

By asking them questions and digging deeper, you can understand their mindset and identify what they invest in.

Also, this makes them feel like you understand what they want.

It shows them that you care about what they think, and you aren’t just after their money.

Investors DON’T INVEST because they understand your product.

Investors INVEST because they feel like you understand them.

So, you don’t need to elaborate on how great your startup is.

You just ask questions and use empathy.

Once they know that you understand them, they will trust you.

That’s how you increase your potential for closing a deal.

If you found this helpful and want to learn more about an investor sales funnel.

Feel free to contact me and follow me on LinkedIn.

How to Get 1% Better at Closing Investors When Fundraising

September 12, 2022 by OptionsAndTraders

If you’re looking to grow your business sustainably with a low CAC, join us at AreaHype.

Kim Kardashian, reality TV star and entrepreneur is putting her finger in the cookie jar!

She is joining in on the action with her new venture firm SKKY partners.Teaming up with Jay Sammons, a former Carlyle Group partner.

Yes! They are going to be Co-Founders / Co-Managing Directors!

Their thesis primarily focuses on: entertainment, consumer products, hospitality, luxury, and digital commerce.

This is great to hear, but deep down, how do you actually attract their attention?

It’s 2022 and investor sentiment has drastically dropped due to post-pandemic collateral damage, a crash in the crypto market, and the cascading repositioning of stock portfolios.

You’ve probably been told no over 100 times this year. If you haven’t been told no, you aren’t working hard enough to fundraise.

Don’t worry, it’s part of the process.

Why are they rejecting you? Why are they saying no? Why is it so damn hard to fundraise in 2022? Isn’t there a ton of dry powder? How do some founders raise millions of dollars without a product?

The answer is simple. “Make something people want.” 
— Paul Graham Co-Founder of Y-Combinator.

Guess what? There are tons of duplicate ideas out there, it’s almost 2023, and most of the solutions we need to propel society forward have already been created.

This leads to over-saturation, a distaste for ideas that are too similar to one another. It’s very rare to be 100% unique and unlike anything out there, because we naturally learn from other people’s mistakes and build something better.

How do you stand out?

Outside of a really great idea, you need to be sustainable. Investors don’t want to risk a ton of money on something that might work. They want to be pretty damn sure that something will work.

Simple put, you need to de-risk the investor.

This is easily done by having a low customer acquisition cost (CAC).

Why are you burning so much money trying to get customers to figure out who the hell you are?

Think about it, what the hell are you doing spending $3000+ a month on ads that lead to less than 1% conversion? Is this sustainable?

Let’s do the math, You pay $3000 to potentially get 5,000 more views?

You convert 1% of them, or 5000 x 0.01 = 50 new customers.

In order to break even, you need to make at least $100 on average per new customer. Can you do that month over month? Some people can, some people can’t.

Most of us can’t.

The system is designed to make you believe that you can obtain more customers if you keep throwing more and more money into ads.

Let’s think about that.

Take the risk, and throw more money to hope that you don’t have overlapping views of previous customers. Hope that you can maintain your growth.

If you ask any successful investor, hope doesn’t pay the bills. Results do.

So hope doesn’t mean jack when you are burning more money to try and make it. This is why a lot of startups fail.

The solution is simple: grow sustainably by reducing your CAC and becoming profitable sooner. Make sure you can get money in the bank, and make sure you aren’t just burning it on hope.

This will significantly de-risk your prospective investor, and make it easier for you to raise capital.

Think about it, wouldn’t you want to spend less money to make more money? If you tell an investor that you make more money and spend less to acquire a customer than your competitors, it’s a no-brainer!

We figured out a way to do this at AreaHype.

Currently, all forms of marketing and advertising charge businesses upfront for high CAC and little hope.

Marketing Secret: working with creators delivers the best conversion rates. Unfortunately, the platforms they use still rely on legacy technology which charges businesses upfront.

We figured out a sustainable way to deliver GUARANTEED results before businesses pay with our 1-click routing and checkout.

Skip the BS, stop wasting money, and don’t pay for hope. Pay for results.

Sign up for our waitlist today.

We will drastically reduce your CAC while helping you grow sustainably.

“Get paid to live life!”

Why You Aren’t Successful, and How You Can Become a Millionaire by Learning From My 1 Simple Mistake!

April 16, 2020 by OptionsAndTraders

Ken here,

I want to talk to you guys about a big mistake I did with my small portfolio account on live stream. This will teach you guys a valuable lesson for trading and anything you are doing in life.

If you read the previous post, you saw that RCL stock was trading at about $36.28 when I purchased it with a $330 position which was more than half of my portfolio.

Take a look at the chart from the last post 4/15/20.

This is the chart for 4/16/20.

Source: thinkorswim

I purchased one $37 Call contract with the expiration date of 4/24/20 for about $330.

This stock is following my 5 elements of SUCCESS!

  1. Gravitational theory
  2. Trend Pattern Squeeze
  3. Support and Resistance
  4. RSI
  5. MACD

Look at that! Within a couple of hours from 11:00 AM on 4/15/20 to about 1:00 PM on 4/15/20, the stock popped up to $37.46.

I was absolutely right on the call! I was absolutely right on the money! So what is the problem?

I didn’t lock in the trade.

You can see what happened the very next day after not locking in the trade. The market crashed. This was unexpected, but lets face it . . . sometimes in life, SHIT HAPPENS. You have no control over what everybody else is doing. You only have control over yourself.

This wasn’t because I was being greedy and hoping for more money.

This was because I created a game winning strategy, a master plan, and I didn’t stick to the plan.

The stock price moved to the call price a lot sooner than I thought, and I decided not to lock in the position with a day trade. Rather than turning that $330 into $420 within 2 hours and profiting $90, I decided to do nothing. I took a $90 loss with my stop loss back up plan instead.

I stood like a damn deer in headlights. (Yes . . . I accidentally hit one)

This is something you cannot afford to do if you want to be successful.

It doesn’t matter what you are doing, playing a game, studying for a hard exam, trading options, trading stocks, or trying to lose weight. If you set a game winning strategy and you do not commit to your plan, you will fail.

You have to be diligent and learn to trust yourself, be confident, take less risks, and continue doing your master plan if you want to see results. This goes especially true for “CHEAT DAYS” if you are trying to lose weight.

The more you cheat, the more you restrict yourself from productivity.

Remember from the last article that the millionaire definition of productivity is more results with less time.
