SUMMARY:Prelaunch Series - Will It Fly?
DESCRIPTION:Description\n\n\n\nWill it fly? How to determine if clients will buy before you build\nFebruary 5\, 2019. 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. \nBefore building a plane\, engineers spend a considerable amount of time testing the aerodynamics of its design. This validation process allows them to understand how external forces will act (and hopefully) lift the aircraft. \nThe process and mindset is the same for savvy entrepreneurs. \nBefore you even build your product or service\, you can (and should) test your ideas through a variety of methods. Here to share some of those methods with you is TEC Executive in Residence\, Kurian Tharakan. \nJoin us in the heart of Downtown Edmonton to: \n1. Learn how to leverage free and paid internet tools to secure market validation such as \n\nGoogle Search\nGoogle Keyword Planner\nAmazon\nFacebook / Twitter / LinkedIn\nMoz\nBuzz Sumo\nSurveys and Intercepts\n\n2. Learn quick analysis techniques to determine how your competition is positioning itself \n3. Build a product ecosystem model to determine your product’s place and fit \n4. Learn from case studies of successful product launches \nNOTE: Refund requests will only be accepted 48 hours prior to this workshop \nLocation\n\nTEC Edmonton \nFourth floor \n10230 Jasper Avenue \nEdmonton\, Alberta T5J 4P6 \nView Map \n\nAbout the Presenter\nKurian Tharakan \n\nExecutive in Residence\, TEC Edmonton \nKurian has been a TEC Executive in Residence since 2014\, assisting TEC clients with their go to market strategy.

SUMMARY:Prelaunch Series - Will It Fly?
DESCRIPTION:Description\n\n\n\nWill it fly? How to determine if clients will buy before you build\nFebruary 5\, 2019. 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. \nBefore building a plane\, engineers spend a considerable amount of time testing the aerodynamics of its design. This validation process allows them to understand how external forces will act (and hopefully) lift the aircraft. \nThe process and mindset is the same for savvy entrepreneurs. \nBefore you even build your product or service\, you can (and should) test your ideas through a variety of methods. Here to share some of those methods with you is TEC Executive in Residence\, Kurian Tharakan. \nJoin us in the heart of Downtown Edmonton to: \n1. Learn how to leverage free and paid internet tools to secure market validation such as \n\nGoogle Search\nGoogle Keyword Planner\nAmazon\nFacebook / Twitter / LinkedIn\nMoz\nBuzz Sumo\nSurveys and Intercepts\n\n2. Learn quick analysis techniques to determine how your competition is positioning itself \n3. Build a product ecosystem model to determine your product’s place and fit \n4. Learn from case studies of successful product launches \nNOTE: Refund requests will only be accepted 48 hours prior to this workshop \nLocation\n\nTEC Edmonton \nFourth floor \n10230 Jasper Avenue \nEdmonton\, Alberta T5J 4P6 \nView Map \n\nAbout the Presenter\nKurian Tharakan \n\nExecutive in Residence\, TEC Edmonton \nKurian has been a TEC Executive in Residence since 2014\, assisting TEC clients with their go to market strategy.

DESCRIPTION:“Send me a proposal.” The sweetest words you can hear from a prospect… That is\, until it’s time to create it.\nWhat do you put in it? \nHow should it be delivered? \nWhen does the client ultimately say “yes”? \nDelivering a high-value\, customized\, premium solution doesn’t mean we should send a ton of information that will make it harder for the prospect to say “yes.” Instead\, use this 6-slide formula that has consistently been used to close deals from $4\,000 to $40 million. And if you’re currently sending your prospect scopes of work\, letters of intent\, contracts\, or other lengthy documents and calling those the “proposal\,” this is a MUST ATTEND event.
