Tell The Story of Your Venture

November 22, 2021   Time: 4pm – 5pm

Presenter: Glenn Emanuel,

Every Entrepreneur, at every stage, needs the ability to communicate their idea, vision and venture to Stakeholder groups. What actually is the story of your venture? Even if my idea is simple, every business has so many moving parts. How do I get noticed when suppliers, investors, customers, etc. all have more options than they can support? In this seminar, you will learn exactly that by doing and learning from others. Mastering this could very well mean the difference between success or failure at any life-cycle stage

You’re Charging the Wrong Price!

December 6th, 2021   Time: 4pm – 5pm

Presenter: Glenn Emanuel, 
Lecturer and Field Mentor at Baruch College

So how did you set your prices? “I figured this is what the market will bear.” “Well, my competition is charging X so I charged X.” “My competitor is charging X so I undercut them!” “It cost me X to make and I want a profit of Y so I charge this amount.” All of the methods above have something in common – they are all wrong. All are costing you money left on the table and all are costing you, customers. Come to Professor Emanuel’s Value-Based Pricing seminar and learn in one night how to correctly set prices for now and forever.
