Note: You don't need an MBA to attend.
Knowledge gained here will ABSOLUTELY pay for your trip.
In this all-day workshop, I show 23+ ways to leverage other people's work, get credit for other people's experience and use other people's money. If this sounds a bit devious because we are hijacking other people's stuff, you are correct.
Hijacking is like hacking up code or engineering a better solution. I will reveal how engineers can hack entrepreneurship and sales. I will also help engineers avoid the catch 22's that keep nerds, minorities, women and even MBAs from getting a business up and going.
My goal is to have this workshop be your entire trip's ROI.
Specifically, I will tactically show you how to
- Leverage other people's momentum (by doing a sequel to a company/book/film you did not create) (Ch 3 of my book)
- Learn from other people experience by getting superstar, junior and co-hort mentors (Ch 6 of my book)
- Get access to other people's money. There will be a VC panel: "Venture Capital Secrets"
- Cut and Paste other people's work (Ch 3)
- WORK a CONFERENCE: Booth Sales (lead generation, tag team selling and getting expo visitors into the red zone) and Speaking to Get Deals (Ch 6)
- How to close a deal via Voicemail (from my GigaOm article)
- How to Tip, Bribe, Comp and Tip your way past 100 Harvard MBA's (POOLSIDE 2:20pm)
