Getting an investor’s attention may come naturally to you but keeping it is essential. Within the first thirty seconds of conversation, you can make errors that completely dissuade your potential investor from actually investing. Today we will talk about how to get investors’ attention, how to keep it, and pitch anything. Learning how to effectively communicate is the first step in obtaining new investors.

Today we will be joined by Oren Klaff who is the Director of Capital Markets at the investment bank Intersection Capital. He has grown the firm to approximately $2 billion in aggregate trade volume since 2005. He began by pitching million dollar deals in commercial real estate in Los Angeles. Oren is also the author of Pitch Anything, which will be discussed in great depth for good reason. Hint: it contains vital information about communication with a potential investor.
