What's included in this course?
Creative director Vanesa Rodríguez opens the course by introducing herself and explaining how the concept of selling ideas has been a driving force in her career as a copywriter. She also shows you some of her influences, both personal and professional.
Begin by doing your homework before the sales proposal meeting to ensure you get the most out of it. Do some personal exploration to discover your potential and learn how to leverage your career and experience to help sell yourself and your idea. Then, define your style and personal image to make a bigger impact during your pitch.
See what features you need to include to create a compelling story and how to incorporate it into your proposal. Knowing how to present your project doesn't mean that you'll sell it, but a poor presentation guarantees you won't. Vanesa teaches you the secrets to conducting a successful meeting, as well as how to expertly organize your pitch and build up your confidence.
It's time to present! Since first impressions are crucial, learn how to capture your audience's attention and hold it by implementing communication, persuasion, and negotiation techniques. Finally, don't let your guard down even after the meeting is over; Vanesa gives you a few last tips on how to follow up and achieve your goal.
What is this course's project?
