How to wield influence during a meeting
From the entrepreneur’s standpoint influence is effectively demonstrated through the application of:
You don’t have the right to expect their agreement.
However, you do have the right to expect respect.
You can tell the potential investor that you don’t feel you’ve been given a fair hearing but be certain of your facts re this. Be prepared to show evidence.
One of your obligations is not to interrupt the potential investor unnecessarily. Another is to give everyone (the potential investor and their advisors) the opportunity to complete their statement, however tedious it might be. It’s polite and constructive not to interrupt somebody.
Politeness is not an outdated view and never should be, regardless of age or experience.
- Calm self assurance
- At least a working knowledge of the topic in hand
- A positive manner, positive attitude and . . .
- The ability to listen to every other person (the potential investor might be there with advisors) who wishes to voice an opinion.

Directors living in a 'boardroom bubble'
Extract . . .
Directors seem to have a very different view to the hoi polloi on how business is going... That’s according to Roffey Park’s Management Agenda report, the result of a survey of over 1,500 managers. It found that, for instance, while 83% of board directors believe their organisations have handled redundancies well or very well, that sentiment is shared by only 44% of managers on grades below them. Which is very revealing indeed. Either middle-management are a cynical bunch – which is perfectly possible – or those at the senior level are walking around wearing blinkers.
