How do i go about presenting a idea to executives at a corprate office?

Question

Im not sure how or who to present my idea to, to get it out on the market but i would like to know

Answer 1

Doing a presentation will require them to want to hear it. Once you have set up the presentation use power point presentations and hand outs.

Answer 2

*thinks* well...................... what is your idea? What is it's purpose? Is it a product you are trying to pitch? Or a new policy? OR..... and 'idea' for something else!? Like a story < book/tv/film etc> ?(maybe you should add details so that there is present a better understanding of what it is that you are trying to accomplish. Just a general idea, you don't have to go into all of the details).

But i would say, as per an idea..... if it is a policy, then target your argument around the benefits of the policy you'd like to see 'added'. Contrast the to the cons of the other policies, and restate how you think yours would benefit the company.
Depending on the length of your presentation, you could always have some kind of statistics on hand ((or idk one of those crappy charts or something lol but i'd stay away from them as it looks more like youre coming in for a lecture as opposed to a short, several minute meeting) but keep your argument short and to the point and make it relevant to your idea. Don't go on a tangent, but stick to the facts. < also make sure you have possible questions worked out with vaild answers that may arise from the executives when they question you about why they should accept this policy. Don't get caught off guard as that always makes you look like you're uninformed. You dont have to exasperate them, or yourself with your reasoning, but just make sure that you explore all angles of you idea, the pros AND cons, so that by trial and error, you will know what works, and what argument to go with.

IF it is a new product you are trying to pitch do basically the same as above, but if you do not have a basic 'prototype' < or the actual product with you> you will need a picture or drawing or something to explain your idea, and give a better perception as to what it is you wish to accomplish. What can it do? What is is used for? What are the benefits? What are the negatives? What purpose does it serve? What's your target demographic? Why should they pick up your 'product' and bring it on as their own in terms of distribution and resale OR in terms of maybe using it at their office or whatever. And do the same as above.

IF it is a story to be honest executives in that industry hear and see a lot of crap. They'll cut you off if you get monotonous or it doesn't spark their interest right off the bat. You want to keep it as short and to the point as you can. Say your hellos, thank them for their time,and Immediately, pitch. What it is. What it's about. How it's different than all the others out there. How it would be a benefit. Don't drone on and on. Stick to the main story idea. And make sure it's original. "This would be/ is great because of......... " etc "It's new, its funny/ or interesting, it's fresh.." and so on and so on, you get the idea.

In any circumstance, BE CONFIDENT. Be proud of what you have to offer them. Don't be arrogant, but be confident in your product or idea. Nobody wants to take a risk on a new "idea" that the person trying to "sell" that has no confidence in it, and knows nothing about really. LOL. DON'T say, "Well IDK i havent really thought about that... but uh.....?!" KNOW your product/idea in and out BEFORE you get there. Have an effective argument in favour of it, and explore all the angles BEFORE you get there. And as i said, be confident in yourself, and in what you are trying to market, and you'll do okay!

Good Luck, I wish you the best!!! ♥

*edit* yes, yes....... for some things it is BEST to copyright your material. (or non-disclosure as suggested) Depending on the industry, unless your idea is stamped with your name on it (legally) it's fair game to anybody. Trust me!! They'll just rearrange a few things here and there and you're screwed.

Answer 3

it's always best to write up a proper non-disclosure agreement prior to showing anyone your idea. without one, anyone who hears or sees your idea prior to copyright or patent is essentially able to take your idea (it's very hard to prove an idea is yours, especially when dealing with big companies with lots of money for lawyers). I would try to get a very secure NDA and then speak to angel investors or venture capitalists (but be careful, as they can be financially tricky). big corps aren't likely to sign anything, simply because that could limit their ability to develop anything similar to your idea in the future. good luck!

Answer 4

don't ....never ... once you do...if it is a good idea. it will become theirs... go to the big man himself...have it in writting or copyrighted befor you present it.
