  • obtain an actionable, easy to use, step-by-step outline that forms the basis of a “StoryBoard”, the precursor to the full briefing, and the step that “jumpstarts” the process
  • receive a file with an actual local business briefing used in an attempt to raise capital, complete with speaker notes and explained section by section along with perspectives, “do’s and don’ts”,  all intended to guide your business briefing development
