The document discusses financial planning and pitching for startups. It provides guidance on creating a financial plan to understand funding needs and describe the vision to partners and investors. It also explains that the purpose of pitching is to generate interest for follow up conversations, as investors rarely provide funding solely based on a pitch. The document then gives suggestions on what financial information to include in a pitch, such as market size, costs, funding requirements, and profitability projections. It also warns against unrealistic assumptions and provides too much detail.

Lead Your Remote Workforce To Success [webinar]eCornell
After Yahoo and BestBuy dissolved their remote work programs in 2013, many business leaders and HR professionals started looking at their own flexible work programs with a keener eye and a greater degree of skepticism and scrutiny.
David Lewis Headshot 2015_Web SizeBut remote work as a business practice is not inherently problematic; it’s that most organizations don’t know how to make it work to their advantage. When structured properly, a remote workforce can be as effective as any on-site organization.

Building a Disability-Inclusive Workplace [webinar] eCornell
New regulations from the federal government are aimed squarely at motivating employers to more actively recruit, hire, promote, and retain employees with disabilities.
While the regulations are particularly important for employers who are federal contractors, employers who are not federal contractors will almost certainly experience increased competition for this diverse and largely untapped talent pool.
In this webinar, Cornell University Professor Susanne M. Bruyère provides an overview of workplace policies and practices that facilitate the recruitment, hiring, retention, advancement and inclusion of people with disabilities, with an emphasis on creating a culture where people with disabilities are comfortable asking for accommodations and disclosing their disabilities.
Finally, we will discuss how companies can self-assess their effectiveness in moving toward a truly disability-inclusive workplace.

Mastering the Hotel Marketing Ecosystem at the Property LeveleCornell
Today’s hotel visitors have never been more connected. With multiple devices and countless online resources to consult during each phase of the guest lifecycle – from the point they make their booking decisions to well after they check-out – travelers’ hotel expectations have shifted.
Long gone are the days when the hotel marketing tactics were all deployed pre-stay and offline. Today, easier access to guest preference data, past purchase behavior and social media profiles has made the hotel marketing discipline a multi-phase and multi-channel practice that requires involvement from many different key stakeholders at the brand and hotel-property level.
In this webinar, Greg Bodenlos, social media and digital marketing hospitality consultant, walks us through this complex hotel marketing ecosystem. In the process, Greg reveals strategies and tactics for mastering the innumerable amount of hotel marketing priorities. The following are just a few of the questions that will be addressed:
- What are the most important marketing focus areas at the property level?
- How has the definition of hotel marketing evolved in the hospitality industry?
- Where should hotel marketing live in the overall hotel operation ecosystem?
- Who are the various key stakeholders to involve in hotel marketing initiatives?
- What new hotel marketing challenges are on the horizon?
Greg Bodenlos is a passionate hospitality marketing consultant and HSMAI leader based in Boston, Massachusetts. With a passion for digital trends, social media and innovation – and over five years of hotel and technology work experience – Greg possesses a unique perspective on the hospitality digital marketing landscape. Playing digitally-focused marketing roles at the destination resort, luxury independent property, and now city center hotel has allowed Greg to play an active role in shaping hotel marketing best practices at the property-level as well as help bring hoteliers closer to creating more meaningful, personalized travel experiences for their guests. It was in his marketing role at Revinate – a SaaS start-up in Silicon Valley that designs and develops technology to improve the guest experience – where Greg was able to help hoteliers and academics better understand the power of leveraging consumer intelligence to drive better service and maximize revenue streams across the entire guest lifecycle.
Greg is a proud graduate of Cornell University’s School of Hotel Administration and has been featured as a hotel marketing expert on National Public Radio. Greg has been featured as a contributor in Crowdcentric Media’s Social Media Week New York blog, eCornell’s Blog and HotelMarketing.com, as well as played a co-authored role in an award-winning piece for Cornell University’s Center for Hospitality Research with Chris Anderson entitled Best Practices in Search Engine Marketing and Optimization.

Applying the Dual-System Approach to Executive Education [webinar]eCornell
Check out eCornell's blog here: http://bit.ly/1xGbfzM
For decades, European and Asian countries have embraced the dual-education system for professional development. The concept is built upon a “learn-on-the-job” model, where training is highly targeted, timely, and designed to align individual competencies with broader company goals.
While education costs continue to soar, the dual-education system delivers specific educational tools at a very specific point in time, while keeping the “cost-value proposition” in perfect balance.
This approach can also be applied to executive education because it is an adaptive, agile and proven model for delivering high-quality education. In the dual-education model, executives receive ongoing, timely and targeted training that helps them make the greatest contribution to the organization, while fostering engagement, inspiring a motivational culture and helping to retain the highest-performing executives.
Join Uwe Wagner, a senior eCornell faculty instructor and CEO of Innovative Think Tank International, for a look at how the dual-system approach should be applied to executive education.
Applying Business Intelligence in Demand Generation [webinar]eCornell
Check out eCornell's blog: http://bit.ly/1wr8Wfu
More than 50% of B2B marketers cannot accurately measure the ROI of their marketing efforts. In order to accurately measure the impact of their demand-generation programs, marketers must take a more holistic and strategic approach to demand generation.
Data is often not the problem as the B2B enterprise has expansive amounts of data. The challenge lies in determining the context of the data and knowing what actions should be taken based on the data analysis. Without this insight and analysis, B2B marketers will only rely on guesswork as they seek to optimize their performance and drive more revenue from their demand-generation investments.
In this webinar, Adam Needles, Chief Strategy Officer and Principal at ANNUITAS shows you:
- What KPIs marketers should be measuring to get better visions into their demand-generation performance
- How to use the intelligence of your data to better optimize performance
- An example of a client and their success with business intelligence and analysis
Adam is a passionate B2B marketing change agent—helping companies build successful, modern, buyer-centric demand generation programs and transform their lead-to-revenue demand processes to drive profitable revenue growth and build sustainable brands. He is the author of Balancing the Demand Equation: The Elements of a Successful, Modern B2B Demand Generation Model, a book written for B2B marketing leaders.

Why Branding is Dead, and Why Mindset Is Your Only Hope In the Future [webinar]eCornell
visit eCornell's blog: http://bit.ly/1wY7iqj
There was more content created online in the last two years than was created in all of the prior 2000 years. Every conversation, tweet, and piece of content is a part of your brand image, and impacts a prospect’s experience with your brand.
The future success of your brand relies on you being able to provide and manage a positive experience across over 60+ marketing channels, 24 hours a day. Simple branding no longer works; the only sustainable way to consistently provide a positive experience to your prospects is by understanding Mindset.
Salesforce.com’s Mathew Sweezey explains why the modern digital landscape has killed the traditional concept of branding, and why Mindset is your only hope for building a consistent brand in the future.
Mathew Sweezey is the Head of B2B Marketing Thought Leadership for Salesforce.com.

Marketing Strategies: Driving Demand and Connecting With Today's Buyer [webin...eCornell
Are you failing to make a real connection with customers? Are you dragging down your sales team by delivering low-quality leads?
In a recent B2B study, ANNUITAS found that only 2.8% of organizations rate themselves as effective in demand generation. That’s abysmal, but insightful at the same time. The study revealed that too many marketers are overly focused on tactics in lieu of a cohesive strategy.
In this fast-paced webinar, Carlos Hidalgo, CEO of ANNUITAS, discusses:
-The fundamentals of strategic demand generation.
-How to build a demand-generation strategy that will guide your tactical game plan.
-How to align your inbound and content marketing efforts around buyers’ needs.

Webinar - Why You Should Let Your Buyer Design Your Sales Process eCornell
“The buyer is in charge” is one of the most popular refrains in contemporary business sales and marketing today. Well it’s true; the Internet has changed buyer behavior forever. In the old days of business sales, the seller controlled the conversation. Now, the Internet has given the power back to the buyer. Marketing has undergone a radical transformation to change their approach to meet the new buyer’s expectations. It’s sales’ turn.
The reality is the buyer views their experience with a vendor as one of the most important factors in buying. When polled, buyers rate their experience with vendors higher than the expected answers of product and price. The sales leader’s imperative is to deliver the sales experience their buyers want and expect.
Craig Rosenberg is in the Chief Analyst for TOPO. TOPO helps organizations optimize their sales and marketing to order to deliver remarkable buying experiences. He has worked with 100’s of sales, inside sales, and marketing organizations to design, build and optimize their processes. He is known to many as the "Funnelholic", the name of his very popular sales and marketing blog.
In this webinar, we provide you with the blueprint and specific use case examples. You will learn:
- Best practices for understanding your buyer
- How the buyer affects your organizational design including people, process and technology
- Specific examples of companies creating buyer-responsive processes
- This discussion is tailored for CEOs, execs, VPs, upper-level management, and anyone involved in sales and overall business strategy.
Avoid Disaster With These 6 HR Must-Do's for Social MediaeCornell
In today's hyper-competitive environment, organizations are striving to put in place social media strategies to help them attract and retain employees of all ages. No longer confined to twenty-somethings, an effective social media program is a "must have" for any organization who wishes to stay connected with its global employee base.
However, in their rush to adopt the latest and coolest program, organizations often fail to fully think through the best way to deal with social media's double-edged sword of access and liability.
Join Steve Miranda, Managing Director of Cornell University's Center for Advanced HR Studies, as he walks you through six "must do" social media initiatives aimed at mitigating your organization's strategic, reputational and financial risk.

Webinar: Develop Your High Potentials into Results-Driven LeaderseCornell
High potentials usually have good ideas, but what transforms a high potential into a genuine leader is the capacity to move agendas and get results. Ideas must be implemented. Samuel Bacharach believes that leadership is about “executing” and getting things done. Leadership need not be driven by charisma or personality, but by the exercise of specific microskills that allow leaders to move an agenda through an organization.
In this world of mergers and acquisitions, turf and uncertainty, in which the solution mindset is replacing the product mindset, your high potentials need to have the political skills to mobilize groups and the managerial skills to sustain momentum.
This webinar will discuss some of the specifics of these pragmatic skills and elaborate on how you can implement a program to help high potentials within your organization develop these skills.
Samuel Bacharach is the McKelvey-Grant Professor in the Department of Organizational Behavior at Cornell University (ILR). He is also the co-founder of the Bacharach Leadership Group (BLG), an organization which specializes in leadership development programs with an emphasis on microskills of change, innovation, execution, negotiation and coaching.
Sam writes a weekly column for Inc.com, focusing on issues of pragmatic leadership, and has published over 100 academic articles and over 20 books. He is the author of Get Them on Your Side, Keep Them on Your Side and the forthcoming volume, Moving Your Agenda: Leading for Innovation and Change.
What Counts And What Is Counted by Prof. Rob BloomfieldeCornell
Accountants and business leaders move up through the ranks not just because they know how to interpret financial reports (though that helps), but because they understand how organizational systems are designed, and how people respond and perform within those systems.
In this eBook What Counts and What Gets Counted: Seeing Organizations Through an Accountant’s Eyes, Cornell professor Dr. Rob Bloomfield shows how business performance is measured and reported, and reviews essential concepts in cost accounting and financial reporting.
Your vocabulary is one of the most visible markers of your business acumen. Business professionals listen, talk, and write for a living, and they judge you by the terms you use, and misuse. In essence, Prof. Bloomfield’s research and focus is on communicating the language of business.
