How is raising funds like selling?

James explains that this is because that is exactly what it is.

We discuss how not thinking in terms of a 'campaign' and therefore not being properly prepared is a mistake often made when fundraising - just like in sales.

He shares how targeting the tight kind of investor an reaching out effectively are key to a successful campaign - again just like selling.

The choreography of closing is a fascinating insight into understanding the audience and creating just the right amount of tension.
