Distance Learning Company - Personal Statement Example

They can be rather quiet and aloof, but she did tell me that they are very smart, good at their job, and will likely want to overanalyze any information I give them. She also told me that Mr. Armstrong, the CEO, prides himself on running an open and upfront business.

Though Mr. Armstrong runs an informal office, I plan to dress professionally. I don't want to assume his attitude towards formality and I plan to address him as Mr. Armstrong, at least until he tells me otherwise. I want to leave him with the feeling that our company takes itself seriously and we pay attention to our business. In line with this, I am having some pamphlets printed especially for this presentation. I have highlighted the innovations that our company plans to use to market distance learning and how we have created a niche market.

There are several interesting graphical portions to the literature. The literature contains a detailed breakdown of our plans for financing. This will give the VPs something to take back to their office and study. It also details our unique marketing approach to distance learning. Along with the literature, I am bringing a PC Projector so the audience can see what our program looks like in real-time. I think its user-friendly features will appeal to Mr. Armstrong. I've chosen to demonstrate our course on "Rethinking Business" in hopes that they will find the content interesting and will keep them engaged in the presentation.

I want to go away from this meeting with the confidence that I have adequately shown the value of our product to Mr. Armstrong. I want to make the presentation interesting and capture their imagination. I also hope to have developed a little more casual relationship with them. I know that they will not be writing the check at the meeting, but I hope that I've created enough interest in the VPs that they will take the time to review the literature. If you have any suggestions, I would really like to hear them.

Thank you so much for helping me get the financing we need.
