Hi Founders,
A couple of weeks ago, one of my mentees was struggling with getting a response from investors.
“It seemed like they really liked what we are doing, but at the end of the call, they told me that we were not sure about the deal.”
“And what did you say?” I asked.
“Well, I told them to trust me. I really know this space, and I spent 1 year building this product. I am an expert with 10 years of experience in this industry.”
“Okay, so did you find yourself justifying yourself to them?”
“Yes … I need the money.”
“Okay, do this next time. Say this, “I am curious, what kind of deal are you expecting to find?” This will give you some real insight in what they want.”
Why does this work?
It’s simple, it gets straight to the point.
Investors don’t want to be convinced; they are just too nice to say no.
By asking them questions and digging deeper, you can understand their mindset and identify what they invest in.
Also, this makes them feel like you understand what they want.
It shows them that you care about what they think, and you aren’t just after their money.
Investors DON’T INVEST because they understand your product.
Investors INVEST because they feel like you understand them.
So, you don’t need to elaborate on how great your startup is.
You just ask questions and use empathy.
Once they know that you understand them, they will trust you.
That’s how you increase your potential for closing a deal.
