First stage: Introduction to your business
Introducing your business to potential investors is one of the most daunting tasks you must do. But if you prepare well and learn the secrets of the pitch, you don’t need to worry about failing. Not all the investor you pitch to will be interested in your business, but this isn’t always down to you failing the pitch.
When you are creating the first connection with investors, it’s crucial to keep it simple, informative and captivating. The key documentation you want to send the investor include:
• The elevator pitch
• The business plan
Sending an elevator pitch
First, you must generate the first connection. Whilst it’s always a good idea to meet potential investors face-to-face, you’ll most likely contact them via e-mail at the start. Instead of typing whatever comes to mind to your e-mail, you should always try to approach the e-mail through the idea of the elevator pitch.
An elevator pitch is your chance to present the business and the opportunities it has for the investor in a short amount of time. The name quite simply means you only have enough time for the elevator to move from one floor to the other. If you can’t spark the interest and imagination of the investor in a few seconds, you probably won’t manage to do it in an hour either.
What components are required for a good elevator pitch? Your pitch should always focus on the following components, which are neatly discussed in an appropriate order:

As the people are watching the television, millions of dollars are used in the commercials. All commercials include big companies like Bud Light, M&Ms, and Doritos. These advertisers spend significant amounts of money, so that consumers will be able to buy their products. One of the commercial that stands out to the me is the Hyundai Genesis with Kevin Hart entitled “First Date. The makers of the commercial use a variety of techniques to persuade people to buy a Hyundai Genesis because of a special feature that other cars don’t have. By persuading people, the author has a purpose, audience to make this commerical. Also they use rational appeals such as ethos,pathos and logo.
Have you ever tried to persuade someone to see something in a specific way? If so, you may have utilized the three rhetorical appeals, logos, ethos, and pathos. Rhetorical appeal or rhetoric is something students learn about in an English or Writing class. Rhetoric is a subtle way to make writing appear cohesive and engaging. According to Lynn Troyka and Douglas Hesse, there are “three central principles of rhetoric- the persuasive appeals”(18). The use of rhetoric in advertising is used to help the advertisers to appear more professional to consumers, and compel viewers to comply with the goals of the advertisers. Two other tools advertisers use to entice viewers are the design and color of an advertisement. The "Charity Water: Imagine" ad uses advertising tools such as rhetoric, design, and color to achieve a desired response from consumers.

Small businesses are the backbone of national economy and play a leading role in innovations as well as in creating jobs. Small business has the intrinsic needs to growth. Obvious contributions of the growth of small businesses include the increased return on investment and job creation. The interesting and valuable question is how small business grows and are all small businesses growing? It is no surprise that the growth of business is a core topic both in organization theory and entrepreneurship, both are interested in the process and causes of business growth. Stages of growth models, which assume that business go through some distinct stages from birth to maturity, have been the most popular theoretical approach in academic to understand small business growth.

The effectiveness of a commercial can be scaled through its use of rhetoric. The amount of ethos, pathos and logos each commercial uses in an equal and helpful manner allows for a greater amount of persuasion in the audience. In order to create an effective ethos, the speaker has to show an appeal to credibility to the audience (Ramage, et. al. 106). In order to create an effective pathos, the speaker has to have an appeal to the beliefs and emotions of the audience (Ramage, et. al. 107). Logos is “the strength of an arguments support and its internal consistency” (Ramage, et. al. 67). All together these rhetoric appeals create a more effective, persuasive argument because they cover all the fundamentals for an argument- reasoning, feelings,

There are (3) reasons why I have chosen energy drinks as my NAB. First off, there is a growing market for energy drinks. Red Bull and Monster Beverage Corporation, together, form over 80% of domestic energy drinks volumes by estimates.

Globally, the energy drink industry has gone from a $3.8-billion business in 1999, to a $27.5-billion
