Just a suggestion to the NVBC pooba’s to make the process of viewing these VIMEO videos more functional for the viewer. Would it be possible to get the videographer to insert a fast forward/repositioning feature so one can view the presentation in segments without having to reboot every time there is an external interruption? It is frustrating to have to start at the beginning without being able (unlike with many other web/you tube type presentations) to advance or regress anywhere in the presentations, especially to get back to key points deserving of repeated access and reviews.
Now on to business. Dave Thomas does a comprehensive job of laying out the content, context and focus of marketing plans and the due diligence criteria of backing up all your key assumptions. The marketing plan will get a lot of eyeballs within the business plan and unless you understand “investor speak”, a lot of non relevant or even useless data can be assembled that gets you no closer to an Angel’s heart. This was a long but well covered topic, and I will be searching the gems in the presentation which will help defining core market analysis that concretizes the business case.

A quick reply to Rees — I don’t have a problem pausing, rewinding and even fast-forwarding, by just clicking anywhere at the bar on the bottom of the screen… although there is only a play and a pause button, you can click anywhere on the sliding pink bar to go to the point you want. I wonder if it’s a setting?
Great seminar — all of them have been increasingly helpful to me in the development of my business and marketing plan. Thank you for the amazing information.

Glad you guys are taking advantage of the archive!
Rees – not sure why you can’t rewind or fast forward – it’s an option for me. The only issues is that the entire video needs to load before you can fast forward – maybe that’s the issue?
