In today’s episode I chat with James Church. James Church is the author of the Amazon best-selling book, Investable Entrepreneur: How to convince investors your business is the one to back, and co-founder and COO of Robot Mascot, a global award-winning investment readiness agency.
James has won the Business Advisor of the Year award at the Growing Business Awards and has been featured in Entrepreneur Magazine and Forbes.
He’s run mentoring sessions at Tech Hub, Google Campus and Runway East, and delivered mastermind sessions for accelerators run by The Chartered Institute of Marketing, Design Museum, Dent Global and the University of East Anglia.
James provides valuable insights on preparing to pitch for investment. He emphasizes the importance of conducting thorough research and targeting the right investors. James also highlights the significance of personalizing messages and engaging with investors on platforms like LinkedIn and Crunchbase.
We talk about
* Research and Targeting: Before reaching out to potential investors, it's crucial to conduct thorough research and identify the right target audience.
* Personalization and Engagement: When contacting investors, make sure to personalize your messages and show genuine interest in their previous investments or portfolio companies.
* Meeting Preparation: Prior to a meeting, clarify the format and expectations with the investor.
* Expression of Interest: After a positive meeting, consider using an expression of interest form to gauge the investor's commitment.
* Due Diligence: Just as investors conduct due diligence on your business, it's important to perform due diligence on potential investors.
Enjoy!

Today’s episode of The Growth Lab podcast highlights the importance of outbound marketing for your cleaning business.
I share Matt my experience of starting my cleaning business by relying on outbound methods such as cold calls, cold emails, and LinkedIn outreach.
Key takeaways from this episode include:
* Outbound marketing requires persistence and tailored approaches to effectively reach potential clients.
* Identifying an ideal client profile and focusing on specific markets can lead to higher success rates.
* Utilizing automated email campaigns and CRM systems can help streamline the outbound process.
* Consistency and a systematic approach are necessary for success in outbound marketing.
* Outbound marketing, although requiring more effort, can offer greater value by targeting the right clients for a business.
This episode was part of the launch webinar for The Cleaning + Property Maintenance Support Group on 11th October.
