NOVEMBER 1st from 7-9pm at General Assembly – Pitch Your Idea: Persuasive Communication

The 3rd session of the 5 part workshops series, Building High Impact Organizations: Creating Financial Sustainability for Social Enterprises and Nonprofits, will focus on pitching and persuasive communication.

Alastair Ong, the Co-Founder and COO of Green Soul Shoes, will talk about pitching and persuasive communication. By the time you’ve gone through this interactive presentation on how to create that winning pitch, you’ll have an arsenal of tactics and a veritable how-to guide which will prepare you to secure major donations, raise capital, close deals, sell products, and acquire supporters and donors. Both a seasoned entrepreneur AND an attorney schooled in the art of persuasion, Alastair will explain the secret sauce needed to communicate effectively.

Alastair Ong is a serial entrepreneur, having successfully created, financed, launched, and sold two online technology companies before starting his third company, GreenSoul Shoes. Before starting these ventures, Alastair was an attorney specializing in structured finance at Brown & Wood, LLP, and a litigation associate at Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker, LLP.
