The MIT Enterprise Forum DFW Chapter started 2010 with the January event, "Effective Pitching." We wanted to provide entrepreneurs a well-rounded view of how to pitch to investors and how to handle sales in a Sales 2.0 age. We heard from Jeff Crilley, an Emmy award winning communication expert, Laurence Briggs, President of InvestIn Forum, a Private Investor Network, and JR Atkins, Sales specialist and social media speaker.
