MS Product Presentation Guidelines

Hello crew!

In one week’s time, you will be in front of your Market Stand employees and your resident Market Stand presidential board attempting to convince us to produce and sell your product.

Part of convincing your audience to show interest in your product is showing them that you are also a (wo)man with a plan – of the business sort.

Below is an outline for how to write a business plan.  Take this outline into consideration when putting together your Product Proposal Presentations:
