It may be how you are attracting and building relationships with new investors.

Should I use comments or DMs to build relationships with potential investors? How do I use AI without losing my authentic voice on LinkedIn?

  Jul 23, 202624 min

  If you've built an investor list but still feel like too many people disappear when it's time to invest, you may not have a lead problem. You may have a nurturing problem. In this solo episode, Amy shares three practical strategies she teaches her coaching clients to improve investor conversion during a capital raise. She explains why every investor should complete a profile questionnaire, how segmenting your CRM leads to more relevant investment opportunities, why every investor should give you a "yes" or "no" on every deal, and how live webinars build trust in ways recorded presentations simply cannot. This episode is for you if you've ever wondered: Why are investors expressing interest but not wiring funds? What information should I collect when someone joins my investor club? How can I better understand what each investor is actually looking for? Am I sending the same deal to everyone instead of matching opportunities to their goals?

Are live webinars really more effective than recorded presentations? By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with: A framework for gathering investor information that strengthens both compliance and relationships A better understanding of how to organize your CRM based on investor goals, risk tolerance, and investment preferences A practical strategy for matching investment opportunities with the right investors instead of sending the same email to everyone A process for collecting meaningful feedback from investors who pass on a deal Insight into why "no" can be one of the most valuable responses in your capital raising business A clearer approach to keeping your investor database active, engaged, and current Confidence in using live webinars to strengthen trust and encourage more investor participation A more intentional investor nurturing process that supports stronger capital raises over time Hit play to learn how to better understand your investors, improve communication throughout your capital raise, and build stronger relationships that lead to more confident investment decisions.
