Sage Summit 2016 is officially less than a week away, so we decided to help you gear up for the fabulous event with some of the best advice that each of these game-changing celebs have to offer, as it relates to what each will be discussing at the conference. 
 
 
 

Need to get better at branding?

Speakers Sir Richard Branson and Sage CEO, Stephen Kelly have you covered!

They'll discuss: “The magical Virgin business model applied: Architecting a brand that’s built to last.”

When it comes to branding, can you think of a better person to learn from than Sir Richard Branson? The founder of Virgin Group has made Virgin one of the most respected and recognized brands on this planet. His sage advice? “The brands that will thrive in the coming years are the ones that have a purpose beyond profit.”

 

Looking to perfect your investment pitch?

Speakers Daymond John and Robert Herjavec know all about that!

These "Sharks" are scheduled to discuss: “Sink or swim: Surviving the sharks at the investment pitch.”

Having been pitched to a zillion times, the two highly acclaimed “Sharks” from ABC’s “Shark Tank” know the best ways to influence an investor to take their chance on a small business. At Summit, they will break down, piece-by-piece, what investors look for and want to hear. In the meantime, think about these smart tidbits: Daymond John reminds us that “An entrepreneur must pitch a potential investor for what the company is worth, as well as sell the dream on how much of a profit can be made.” And Robert Herjavec’s states, “When the bullets are flying and the bombs are dropping, the ability to zig and zag is far more valuable than the capacity to figure out the caliber of the bullets and what kinds of lanes are flying overhead.”

 

Want to boost the success of your business?

Speakers Ashton Kutcher and CEO of Kickstarter, Yancey Strickler are start-up superstars!

Learn how “Values over valuation: Building a mission-driven business.” will help drive your business to success.

Every entrepreneur and small business leader knows the highs and lows of building a business. Believe it or not, Ashton Kutcher and Yancey Strickland are no strangers to that. Capitalize on their experiences and best practices that each has learned along the way. As successful as Ashton is today, he reminds us, “I fail frequently – I just try to keep it quiet.”

 

Desire a business plan that is more socially conscious?

Speakers Zooey Deschanel and Gwyneth Paltrow do too!

Discussing “The giving economy: Why doing good is great for business” will give you a better idea of how charitable acts are beneficial to business.

Consumers desire products and services from businesses who go above and beyond to give back to the world. Learn why businesses, even smaller ones, are helping those beyond their own target audiences. Actress Zooey Deschanel, co-founder of “Hello Giggles,” strove to build a lifestyle site aimed to create a positive place for young women. One of her more popular mantras, “You have to keep reminding yourself it’s not about the money,” is just one of her more popular mantras. 

 

With all of these powerfully encouraging words of wisdom we can't wait to see what else Sage Summit has in store!  And we hope to see you there!
