Hi Jason,

 

You might recall me from last year’s Ignite Corvallis.

 

I know it’s beyond the deadline, but do your best to add me.  I wasn’t tracking this event…then just found out about it.

 

I can do a number of lively topics

 

1.       “Zero to profit in 24 hours”

2.       “How not to start Up”

3.       “The Corvallis we Love”

 

Ravi

Zero to Profit

Delivery - ppt slides with me talking.  At least 5 real examples of creating a profit from product/service in 24 hours laying a foundation for a business. This will take the audience from being "cerebral" to "action" for forming a profit making company.
Slides are mostly just photos and I've incorporated a self authored poem (rythmic verses) into this and the next one.

2.  How not to start up.

This is a comical way to show what most people/teams do when they want to start a company. The lessons not to repeat for real entrepreneurs!  Delivery: ppt slides with a poem

3. Sell, Sell, Sell like ____

  (Not going to suggest "The Corvallis we Love" - would be too esoteric and visionary...)

The blank is not what most would think "word beginning with H" instead it is Well.   How to sell products and services efficiently and create demand.  This is a serious/light take on closing deals taken from experiences from different settings. Some poetry incorporated as well.

I prefer 1,3

Hey Ravi!

Could you send over a description and maybe some idea of your delivery 
on one or more below?  We're meeting at 4:30 on Monday to take a look at 
the alternates and maybe include another presentation or two.

Thanks,
Jason

Oh man…

 

I have the “I don’t want to miss this” feeling.

 

I am for pushing to 15 presentations with Ravi’s.

I'm not sure its wise to add more than one after we've already made
the announcement and its been way past the deadline. I know I'd be
pissed if I was an alternate and saw some random new proposal being
added to the line up that was never on the site.

But that's just my point of view. I think keeping it to 14 is the most
ideal solution. We can always recommend they keep the idea for the
next Ignite.

Right now were at 13, so adding 1 is probably a OK.  The question is, which one to add.

If you get a chance at lunch, review the extra info from the talks and lets talk about it tonight.

Sure thing! I'll try my best. What time are we meeting again? 4:30?

Lets make a decision based on what would make IGNITE Corvallis II kick the
most ass.

I don't think doing >14 presentations will make it kick the most ass.
Quantity != Quality in this case. I agree with Jason that we should
pick one to fill in the 14th spot. If we find out after this ignite
that we could do more, then we can shoot for 16 next time but I'm
concerned about doing too many will just get the audience too bored
and stir crazy.

Looks like if we want Ravi, then we need to either add him or let him go...

Hi Jason,

 

Tuesday, Nov. 3 is way too close to Nov. 5th for me find out and pull things together.  Since I wasn’t tracking the event (being in India for 5 months this year)  I’ll pull out as of today and just attend in a relaxing way. 

 

Thanks much for the consideration though!

 

Best,

Ravi

Ravi,

We're a bit split on the last spot.  Any chance you could put some slides together for #1 and send it to us this week?  The slides deadline for everyone is Monday at midnight so if you don't mind waiting until Tuesday to find out if you're "in" then that would be OK for me.  But the earlier the better.





Thanks,
Jason

If you're adding an extra, I vote yes.

If it's between Tamra and Ravi, I think Tamra's talk is more
interesting and vote no.

As a side note Tamra has already given me an alpha of her slides...

I’m flip-flopping. Tamara for me. She appears to be more prepared and flexible than Ravi.

OK.  I'll review her slides and if it looks good, she's in.

No problem.  We may be light on alternates.  I'm hoping that Jean Bonifas is willing to be an alternate, but I haven't heard a definitive "yes" from her.


Thanks,
Jason
