What is it?
Operation Entrepreneur's “Let’s Get Talking About Your Business” is a two-part virtual workshop series for military spouses piloting in February 2021.
All entrepreneurs must talk about their business to people outside their network for great ideas to turn into successful ventures. We designed this series because it can be challenging to effectively talk about your business or business idea to new people and in unfamiliar situations. Whether that be talking to a potential customer, a new supplier, or possible funder or partner, confidently talking about your business in an engaging way is crucial for business success.

-
Learn how to talk about your business or business idea in a way that makes people listen
-
Discover tips on tailoring your message to different audiences
-

This series is presented in collaboration with Military Family Services and with support from Support our Troops.
