Josh 00:00:01 When it comes to taking these public CEOs and CFOs on these roadshows to meet with investors and investment teams and funds, what's some proper etiquette? And then maybe where etiquette has gone bad in the past.
Jennifer 00:00:14 So that's a really good question. I love being proper and having everything formal, and I think that's just my style. So for me, when I set up my roadshows, I love to have a formal invite. I'm just giving some bullet points on the company dates when management will be available, and then I always include a personal cover note asking the investor, you know, how are they doing? And would they find this company interesting given, you know, experience in the field or just our interactions in the past? I think it's really important to reconfirm all the details. I always tell management teams dress for success, you know, put on a blazer and a button down shirt, even though it might be business casual. You always want to be business elegant. I love showing up on time, having a nice seat to to sit at if it's an in-person meeting, making sure that it's a quiet place that's actually conducive to a meeting.
Jennifer 01:02 And then for zoom, I always tell people, dial in a couple minutes ahead of time, have a nice background. usually what I like to do is I always start off by asking people, how much time does everyone have? You know, is it a half hour or is it 45 minutes? Is it an hour? Then the management team understands how the framework with which they're going to be having the discussion. And then I always kick off by doing some introductions. But then I always tell the investor, just give a quick recap of who you are and let the investor, you know, kind of cater the presentation.
