The Ebb and Flow of ‘Business’
With no experience, interest or abilities in Business I struggle to add anything to our mission apart from enthusiasm. Finding myself bewildered by money, business strategies and the confidence to ‘flog’, I find myself powering enthusiasm into the Debatewise team, hoping that it will settle and empower those who do know what they are doing. Compared to a puppy, I bounce along, hoping that my positivity will encourage people to throw money at us but it doesn’t really work like that. I am confident now in my ability as a cold-caller and have managed to set up a few meetings with smaller organisations, but the BIG, BAD corporate machines still petrify me with their receptionist and gatekeepers. As I have recently learnt, it is one thing to have an idea, yet another to implement it. There is a fear with any philanthropic, pioneering vision that it just isn’t sellable, for our own sustainability, online debate doesn’t necessarily appease businesses with that ‘what’s in it for me’ factor. So we are forever evolving as companies do... with Revisewise, Consultwise, Discusswise. Our abilities to think outside the box perhaps got a little side tracked with the new arm of our company, Drinkswise, even if it does have a good ring to it; ‘DrinksWise created for people who like making informed but drunken decision’. So its Friday and here I am, raising my glass to Debatewise and its drive to take the business world by storm!
