Put the Package Together
Presentation is everything. If you don't have good computer or graphics capability to create a professional looking package, consider asking a friend, family member, or strategic partner for assistance. Another source for assistance is a copy store or an office supply store that provides these services. Elements of a professional presentation:

• Quality paper
• Easily readable font
• Useful graphs and visuals
• Professional appearance
• Quality presentation kit or binder
