The quality of the deals you source is one of the greatest drivers of your success as an investor. What are doing to improve your deal flow?

David Teten, Founder and Co-Managing Director of Evalueserve Circle of Experts, will discuss:
• How are you positioning yourself to become your target's preferred investor?
• What does research on deal-sourcing indicate are the primary sources of deal flow for institutional investors?
• What are you doing to identify companies that might be interested in being approached? What are the earmarks of a potential investment opportunity?
• How are you systematically identifying industries/situations in which you may be able to create new companies, rather than find existing companies?
• How can you use Web 2.0 tools to identify appropriate investments?
• How do you increase your inflow of useful referrals?
• What is the best way to make warm cold calls?
