do you have any experience with what you're talking about?
you speak about PR events like a person who has never managed one lol

Yes, I do.

The point with these things is a hook. Something that draws attention and something that keeps people engaged.

In the UK for instance, an old man was able to raise millions for the NHS by walking laps around the his nursing home.

Doing something that will connect with people with a pledge to donate 10k would draw attention.

The next step is utilising your social circle. I imagine most people are connected to someone who knows someone famous, or just knows them directly. They're not going to help out for no reason, but if it is a cause that has drawn attention and has your commitment to it (25k from a working man is a sign of sincerity) they would.

only a person who has experience in business would understand the power of a dinner meeting...

alot of yall snitching on yourselves....

yall dont see the value in a dinner meeting with an influential businessman..
because you haven't built anything that is relevant to a businessman
:francis:

You are snitching on yourself. Most businesses go bust within the first 3 years because they experience cashflow difficulties.

No one would advise you to blow 50,000 on a dinner with Jay-Z. Only way that would be an option is if you were in a situation where losing 50k was less than a pin prick to your overall financial situation.

Breh you are putting so much energy into making yourself look/sound smarter and richer to a bunch of randoms on a forum........and we still don't believe you. But we are looking bad?
Mean while breh is probably constantly refreshing his CNN app to see if the stimulus check is going to hit his account :mjlol:

1. you not losing 50k if you take the meeting... you never had the 50k in the first place... you not gonna file that 50k as a loss on the books

2. blowing 50k is different than not receiving it...

3. for a person who believes that a conversation could lead to more business even if not directly with jay, not receiving 50k is worth it

4. my businesses have been going longer than 3 years.. overhead is low

5. the NFL deal a few developer clients are working on could get me more than 20k just charging them to layout a presentation and discuss it with jay. I think im going to record a conversation and act like I can get a meeting with him and see what amount i can pull for it... make it a little experiment for yall

what history do you have that makes your take on this more valid than mine?

Are you using business and company interchangeably?

I'm taking the dinner. Yall ain't having one on one meetings with billionaires like that. I don't need basic business advice.. so yeah you lost if you use the time for that. I'm talking my business in a sit down with him and what I bring to the table.

Folks in here talking about jay ain't Warren buffet like jay can't get Warren buffet on the phone. That billionaire circle real small. Jay can get Obama on the phone too. if you can't use that time to pitch and establish a relationship you lost at life. At worst I would end up with him as my mentor. Jay is known to invest in black businesses. If you have your stuff together there is no way you leave that dinner with nothing to show for it or at least a job at roc nation making more than 50k.

I'm sure the owner of the company you work for...
or the clients you work for wouldnt mind that meeting through
:yeshrug:
it just isnt meant for you... the 50k is more reasonable

Jay-Z meets tons of people every day trying to get something from him. If you are the type of person who can, over dinner, finesse a business relationship with him worth over $50k then you are the type of person who will be successful with or without meeting him.

If you think that Jay-Z has some life-changing pearls of wisdom worth anywhere near $50k, then you are a fool.
This. Jay ain't bout to talk business with you unless you actually have something to bring to the table. Ain't no rich person bout to talk turkey with some regular degular person with nothing to show :russ:
