Executive Summary Review - WaterWorld - Lesson #1 - Does It Work?

The summary provides the reader with information on what the benefits of the drinks are. For example, the company claims that the Victory drink can restore energy lost through exercise, training, and game time exertion, allow the heart muscles to withstand vigorous and strenuous exercise, fight and prevents lactic acid build-up, reduce and eliminate cramping, and boost energy reserves and accelerates muscle recovery time.

What is missing is the proof that it works. You need to demonstrate to potential investors that what you have is real. Show test studies, include testimonials, provide lab reports, have supporting quotes from respected individuals in your market. In other words "Show me the money!"

The problem is, while your product is probably excellent and can deliver on all the promises you are making, you need to remember that most of the other companies seeking capital out there are not marketing such reliable products. Unless you demonstrate that the product actually works then you are immediately lumped in with all the other "junk" business plans.

Investors see so many business plans every day that they are looking for reasons to say no. Don't make it easy for them to turn you down by not having supporting evidence for your claims.
