    3. Outline the meeting agenda and effectively manage the schedule (look professional)
    4. Start with a relate story (help the investor get familiar)
    5. Check-in during conversation (make sure he understand)
    6. E,brace silence to allow investor process the information between answers
    7. Ask for advice that you need
    8. Don't be defensive, but ask question to understand
