Jared first stated that you should find the person that can say yes.

" It is important to find this person , or find someone who can introduce you to this person. Jared also suggested that you should suggests to be prepared for this conversations your first conversation or meeting with all the materials you would need to show that this an on-campus innovation space is NEEDED and it is VIABLE. These are key points that anyone will want to know before signing offon this endeavour. Hard evidence , like your market research and cost analysis could , will go a long way towards that a signature. Furthermore, you must give off emanate a feeling of infectious excitement, enthusiasm, and passion for what you are doing/about to do. This is Your passion needs to be contagious and , making most people will not be able unable to say no"No. " Lastly, as Jared saidsays, "do Do everything with a smile."
