Miss EmpowHer: RSVP to Upcoming Events + Resources for Professionals, Founders, Investors, and Creatives (June 7th)

🫵Being direct is the only option 

In order to command a room, it is imperative that you directly address your points to be heard. Afterwards, you can be warm and soft. 

📞Communicate your needs

To avoid the difficult things to say, starting off with the communication of what you need is how you can fast- track many conversations. 

🗣️Be confident enough to have a voice. 

Many people these days value honesty and being straightforward over beating around the bush. You should always remind yourself of the value of directness and the power of honesty. 

⚖️Use the difference of opinion to your advantage 

When you disagree with someone’s perspective, you’re not saying they are wrong; you view the situation differently. 

🔇When given the opportunity to give feedback, focus on conveying your intentions. 

To do this effectively, make sure you are not criticizing the person but rather improving the outcome. 

🚀 When pitching to investors, here are some things to know.

Investors are not responding to the idea alone. They’re evaluating how clearly you understand what you’re building.

Brand clarity ✨ is the first thing they’re listening for. Can you articulate what your brand is, who it serves, and why it exists in a simple and direct way? If that answer shifts as you speak, it signals uncertainty.

Next is distribution 📦. How does your brand actually reach people? Social, retail, partnerships, paid. Investors want to understand the engine behind awareness and whether it is repeatable. Not just what is working, but why it works.

Then come the numbers 📊, especially L.T.V and C.A.C (LTV is lifetime value, how much revenue a customer brings in over time, and CAC is customer acquisition cost, what it costs to acquire that customer). This is not about memorizing metrics. It is about understanding whether the model makes sense.

And underneath all of it is how you respond under pressure 🧠. You will be asked questions you did not prepare for. The expectation is not perfection. It is fluency. The ability to think through your business in real time without losing clarity.

Strong founders do not memorize pitches. They understand their business well enough that nothing feels abstract when it is questioned.

🎨You got your first brand deal!

But a brand deal is still a contract. Before you sign anything, here are a few terms to understand so you know how the deal affects you now and later.

Perpetuity ⏳
Means forever. If a brand secures rights in perpetuity, they can use your content indefinitely with no end date. That means your image, video, or likeness can live on their channels long after the original campaign is over. This is one of the most important terms to watch because it removes any time limit on usage.

Usage rights 📸
This defines how your content can be used. It can be limited to your page only, or extended into ads, websites, paid media, and more. The broader the usage rights, the more control the brand has over your content.

Control & exclusivity 🤝
This determines what you can and cannot do during the contract period. Some deals restrict you from working with competing brands or limit what you can post in certain categories. It directly affects your ability to take on future opportunities.

Payment 💰
This covers how you get paid and when. Flat fees, affiliate links, commissions, or hybrid models all structure income differently. Timing also matters. Net 30 or net 60 can impact your cash flow even if the deal looks good on paper.

Exclusivity 🤝
This means whether you’re allowed to work with competing brands. Sometimes it’s category-wide, sometimes it’s product-specific, and sometimes it’s time-bound. Exclusivity can limit future deals, so it matters more than it looks on paper.

Deliverables 📦
What you are actually committing to. Number of posts, videos, stories, revisions. This defines the workload, not just the headline deal.

Long-term value 📈
Not every deal is just about the upfront payment. Some matter for portfolio building, relationships, or future partnerships. You want to know what this opens up beyond the first deliverable.

The goal is not just to get brand deals. It is to understand them well enough that you never sign blind.

Save this one to your notes for more terms to look out for. 🧠
