Figuring out that having an Advisory Board to help you manage your small business - easy. Getting the people with the expertise and experience to serve on the Advisory Board for your small business - not so easy.
After all, the people you want are smart, savvy and busy. And everyone else wants them, too. But you can get the people you want to serve on your Advisory Board if you go about it the right way and say the right things.
You may also find this Sample Business Invitation Letter I've created useful. Feel free to customize it as you like and send it to the people you'd like to have on your Advisory Board.
Remember; the worst that can happen is that someone will say "No". So don't be afraid to ask the 'top notch' people that you'd most like to have on your Board. They may surprise you and say "Yes".
