MEET: Teresa Tate

Partner at Perkins Cole, LLP

       Teresa specializes in corporate law. She helps businesses
       to grow. Teresa meets talented people who have creative 

       ideas. She enjoys helping her clients although it sometimes

       means working in the evenings and on the weekends.

Presenting a Skit

      A client is interested in starting a company. She meets
      with Teresa who will help her to understand and comply
      with  the laws related to the business by coming up with 

      a plan.

     After time passes, Teresa's client returns with a problem
      that has come up. She arranges for one of her partners
      who specializes in lawsuits to handle the case.

       As the client's company grows, she is ready to take the
       next step in expanding. Teresa finds the investors who

       believe in the business.

Meet Carey deVreker

Valiant Capital Management

Chief of Marketing & Investor Relations

What is "Marketing"?
 Carey's presentation helped the girls to understand what goes   

 into marketing a product. What do you need to think about
 when you're planning to open a lemonade stand? Some factors
 to consider include: 

 Product - What makes your lemonade unique?
 Location - Where will you reach as many people as possible?

 Weather - How will this affect sales?

 Price - What is your profit after expenses?

 Promotion - How will people find out about your business?

Lemonade Story Board

 
By choosing a good location for your lemonade stand, more      
people will come to buy your lemonade.                                          

  Questions & Answers: What is a favorite part of your job?

  "I love meeting people. I use people skills. I have the

  ability to communicate effectively, and understand what

  they need." 
  What tools do you use?
  "That's a good question! I use my brain, my personality, 

  and a computer."
