MARKETING IS ESSENTIAL TO THE SUCCESS OF YOUR BUSINESS
Are you missing sales?
 
A New Look in Marketing:
New Clients, New Markets, and New Ideas


March 16, 9:00-11:00am - $38.00 - INFO & REGISTRATION
When was the last time you revised your marketing plan or analyzed your marketing efforts? Have you ever? "We never needed a marketing plan - our business grew by word of mouth." Now you've realized that times have changed; business has changed; technology has changed; and your customers have changed or disappeared. Planning to thrive and survive in these uncertain times can be nerve-racking, but increasing your awareness of the marketing process and of the strategies and options necessary to reach your target markets requires knowing who they are how they behave. We'll start with the basics and build a new foundation. Doing a fresh analysis for marketing in the "New Normal" will increase the effectiveness of your marketing efforts and increase your sales.

Instructor: Ellen Silverman - Certified Guerrilla Marketing Coach
 
 
Do Business with the World:
Cultural Understanding for Better Profit


March 16, 2:00-4:00pm - $38.00 - INFO & REGISTRATION
Even within our local economy, businesses need to be culturally competitive and aware of global protocols. Unsuccessful deals and missed growth opportunities may be the consequence of a lack of cultural understanding. Through current local business case studies, attendees will gain a better awareness of how other cultures do business and learn to engage the cultures within their industry and customer-base.
