Business is Blooming

 

Busy BeesWe are already in the midst of May, is all of your hard work starting to pay off? 

 

The WBII has several upcoming high-impact courses and workshops to help you clear out the weeds and GROW your business!

 

The WBII is pleased to announce our new "regular" event venue will be the Carlton Ambassador Hotel in The Hague. Be sure to join us on the terrace of the Carlton Ambassador Hotel on Thursday, 26 May for the WBII Networking Event. Following some tips to refine your pitch, there will be a round of speed networking to practice your pitch, meet new people and share leads at lightning speed. 

 

The Brainstorming session last month was a big success and several new projects are already underway as a result! I look forward to sharing more of these exciting developments and introducing our new Executive Committee to you in June!

  

Success,
