This is a combination in person (Calgary) and online (GoToWebinar) event.
Getting Clients Even In Lean Times
For most entrepreneurs, the most challenging part of business is getting enough clients. Whether you are trying to start a new venture, worried about surviving during a tough market or seeking to grow your business; attracting and retaining clients is critical.
Few people can even agree on what marketing is or the value it plays in your business. Even fewer know how to maximize its effectiveness. Sales are something you just figure out along the way (or don’t). At the end of the day, you need more leads, and you need to convert those leads into customers.
This Speaker Series event brings together three speakers who will help you make sense of it all and provide some clear guidance and strategies on how to attract, convert and retain your perfect clients.
Those companies with incomplete strategies and poor implementations tend to suffer. We see this far too much.
Those companies that provide value to people, and master marketing and sales, tend to succeed consistently. Even in lean times. If you have sufficient revenue and profit, you can weather most of the other business problems that happen along the way.
“Business has only two functions — marketing and innovation.” ~Peter F. Drucker
