Business Smarts: Are you Personally Connected?

Feb
12
2016
Fri 7:30 PM to 9:00 AM
Topic: Marketing and Sales

We live and do business in a global community, and too often there is little difference in the physical or technical features of our product or service from that of our competition. How effective are you at sharing the BENEFITS your customers receive when they do business with YOU instead of someone else? Are they buying your product/service, or are they buying into your expertise that’s included in the package? When product and price are similar - and they often are - people choose to do business with those whom they like and trust. So when you take the time to make a personal connection, the message you communicate has a much better chance of being received. The time you invest now in making that initial connection pays dividends in the long-term relationships that follow. In today's session, Wes Dove will lead us through an interactive discussion to help us make stronger and more effective personal connections regardless of our environment, culture, field, or business. Business Smarts Breakfast sessions are held on the 2nd Friday of every month with networking opportunities and guest presentations on a variety of topics. The series is sponsored by your Shenandoah Valley Small Business Development Center, the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Chamber of Commerce, and the Service Corps of Retired Executives. Breakfast is provided by The HoneyBaked Ham Company.
