No one cares about your boring business. That’s how it feels sometimes, doesn’t it? To the people that hire you or buy from you, your product or service is pretty much the same as the next person’s. “Just tell me the price.” Ouch. Not anymore. Terri Langhans, former CEO of a national ad agency and marketing firm that she grew from scratch and later sold to a publicly traded Big Boy is going to pack an hour with with creative ideas, simple strategies and tangible tools you can use right away to make your marketing more effective, meaningful and memorable—no matter how big or small your budget. (Even if you don’t have a budget!)

Terri will zero in on these important marketing and referral generating areas, including “How To”:

-Distinguish your business, products and services from the competition.

-Find your points of difference no matter how much your prospects thing “you all look alike.”

-Atract better prospects and referrals, generate more sales conversations with decision makers and trigger a decision to work with, hire or buy from you, on a regular, consistent basis.

-Build and maintain momentum and focus on a daily basis, no matter how busy you are doing the voodoo you do.

You will be energized and equipped with what you need to know and what you need to do to be more focused, have more impact and generate better response from  your marketing and business development efforts.
