Emily Cohen: Moving Beyond Referrals

Do you avoid new business development like the plague? Do you define new business as “cold calling,” “sales,” “marketing”?  Are you ready to transform how you think about new business? This session will focus on strategies for building authentic, one-to-one relationships with prospects that take time, focus, ongoing nurturing, and a change in tactics. But, when done well, can be a fun, challenging, and a rewarding aspect of any successful business. In this session, you’ll learn why you need to change your thinking about what new business development really is and better ways to do it from business consultant and author, Emily Cohen.

Lunch will be provided with cost of ticket. Vegan options and gluten free options available. Emily will have her book available for purchase and signing.
