Subject: Building Outrageously Successful Alliances and Referrals
This free seminar, presented by the Denver Metro SBDC during 2011 Minority Enterprise Development Week, will teach you how to build your business through strategic alliances and referrals so you can stop spending money on marketing campaigns that return very few results. Learn hard-hitting, proven strategies to double or triple your business through strategically leveraging resources you already have - your network and clients. Gain skills, tools, and techniques to build amazing relationships that lead to new clients, customers, patients, or guests. During this seminar, you will be introduced to the five-interview process for developing multiple strategic alliances that can introduce up to 16 new client opportunities. You will also learn how to implement a formalized referral system that enables your clients to introduce you to five probable clients.
