PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO ROSH HASHANAH, OUR EVENT IS BEING MOVED TO THURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16TH.
Many well-meaning, hard-working business owners unknowingly sabotage their business with poor
marketing. That's worse than no marketing, because bad marketing is incredibly expensive … costing
you thousands of dollars each and every year! Not only does bad marketing cost you money. It costs
you time. And it saps your energy and enthusiasm.
In this presentation, attendees will learn:
Barbara Nichols Mencer is a compassionate yet results-oriented professional coach, speaker and trainer specializing in helping professionals and small business owners to grow their businesses.
She has over 25 years of experience working in marketing and business development, which includes serving as strategic director of business development and marketing in professional service firms, in addition to her own consulting, training and coaching business.
Barbara is the author of countless publications on business development, including the comprehensive practice building system, Making Rain Out of Mist. She's also taught business development for professionals at the University of California, San Diego Extension.
Our monthly mixers include open networking, structured table topics, and a "30 Minute Spotlight" on skills and topics that directly affect your every day business. Please bring 40-50 business cards; you'll have the opportunity to meet a wide range of business women.
