What happens when someone asks you, “So… what you do?”

You may start frantically thinking you need to explain how your business works, your approach and specialty, create interest in the person you’re speaking with AND communicate your value so they’re willing to pay you what you’re worth. (or maybe you just freeze up!) 

That’s a LOT of pressure… but there IS a better way. What if you could communicate the value of what you do quickly, concisely and confidently?

In this workshop-style presentation, participants will:

• Create an introduction that clearly communicates your value, and immediately gets an ideal client’s attention so they say “I need you!”
• Collaboratively explore smart strategies to leverage your introduction and create magnetic marketing to attract great clients everywhere: in person, on the web, social media, in print and more.
• Learn how to skyrocket your business by adding a simplified client generation system designed to double your income and cut your work hours in half.

Presented by: Mary Cravets, Central Coast California NAWBO

Building a Trusted Group of Advisors

You need to grow, your company needs to develop, and you need customers. Leading a company can be a lonely and overwhelming job. With the broad range of challenges that entrepreneurs face – bookkeeping, taxes, pricing, to client relations, prospecting, and management – entrepreneurs need to tap into others’ knowledge and experiences to grow their business. Join our panelists as they discuss mentors, executive coaches and advisory boards – and how to find which is the best option for you.

Getting the Most out of Your Advisors

Like anything in life, successfully leveraging your advisors is as much about what you give as what you get back. Working with a trusted group of advisors can have a huge payoff for entrepreneurs as they develop, improve their skills and stretch in new areas. Getting the most out of advisors requires entrepreneurs to invest time to amplify their strengths and to address potential blind spots. Join our panelists as they share their experiences.

The next installment in our monthly Lunch & Learn series where we feature a current NAWBO member as the guest speaker, educating other women business owners in her area of expertise.

There’s a special strategy available to you anytime you want to attract ideal clients, boost your mailing list, or spread an important message. It’s a “magic” tool to share ideas and expertise that’s more effective than telepathy. A style of advertising at least as old as the Bible (or cave paintings). Writing a book! 

If you’re a coach, consultant, speaker, medical/financial/legal professional, or service-based business owner, your advice book gives you all the reason you need to connect and start a relationship with a specific target audience. 

Writing and promoting a nonfiction book can be a phenomenal way to grow your business. If, like so many people do, you’ve ever toyed with the idea of writing a book, come to this Lunch & Learn event and find out:

• Actual steps you can take to make this dream come true using free or low-cost online systems and a little savvy.
• Why writing a book doesn’t have to take a long time.
• How to leverage your story, skills, and insights in your book to become a highly trusted and sought-after resource.
• Elements every businesswoman should have in her book to drive readers over to her website.

Do you dream of growing your business to financial freedom, but know you will require financial support and investment to get there?

Knowing your options and risks is key. Join us on Thursday November 8th for a panel discussion covering how women are raising money to grow their business. Learn what is possible and hear what might work for you and your business. 

Panelists:

Alexandra Fine BIO

Alexandra has raised a few rounds of VC funding and her company is fledgling but growing quickly. Her head of PR (Gabrielle Pedriani) organized her calendar with me, but I have also met and spoken to Alexandra.

Emily Listfield

Natalia Oberti Noguera

Sarah Sommers

Shannon McLay

Shannon McLay is a financial planner who left a “traditional” financial services firm 5 years ago to start her own company, The Financial Gym because she felt traditional financial services firms did not have the tools or resources for this generation. After accomplishing her own successful weight loss journey, Shannon realized that while there are a number of resources available to people who want to become physically fit, there are far fewer for those looking to become financially fit. Most people don’t even know what financial fitness looks like, let alone how to achieve it, prompting McLay to ask, “How can you discuss retirement or investment options, when you don’t have any money to begin with?” 

As with physical health and fitness, financial fitness is a goal that anyone can achieve, no matter your starting point. The journey is very similar: you need a plan, the right tools to accomplish your goals and a support system. Shannon realized that the key to financial success for most people is human contact and not a website or an app. People are more than algorithms and The Financial Gym is putting the personal back in personal finance to help the everyday Jack and Jill who are trying to build assets while also managing debt. 

Through her blog, Financially Blonde, her book, Train Your Way To Financial Fitness, her podcast, Martinis and Your Money and her company, Shannon is committed to making financial fitness fun, easy and accessible for everyone.
