Women Mean Business Lunch & Learn

Luncheon will include guest speaker Nancy O'Keefe, Simple Small Business Solutions

Why Every Business Needs a Superpower Today to Attract More Clients

You can be the best at what you do and not find the success you want if your ideal clients don’t see or hear you in the marketplace. Maybe they see you but can’t distinguish you from the competition. If either of these 2 conditions exist, you will find yourself chasing the market for clients, even discounting your prices just to win business. That leads to slim profit margins and little or no extra cash, one of the major reasons 4 out of 5 small businesses go out of business.

You and your company need a sustainable competitive advantage you and you alone have that is attractive to your clients and gets their attention in a busy and crowded marketplace. It’s like having a Superpower.

Nancy O’Keefe, Business Consultant and Executive Coach talks about how to discover and use your Superpower to be heard and remembered in the marketplace so you can attract the clients you need.
