So, You Think You Have a Good Business?
Speaker: Stephanie Hoffman
How do you know…have you asked anyone lately? Running a business is hard. Very hard! Getting regular feedback from your customers is crucial for business longevity.
During the presentation, several of the participants will have the opportunity to explain their business to the group and ask specific questions like:
- "Do you think my prices are too low?"
- "What is the most memorable experience you've had with a product or service like mine?"
- "How can I set myself apart from my competition?"
- "Who are the people most interested in my business?"
- "What’s the most effective way to market?"
- "What does my competition do better and worse than me?"
It will be a fast-paced forum for getting instant feedback on how to make a business more attractive and more interesting for potential customers. How cool is that?
