SUMMARY:Step Up and Grow - How to generate more business (Getting others to tell your story)
DESCRIPTION:In September we will be joined by John Niland www.vco-global.com\, he is best-known as a conference speaker specialising in creating opportunities via better conversations. \n  \nHow to Generate More Business! \nGetting Others to Tell Your Story \n6pm – 8.30pm\, 27th September 2016 \n  \nYour opportunity to master word-of-mouth marketing! \n  \nThe business benefits are clear: learn how to cultivate relationships with prospects and customers. \nIn this 1.5 hour session\, you will discover: \n\nHow to generate word-of-mouth referrals\nEffective ways to attract clients\nHints and tips to help you build better business relationships\n\n  \nGuest Speaker – John Niland \n  \nGetting Others To Tell Your Story   \nSome years ago\, we moved from an economy in which we sold our skills and expertise to one that is based on cultivating relationships with clients. \nNow we are in the middle of yet another move: as busy decision-makers simply don’t  have time for all the relationship-building that we would like to do with them. \nThey will only see you if you can contribute some pertinent insight into the challenges they face. Usually\, you have to be recommended. \nSo how do we get these recommendations? One of the most effective ways to attract clients and generate word-of-mouth referrals is to add insight that reframes client problems\, rather than talk about the “unique solution” we provide. This makes it much easier for others to tell our story. \n  \nAbout  John  Niland   \nJohn is a popular speaker at international  conferences\,  professional meetings and webinars\, John blends humour and practical tips to energise an audience. \nA selection of events in recent  years: \n\nWorld  Executive Search Congress\, Las Vegas\, 2015\nIPSE meetings\, London\, 2012-­‐2015\nWIN leadership conference\, Rome 2015\nEFIP Roadshow\, Berlin 2015\nTrend Micro Sales Conference\, Italy 2014 APMP UK\, London\,\n\nTo name just a few…
