Business Acceleration Workshops #TBT

Today's blog post was originally published last year:

I'm going to relaunch the Business Acceleration Workshops starting this Saturday, April 4th.

We'll meet every Saturday from 9:30 AM until noon. For the first half hour, we can socialize and network over coffee. Then from 10:00 to 11:00, we'll learn about relationship marketing by listening to the audiobook "The Power of Human Connection" by Kody Bateman, the founder of SendOutCards. And then from 11:00 to 12:00, we'll watch a video interview with a business owner or salesperson using relationship marketing in their businesses. There are handouts to go with the audiobook available here. We will be using pages 1 - 4 for the first meeting.

The book is in three parts and we'll do one part each month on the first thru third Saturdays of the month. The fourth Saturday will be system training for customers and affiliates of SendOutCards. And on the fifth Saturday (once a quarter), we'll have prize drawings. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to do this yet via Zoom but we'll figure it out. Then we'll repeat the training every quarter.

Maybe in a few months we can do this in person as well as via Zoom but for now it's only via Zoom.

The Zoom Meeting ID: 569 781 8619.

I'm looking forward to helping you build your business.

We're still doing this virtually, although now I'm doing the relationship marketing part (the first 3 Saturdays) in the Relationship Marketing Tips and Techniques Facebook group, while the training on the 4th Saturday is in the Modesto GS Pros group. There aren't any events on the 5th Saturday of the month. I'm tentatively planning on holding in person meetings starting in July.
