IT'S A DONE DEAL

Putting on a conference is a bit like organizing a wedding. I should know – I did both last year! Both take a lot of planning and forethought to make sure all the right people are invited, meet each other and everyone has fun. But like a wedding, there is a feeling of anti-climax once it is over.

It’s the day after, and we’re surrounded by boxes – leftovers from the event. However, clearly the memory of the day is not over for you and it has been wonderful to hear the feedback from our “guests.” It would appear that everyone did have a good time; that they connected with the right people, and left a little bit more confident, knowledgeable and inspired than when they arrived.

Come to one networking dinner and see how fast you get support and connections for your business!

A membership at Company of Women isn’t simply a chance to network. It’s connecting to the best people, the best ideas and the best benefits.

Attract Your Dream Customer!
by Wendy Maynard

Have you clearly defined your target audience? These are the prime buyers of your products or services. It is the people or organizations you are pursuing actively as customers. You don’t need every customer in the world! You need the ones who are a good match for YOU. The more specific you are, the more effective your marketing campaign will be.

Fierce Conversations: Achieving Success at Work & in Life, One Conversation at a Time
Susan Scott

“ While no single conversation is guaranteed to change the trajectory of a business, a career, a marriage, or a life, any single conversation can. The conversation is the relationship.”

Whether you are dealing with relationships at home or at work, Susan Scott, author of Fierce Conversations- Achieving Success at Work and in Life, One Conversation at a Time, argues that your response is the same. She compares it to an orange which when squeezed produces orange juice, likewise when we get squeezed, when things aren’t going well for us, what comes out is what is inside us.
