SUMMARY:Find Your Customer. Grow Your Sales.
DESCRIPTION:Stop marketing to everyone. Start selling to the people who will actually buy.\nDo you feel like you’re working hard but not growing? The problem often isn’t your product or service — it’s that you’re trying to reach everyone instead of focusing on the customers most likely to buy\, stay\, and refer others.\nIn this practical workshop\, Paula Short will help you build a clear picture of your ideal customer\, understand how they think and buy\, and align your message\, your offer\, and your sales approach around them. You’ll leave with a sharper focus on who your business should be targeting — and a practical plan for reaching them\, converting them\, and turning them into loyal repeat customers.
