PROGRAM:
You are a wedding planner. You are a business person. The two are not exclusive, although the media and blogs focus just on the pretty part of this industry. But, you are more than a pretty face. You are an entrepreneur and you make the economy go around. Now, here's how to affect change within the world.
In this session you will find out how to get your savvy on. How to stand out in a crowded market. How to generate a buzz for what you do, whether you are a start up or an established firm.
Success leaves clues. At this session you will hear from a speaker who has become a hands-on detective in finding those clues. David Hauser has created several successful startups in the cut-throat world of technology start-ups. What he's learned applies to all types of industries, the competitive wedding profession being no different.
Some key takeaways include:
Identify your core purpose and company culture
•••
Create a strong voice and brand through all your internal and external interactions
•••
Make your company stand out
•••
Create buzz in your market, whether you have just started out, or have been around for decades
