Aurora Business Forum panel discussion

Building the Business One Client at a Time – Discover How to Identify Growth Opportunities with a Renewed Sense of Urgency

Registration is available through the Aurora Regional Chamber. 

Join us for a meaningful panel discussion on the topic of building our businesses regardless of the economic conditions around us.  A full hot breakfast is included. 
Effective, business building efforts are based on a number of variables, not the least is the ability to develop a keen understanding of the customers we desire to reach, what they want, and why they would be willing to invest in what you offer in these economically challenging times.  How is an effective business building strategy actually developed?  Is it simply a matter of offering a product or service that our organization believes is promising?   Is it merely identifying a sales goal to achieve – or are the issues of how we can build business activity more involved?  This unique business forum will address some of the more effective tools used to establish growing organizations.  Join us Friday morning, November 5^th, to find out more from our expert panel.
