Turning Contacts Into Connections - Turning Connections Into Contracts

Do all business owners want more business by referral? YES, absolutely.However, how many of them have a referral marketing plan for their business?Not many. Are they getting all the referrals they want for their business?Probably not. Do you actually get referrals predictably and consistently or by chance only?

Referral marketing is the most effective form of marketing for businesses with limited marketing budgets. We will discover the key elements of a referral marketing plan and how they will apply to your business. And we will discuss how to develop a strategic referral network. Take advantage of the possibilities of generating more sales in less time by doing business by relationship.

On April 7th and 8th, elite women personalities of the World gather in Vienna at LeaderSHE International Forum, to debate, in a solutions-driven dialogue, major themes of the day: the aftermath of the economic meltdown - reinventing business models, strategies for sustainable growth and innovation, government-driven solutions for business sustainability, globalization or market expansion. The event is organized by Forum Invest Romania with the special support of Mr. Erhard Busek, former Vice Chancellor of Austria.
