Women Are Changing the Face of Business: Tapping Into What Women Do Best

In this "new economy," a successful, thriving business understands how buying decisions are made, by whom, and - most important - how to cater to today's consumer. When men talk, it’s conversation. When women talk, it’s RESEARCH! Women like to do business with someone they know. If they need something, they ask other women who they would recommend. Learn how to utilize this wonderful quality and make the most of "girl talk!" Once you understand what women look for, your business will be able to tailor its sales program to meet their needs!

 

Girlfriends: The Secret to Live a Sane, Balanced Life

 

As our lives evolve, so do our girlfriends. Your girlfriend in college was very different from the girlfriend who shared the excitement of your first real job. As a newlywed, you made new girlfriends who related to the challenges you were encountering as you began life as a "team." As a new mom, you found new girlfriends who understood your new role. As your career progressed and you moved up the ladder or became an entrepreneur, you had girlfriends at a whole different level. All these wonderful women understood what you were going through at the time. You were girlfriends for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Friendships bloom and fade, without guilt or remorse. Join Ann for a celebration of GIRLFRIENDS and some with fresh new perspectives and a renewed sense of spirit & commitment.

 

Women and Leadership: Personality Traits of Winners

 

We all see "successful" women and think, "Look at her. She is a leader in the community, well-known and respected in her field. She has it made. She couldn't possibly have the challenges that I have..." Yet everyone has challenges, but how they are handled differs hugely from person to person. Ann has observed and talked to many women who have been knocked down (in business and in life) but they pulled themselves back up and have triumphed over adversity. These amazing women all seem to exhibit certain skills and personality traits. In Ann's presentation we'll look at some of these traits and hear how YOU can LEARN how to project a professional, successful image, but there are all sorts of resources available for you to STUDY and shorten your learning curve!

 

Marketing in 2012: ALL Business is SHOW Business

 

Ann grew up in Ft. Collins where her dad, who owned the Trail & Aggie Theaters, taught her that “All business is show business – you have to be comfortable in the spotlight.” She grew understanding that the stars on the big screen has secrets that helped them be successful. YOU can apply these secrets to create star power, raving fans, and a wildly successful career. YOU are the star, and it doesn't matter what you are selling - your raving fans will buy it! In Ann’s presentation, she’ll show you how to become a STAR and create your own personal brand, position yourself as THE expert in your field, and package your knowledge to create more sales success. By injecting your personality in your marketing, not only will you build name and face recognition, but you’ll create a professional image that people WANT to do business with. It's true: ALL business is SHOW business!

Make Networking A Part of Your Marketing Plan

 

We do business with people we know; we give referrals to people we like. How do you get to know people? NETWORKING!

Truly effective networking builds relationships which lead to connections which lead to opportunties to do business!

 

Spinning Plates: Can You Really Have It All?

 

As young women, we were told that we could have it all and we could do it all. We tried, and we were like a juggler spinning plates, faster and faster, and yet sooner or later we failed and something fell...and broke. But our plates were family, work, health, relationships, children, parents, friends. How can we master this intricate balance without breaking something very precious?
