Nitty-Gritty TeleForum  Fundamental Business Building Skills

Do you want to expand your client base but don't know where to start? Are you struggling with helping prospects understand how your design work can help them grow their businesses? Or perhaps you've been spending time and energy going to networking meetings but not getting any good new clients for your efforts?

If this sounds familiar maybe all you need is a little focus. Having a tight focus or specialization for your design business does not mean you can't do other work, it just makes it a whole lot easier to find new prospects and turn them into paying clients.

If you'd like some down to earth advice on how to grow your design business faster by finding your focus, come join us at the next AIGA Nitty-Gritty TeleForum.

If you are interested in participating in this teleconference, please email pam@futureresultsnow.com and login details will be emailed to you.

For those of you who are new to our TeleForum calls:

1. Pick up your telephone and dial the phone number, but please do not call early.

2. After one ring, you will be automatically connected to the TeleForum. No operators, no waiting.

3. During the call, feel free to speak up and share as appropriate, always using your first name and city.

4. If you call in using a speaker phone or cell phone please be prepared to "mute" except when you are speaking during the call. Just press *6 to toggle the mute on and off. This ensures the best possible call quality for all participants. We welcome multiple participants from your design firm. As there is no fee for the call you may find it easiest for each participant to call in on a separate line.

5. You can come and go as you please during the call, so if you need to step away for a few minutes, please just hang up and dial back in.

Note: There is a long distance call charge for your call into the conference center, but the 60 minute call should not cost more than $3 -$4. If you don't have a good long distance plan, try picking up a phone card from Walmart.
