April 2007

• Management Consultants Forum                          Dallas Fort Worth Chapter
  April 16th, 2007				Secrets of Consulting To Small Companies Don't venture into the unknown unless you have a deathwish You Need to Know Small Business to Sell to Small Business When selling to small businesses, the who must come before the what. At the end of the day, we get the job because of who we are, not because of what we claim about our products and services. We may believe our products and services are great. The customer expects them to be great. So, to be successful, we must fill the gap between what we offer and what customers want, need and desire. To succeed, therefore, we must focus first on creating great client experiences (the who) and why we are the right choice to do that (also the who). Join us on April 16th and gain new perspectives from Lewis Green, a consultant and author who has built companies and helped to expand recognized enterprises. Learn why prospective clients first look at who you are, rather than what you do. "Small and large businesses have the same objective: to grow customers and their bottom lines. But they differ in the ways they outsource work to consultants. It's always about them, not us." Immerse yourself in Lewis's passionate presentation and let him help you uncover new ways to build your practice and gain enthusiastic clients. *** ONE EVENING ONLY! *** Invite a Guest Don't miss IMC D/FW's next Forum! There will be plenty of time for networking with colleagues before the presentation while you enjoy a light buffet and your choice of beverage. Hear how other consultants have leveraged their knowledge and processes by developing saleable products for use by clients or other consultants.
