Presentation Title:    Successful
Professional Branding, How to Sell Yourself Effectively

Find out what's happening in Scotts Valleywith free, real-time updates from Patch.



Short Description:    This
is an interactive session with a professional consultant to consultants while
enjoying lunch.  Be prepared to take away ideas to build your practice



As consultants we spend an
inordinate amount of time networking, socializing, marketing and trying to sell
others on the value we potentially bring to them and to their contacts.



Do you want people to WANT to give
you those introductions, the meetings with the decision makers and ultimately
the consulting contract of your dreams?



Do you want people to see and
experience you in all your professional glory and realize that you are of great
value to them?



If so, this workshop on how to
enhance your Professional Brand and Sell Yourself Effectively is for you!



Have you received conflicting
advice about how to describe your brand?  Are you told it’s only about
what you do – or have you learned that it is about who you are as well as what
you do?



Come to this workshop and develop a
powerful answer to:  “Tell me About Yourself.” 



Marketing and sales tips will
include your image, your style of presentation, your marketing/sales materials
and most importantly the answer to the usually unasked question:  “What’s
in it for Me?”
