CORPORATE CONNECTIONS
We know that a major draw of the WBDC’s annual conference is "Corporate Connections," our one-on-one matchmaker event. The number of one-on-one meetings has tripled in each of the past two years, and reached 175 at the 2006 conference. We encourage you to register for the conference early to allow a broader selection of our corporate partners to review your company profile. We will also be hosting "Corporate Connections" events at corporate and government sites throughout the year.
CAPACITY BUILDING PROGRAM
The goal of the Capacity Building Program is to enable you to be better positioned to increase sales to our corporate partners and other corporations and government agencies. The program has the following components: Accelerating your Sales Performance, a four part sales seminar, that helps clients eliminate the headache of erratic sales results and choppy profitability and helps them to build a powerful and professional sales organization. Cycle of Success, a hard-hitting six-month series that teaches business owners how to profitably manage operations – one of the keys to successfully managing a company.
