Not Your Typical 90-Day Planning Workshop: SPEAKER: Karen Cox, KLICKThinking, LLC • Identify the absolute must-dos for you and your team for the next 90 days. Why 90 days? Year-long goals drag on and on, and often don’t actually get completed! • How to find potential clients and get customers to find you! • Methods for getting them to know and trust you so they buy from you • Focus on 90-days to get big wins throughout the year; • Test out a new idea (think product or service offerings, ad campaigns) without committing to a full year or abandoning an idea too early. • Pro-actively review your outcomes in real-time so you can make more informed and purposeful decisions. • Outlines the goals, strategies, marketing plans, financial projections, and other critical aspects of starting or expanding a business.
