Speaking to Attract More Clients………
Back in ’09, my friend, Denise Williams of Peoples Bank, and I formed the Executive Women of LKN group. For a while I served as the Speaker/Education Coordinator for the group. I was mostly responsible for introducing the speakers, which I thought would be pretty easy since I’m usually comfortable speaking casually in front of groups.

The definition of joint ventures is the cooperation of two or more individuals or businesses in which each agrees to share profit, loss and control in a specific enterprise. Joint ventures, also known as partnerships, can be utilized in a much less formal way and still be highly effective. Recently, I had the opportunity to “joint venture” through co-op advertising with some companies on marketing campaigns. In these partnerships, we merely split the cost of the campaign while enjoying the benefits of more exposure for a fraction of the cost. This allows The U Center and the other...
