  • How to Sell Your Services with Seminars Page 2 / 5 White Glove
    Page 1 / 5 White Glove ® How to Sell Your Services With Seminars Page 2 / 5 White Glove Seminars are a powerful marketing tool - particularly when they are strictly focused on education. And for service-based companies, educational seminars might just be the best lead generation source you’ll ever find. Seminars often require a longer, more complex sales cycle, during which a prospect needs to have the chance to understand the solutions available to them and how they work. At White Glove, we help our clients host over 650 educational seminars a month to build relationships and grow their business. In this article, we’ll share how to use seminars as a marketing tool and why they work. Why host seminars? Most businesses use a variety of marketing tools to reach their ideal audience, from buying leads, to targeted advertising online and offline, to social media campaigns, to websites with SEO programs - among others. While all these methods do a good job of "pushing" your brand and your marketing message out to prospects, seminars have a few powerful advantages over all of those. 1. Seminars are scalable. Perhaps you attend networking meetings and other business functions that allow you to meet potential clients who you then invite to coffee or lunch. That’s a great approach, but you could find your calendar full of coffees and lunches that take a lot of your billable time. If you need to grow your business, you have to have coffee with more and more people, but at some point, you’re going to run out of time.

Dawson, III This dissertation provides analysis on several areas of study related to the history of the United States Marine Corps in the Civil War Era. One element scrutinizes the efforts of Commandant Archibald Henderson to transform the Corps into a more nimble and professional organization. Henderson's initiatives are placed within the framework of the several fundamental changes that the U.S. Navy was undergoing as it worked to experiment with, acquire, and incorporate new naval technologies into its own operational concept.

  • November 2019 to Council Town Manager’S Message
    TOWN MANAGER’S EXECUTIVE REPORT Town of Oro Valley | NOVEMBER 2019 TO COUNCIL TOWN MANAGER’S MESSAGE Last week, I attended the quarterly Sun Corridor Board meeting and learned that the region is has been extremely successful in attracting new leads to the greater Tucson area, including the highest percentage of aerospace and defense leads the organization has ever seen, at 31% of total leads. Executive Director Joe Snell attributes this increase to the success of tapping into the Raytheon supply chain, given the previous and announced growth of the defense contractor. Mr. Snell also reported a very successful executive sales mission trip to New York City in October, where the Town of Oro Valley was well represented by Councilmember Rhonda Piña and CED Director JJ Johnston. He indicated that leads had already been generated as a result of the trip, and that they expect to see at least 25% more leads from that region in the coming months as a result of the outreach. The Town is pleased to congratulate the University of Arizona for obtaining a Letter of Reasonable Assurance by the American Veterinary Medical Association to open the state’s first public College of Veterinary Medicine. This provisional accreditation step will be in place until its first cohort graduates in 2023. UArizona has also recently closed on an additional piece of property in the vi- cinity of the college, and they are moving forward with the recruitment of students to start in Au- gust 2020. In other matters: The Town Council decision on October 4 regarding the golf courses has had a positive effect on the recruitment of new members.
