A Free On-Demand Virtual Training
Created To Help You Keep Moving Forward In A Wonky Business Climate
Training + Tools To Help Right Now
With businesses closing, layoffs taking place, and uncertainty of how long the current business climate will last hanging over your head, it is difficult to continue doing business, marketing, and selling as usual because nothing is usual about the current state of affairs.
Luckily, whether you’re a service-based freelancer or small agency, there are tactics and methods you can apply right now that will help your business not only survive an uncertain economy but emerge well-positioned for success.
The key to success right now is to pause, pivot, and prosper:
- Pause and take a step back to consider what your clients and prospects need most and how you can help
- Pivot what you’re already doing and make small tweaks to strengthen existing client relationships and help new clients say yes
- Prosper in successful partnerships because when you and your client are happy, you both benefit
Pause, Pivot, And Prosper delivers training sessions from freelancers, small business owners, and business growth experts who are sharing actionable insights and tips along with the tools and templates you need to take action.
It’s as simple as that and I hope you’ll join us.
Here’s the thing…
- If your business is struggling…
- If clients are pulling back, delaying, or canceling contracts…
- If leads have slowed to a minimum…
- If you’re worried about the future…
- Or, if things are still okay and you simply want to make sure you remain vigilant and prepared for what may come…
This live training event was designed especially for you.
Doing business right now is no joke, so you won’t find any of those “lure you to the webinar and hide the most important stuff behind a paywall” tactics here. In fact, there is no upsell at all. I just want to help. So instead, you’ll only get honesty, empathy, and the what, why, and how of what is working right now.
