As professional consultants, we are constantly struggling to balance our time between working with existing clients and prospecting for new ones. This tension often leads to a "feast or famine": Our time is fully booked with clients ... until it isn't. Then we find ourselves with little billable work, searching for new business and relying on referrals to get busy again. 

In this presentation, longtime sales and marketing expert Dick Rossman will explain how to escape the trap of "feast or famine." Growing our business means that we must always be working to add new clients while keeping current ones satisfied. Dick will show you how to do this effectively, how to even out the revenue curve, and how to get yourself on the path to continuous growth.

You will learn how to:

•   Be always on the lookout for the right kind of prospective new clients

•   Network productively

•   Create strategic partnerships that work for both parties

•   Ask for referrals and introductions the right way

•   Get referral prospects to make quicker decisions

As professional service providers and entrepreneurs, we are all "in sales," whether we admit it or not. To grow our practices, we need to understand how to find and cultivate new business most effectively. Get out of your comfort zone and join Dick and the others around the breakfast table as he explains how to do this.
