I had the pleasure of presenting an exhibitor training seminar to distributors from all over the country who market and install beautiful floor coatings in residential garages, plane hangers, industrial buildings etc. The Garage Floor Coating parent company is located in Phoenix.

It is important to note that these small business owners left their companies, flew out of town and devoted several days to improve their product knowledge, sales skills and marketing expertise. In spite of the economic uncertainty, expense and time involved, they invested in their business and themselves. They did not moan and groan, complain or blame. They took charge of their own future. As a result of what they learned, they probably got one step ahead of their competition.
I taught them how to turn their exhibit booth into a powerful profit center. How to set goals for the show, generate leads and sales, design a dynamic display, promote attendees to the booth and follow up with qualified prospects. Suppliers taught them about the latest product benefits and industry technologies and the parent company gave them the encouragement and support they needed to overcome the hardships of this current economic climate. They networked with their peers, shared problems and successes and got re-energized. I encourage you to get up, get out and go to seminars, conferences and tradeshows to stay sharp and on the cutting edge. Read, surf the net and stay up to date on what it takes to grow and prosper in business. Come meet me and learn about selling, marketing, business plans, organizing, publicity and more at the Women Entrepreneurs’ Small Business Boot Camp, February 6th.

When you get together a couple hundred vibrant, enthusiastic women, eager to learn the lastest business tools, cultivate new sales prospects and meet new friends, you are bound to end up with one fantastic event. That’s how the day turned out at the 6th annual Women Entrepreneurs’ Small Business Boot Camp on Saturday in Scottsdale, Arizona. I laughed, I cried and I learned alot from the fantastic speakers, sponsors and exhibitors showcasing their knowledge. I was a little worried that the tough economic challenges would put a damper on this historically successful event. Luckily, women business owners are resilient when it comes to obstacles, relentless in their search for improvement and always looking for ways to share with their peers. It was a great day for everyone, especially me. I was thrilled with the level of excitement and humbled by the standing ovation I received for my presentation. Thanks to everyone who participated. I hope to see you again next year.
