DURHAM REGION, ON OCT. 22, 2008: Every successful small business tells a story, if you only care to ask, says Rick Spence of Profit Magazine. Spence shares these fascinating success stories at the Business in Motion conference October 22nd at the Oshawa Golf and Country Club. These thriving companies earned a spot on Profit’s 100 fastest-growing companies and Spence outlines the creative management ideas, brilliant tactics, and clever sales strategies that got them there.
“These ideas aren’t written down anywhere — you only hear them when you sit and talk with these guys, and most people don’t get a chance to do that. These companies have made a huge impact in their marketplaces very quickly; they’ve managed to grow and yet still hold together. It’s all new, it’s all Canadian, it’s all current and it’s all relevant.”
“Rick Spence has more business knowledge in his little finger than most people gain in a lifetime,” says Sue Sutcliffe, one of six high-powered business experts that share the stage with Spence at the one-day event. Sutcliffe, an engaging professional speaker, promises there will be plenty to learn and lots of innovative ideas to take away.
“I love giving business owners new ideas, and challenging them to sift through and find the ones will work for them,” says Spence. But it doesn’t end with gathering new ideas: “Then I challenge them to execute. It’s too easy to go back to the office and get back into the grind. Nothing ever changes; you lose that initiative. I’m going to challenge them to overcome that.”
Media personality David Cohen notes that one such idea can be worth the price of admission. The much-loved business coach and sales guru kicks off the day with a lesson in how to be unstoppable. Susan Scott of Full Circle Communications talks about powering up your business with strong branding. Sutcliffe, an expert in Internet marketing, reveals how mixing business with pleasure on social networking sites like Facebook can boost your business quotient.
In the afternoon, best-selling author Jennifer Hough takes the podium to coach effortless marketing techniques. Business consultant Peter Cluff counsels safe risk management. Tiffany St-Germain, of Shop Aware Inc., exposes the hidden business resources you didn’t even know you had.
The day promises to fire up your business and shift it into overdrive. Get in the driver’s seat and go! The Business in Motion conference runs from 8 am.-5 pm. It includes breakfast, lunch and time to network. Passports are $179, with an early bird price of $149 before October 7.
