With decades of experience in marketing, advertising, prospecting and sales, Chris Motley and Breandan Filbert will show you time tested methods of prospecting and selling a creative service. They will cover building and maintaining a prospecting funnel, why people buy, developing multiple streams of revenue, and much much more. Join us on Friday, January the 29th at 11:30 AM to expand your abilities and get moving in the right direction.
