Using a "Big Idea" to Attract New Clients and Grow Your Business

Your Big Idea is a thought, ideal, or goal that is more than your products or services. When you can address a real need and expand the conversation, you will drive people who have never heard of you to your website, motivate them to engage with you, and help you retain them as loyal customers.

Presenter Dave Fiore, founder of Fiore Communications, will help you develop your Big Idea and discuss ways to increase the effectiveness of your marketing efforts.
