March Membership Meeting--Marketing for the New Economy with Phil Ray
Wednesday, March 3, 2010 6:00-9:00 pm
The definition and makeup of “Good Marketing” two years ago, would likely look different than effective marketing plans, strategies and executions today. Two years ago, all you needed was Good Word of Mouth from people who liked you. Today, people value their money a little more & are less inclined to choose a company, solely based on a friend’s opinion. Today, they need to see the value in EVERY dollar they spend with you. Therefore, NARI has invited National sales trainer & industry expert, Phil Rea, to speak at our March 3 meeting in Richmond!
Phil will speak on, “Marketing for the New Economy”, & the effectiveness of internet-based marketing. As company owner of R2R Associates, LLC, a Business-to-Business Marketing & Sales Support firm in Newport News, Phil talks with hundreds of companies each month conveying their marketing efforts –what works & what doesn’t. He will bring these experiences, ideas & motivation to you, your team & your company. Be sure to Join Us!
