Wednesday, October 9 – MEETING CANCELED!

We have canceled the STC Berkeley meeting for tonight because of the widespread electrical outage planned by PG&E. The building we meet in will be closed, and the streetlights and traffic lights in the neighborhood will not be working.

Please join us for our next meeting on Wednesday, November 13. Our October speaker has rescheduled for then. Same topic: “How to Get Clients and Keep Them,” presented by Constance Rose.

******************

Speaker: Constance Rose, Founder of Advocacy for Humankind (www.advocacyforhumankind.com). 

In an unpredictable job market, maybe it makes sense to take control and build your own business. This talk will be about getting clients and retaining them, and the challenges you will face as a solo entrepreneur or small business owner. Subject matter covered will be:

  • Your brand
  • Getting clients
  • Retaining clients
  • The hats you will wear
  • Incorporate or not

Don’t forget to buy tickets.
