💡 Morning Session

Make a Better Impression: 10 Real Reasons Why No One Refers You
Presented by Shannon Tarrant

Have you ever wondered why some companies seem to effortlessly grow their business through a non-stop flow of referrals while you’re left wondering why no one is sending anyone your way? If you provide a great customer experience, word-of-mouth referrals are bound to happen naturally. Leave with a plan to make a conscious effort to cultivate this type of lead source.

In this session, you’ll learn:

How to evaluate the areas of your business that might be lacking
Where to find win-win relationships
Ideas to keep your referral funnel always full

Shannon will help you identify the hidden gaps in your referral strategy and give you actionable steps to build relationships that lead to more business. Walk away with a practical plan to cultivate a steady stream of referrals and create the kind of partnerships that lead to long-term growth.

🥪 Lunch Break

After the morning session, we’ll take a break to refuel before diving into the co-working portion of the day.

You’ll have the option to add a boxed lunch from The Top Catering to your ticket - easy, delicious, and ready when you are. Prefer to bring your own or grab something nearby? That works too!

Heads up: If you'd like to add a boxed lunch, be sure to do so before Tuesday, August 26 so we can get your order in.

Shannon will still be onsite during the afternoon, available to answer questions, give feedback, and help you implement what you’ve learned. So plan to stick around - this is where the real magic happens.

🖥️ Afternoon Session: Co-Working + Implementation

Now that you’ve got new insights and strategies, let’s put them into action. The afternoon is all about getting things DONE - whether that’s updating your referral outreach plan, collaborating with fellow vendors, or finally starting that follow-up system you’ve been meaning to build.

We’ll create a focused, supportive co-working space so you can leave the event having already made progress.
