  Speaker: Tracey Warren, Ignite Your Champions

  Topic: Turning Connections into Community: How to create memorable moments that help you stand out for referrals, retention and reciprocation

  What if you already knew everyone you needed to know to be successful in your business - for referrals, increased revenue, reduced risk?

  Because chances are you do!

  In times of uncertainty, the most important resource each of you has is the PEOPLE around you - whatever role they play in your life and business.

  In this workshop, we will start to dig in to the IGNITE framework for deciding who the most important people might be, sharing creative and affordable ideas for staying in touch, and taking your business or organization beyond transaction to a place of transformation where you are creating memorable connections that last.

  This is about creating an intentional, strategic plan for building Champions and how that can support you in growing your business!

  Every attendee will also receive a copy of Tracey’s book, Ignite Your Champions!
