10 Ways to Grow Your bottom Line

Mark Friedler 

We have been very fortunate in Houston to have some of the best speakers share their expertise and experience; Brad Smart, Jeff Howe, Brian tracy, just to name a few.

We are also very luck to have the same expetise and experience in our own membership pool.

Mark is a serial entrepreneur who has founded and sold 3 companies. He is currently coaching CEOs and senior executives on building their businesses and speaking to business groups about tools for growing successful companies.

 The format for this event will be an interactive seminar where he will share experiences of his 3 companies that were built and sold including GameDaily to AOL, VCast to Verizon and the first chain of cookie stores in Sweden.

The format will be highly interactive and the goal is for each member to leave with at least 2 tools they can apply in their company the next day.

In the 4 hour seminar we will do a deep dive into:
1) How to sell more and improve your margins
2) Internet marketing tools and how to apply them successfully in your business
3) How to create a plan to highlight your company's strengths and get free publicity
4) Making Social media work for you with Facebook, Twitter and boosting your Google ranking
5) How to identify the best people, recruit and retain them

Be sure to register your key employees to attend this amazing event!

 

 What would you accomplish if you had the chance to do business face-to-face overseas and airfare was not an issue?
 
British Airways' Face-to-Face contest will fly three planes full of the brightest entrepreneurial minds in the US to London and beyond - for free. The program will offer more than 1,000 business people the opportunity to travel overseas and conduct face-to-face business meetings that will potentially result in deeper partnerships, contracts and revenue for US cities.
 
AND - through a special partnership - a select group of EO members will be among those given this exclusive opportunity!
 
Contest Details
 
EO members from the US will be selected to fly, along with other entrepreneurs selected by British Airways, from New York, Chicago and Los Angeles to London. EO has been given 20 seats on each flight for US members doing business overseas. With hundreds of passengers from all over the US on the three flights, it is only fitting to call this experience a networking event at 38,000 feet.
 
The prize package includes: 

A round-trip ticket anywhere British Airways flies departing from:

New York on 15 September 2009

Los Angeles on 13 October 2009 or

Chicago on 17 November 2009

A send-off event from your departure city allowing you to network with other winners before your flight to London

Then, in London:

A one-night stopover at the Sofitel London Heathrow Hotel

An event featuring networking opportunities and insights on growing your business internationally from top business leaders and government officials

Complimentary Heathrow Express tickets if you need to go into central London

Finally, you can continue on your own path - wherever British Airways flies - to have the meetings you need to move your business forward. The return date is open.  Tell us what opportunities you would take advantage of - whether they are meetings with potential investors, visits to distributors, or introductions to new clients. You'll have the time to organize your own meetings for your business in London or beyond before returning to the US.

 
British Airways understands amazing things can happen when people come face-to-face, and EO membership brings you the chance at once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Ready to join the jet set? Enter the Face-to-Face contest today.
