North Phoenix Chamber of Commerce

A power team is a group people of complementary professions. They work with the same clients, but do not take business away from each other.

Before I answer that question, let me answer: Do I need a blog on my website? 

The answer is YES if you want to: 

• Become known as an expert in your field
• Drive traffic to your website
• Get on the first page of Google search
• Increase brand awareness
• Offer useful information to potential customers
• Generate quality leads

Google is looking for fresh, relevant content written for the human reader. 

That’s blogging! 

Sponsored by North Phoenix Chamber of Commerce and Phoenix Business Journal, the Institute of Communications presents three marketing experts giving you all of the information you need to survive and even thrive in any economy at its "Money Saving Marketing Secrets to Growing Your Business for Less" event on March 13, 2013.

If you are determined to not be a victim in uncertain times, this seminar is for you!

Speakers Sandy Cowen, Ed Phillips and Ryan Parker will help attendees:

• Double or even triple your sales by applying five key principles
• Identify what you're really selling, something most businesses don't do.
• Develop powerful communication techniques to motivate your team
• Learn how "Walking the Talk" adds to your bottom line
• Learn how your website can work for or against you
• Learn how to attack your competition at its weakness, not its strength
