What's the new topic and who's speaking?
Our topic will be “Marketing and Selling in the Trust Economy”.
Our guest presenter is Iven Frangi, business builder and recognised thought leader
on customer experience.
Iven helps businesses acquire, keep and grow the number of their profitable
customers, having special regard to the crucial role of ‘trust’. He is a graduate in
marketing and a Fellow of The Customer Service Institute of Australia.
His clients value his practical strategies, tools and insights. Iven shows his clients
how to: “give customers an experience they can’t get anywhere else, so they won’t
go anywhere else”.
From Iven’s session, you will take away:


how to close the gap between customer expectations and experience
how to use social media to improve trust and sales.
There will be a Q & A session with Iven at the end of his presentation and so bring
along all your questions about marketing and selling issues you are facing in your
business.

How much?
There is a $20.00 door charge per person to cover room hire and the meal. Please

At the end of the meeting, if you leave without taking away at least one great idea to
turn around your business, then you can get a refund of your $20.00 on the way out
- no questions asked!
And what about the tiger?
This Business Club is all about looking at your business 'through the eye of the
tiger'.
Remember:
"It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight, rising up to the spirit of our rival,
and the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night, and it all comes down to
survival".
Hope you can make it on 30 January for an enjoyable and informative time
together. As you look afresh at your business with the help of others, you never
know what might leap out!
Cheers
David Sharrock
Facilitator of the School of Hard Knocks
