Pre-dinner Program: 5:20 P.M.
Today's business climate has changed
dramatically from what it was just a few years ago. Shrinking
budgets, tighter profit margins and smaller staff sizes make every
market more competitive. At the same time, companies must turn a
profit in order to stay alive. This program will address the
challenges that individuals and companies encounter when faced with
The New Business Reality of being asked to do more, better, faster and
with fewer resources. Participants will begin to learn about:
presenting themselves to others in more compelling ways;
differentiating themselves from competitors, addressing the call and
commitment to be a leader, encouraging and motivating others, how to
think like their customers and how to develop better questioning and
listening skills. Presenter: Steve Musto Before joining Dale Carnegie Training in 2001, Steve Musto spent

Dinner: 7:00 P.M.
Post-Dinner Program: 8:00 P.M. Giving a "Face" and
"Voice" to your We all know that what our CLIENTS say
about our work is far more important than anything we say. That's
why nearly all of us have some kind of client endorsement letters or
excerpts that we share in marketing materials on paper or on the web. These endorsements are often
a pain to get -- to get RIGHT -- to get QUICKLY -- and they are most
often "dead information." In other words, there is no face or voice to
go with the endorsement that can carry the real passion of your Raving
Fans to others. Bill Metcalf will show you one FREE method, and one
REALLY CHEAP method (under $50), and one pretty cheap method (under $750) to give your Raving Fans BOTH a face and a voice to help them
trumpet your praise, separate you from the competition, and get you
business! Presenter: Bill Metcalf Bill Metcalf, the Nation's TechnoMotivator(tm), helps people discover
new ways to use communication technology by overcoming their fears and
engaging their creative thinking. Bill has made a specialty of
showing organizations ways that they can effectively use new communication
technology - particularly the Net - to gain a competitive advantage. He
is the President of TechnoShift, Inc. and was recently selected to be
the Executive Director of COOL - Cooperative Opportunity for Online
Learning - a not-for-profit dedicated to helping young people teach
older people how to use technology. Bill's years on stage as a
professional actor make his presentations fun, inventive, and thought
provoking. Yet today, he uses more technology than most "techies" he
knows.
