KEYNOTE PRESENTATION:

FOLLOWING YOUR PASSION
Be A Part Of Something Bigger Than Yourself

PAUL WIEST, PRESIDENT - CORNERSTONE CONSULTING

Why are highly successful companies obsessed with collaboration?   They see effective collaboration as critical to fostering a committed and engaged workforce as well as strategy for building their supply chains and customer base.

At this year’s B2B you have the opportunity to experience why highperformance companies view the world of business through the lens of collaborative networks and relationships.  You will participate in two action packed exercises that will provoke thought and “conversations” about the potential that can be gained by collaborating.  You will then have the opportunity to work with your peers, sharing strategies that you have found effective for your business.

AZADEH YARAGHI, BRAND STRATEGIST, #1 Bestseller on Amazon, speaker, mentor and founder of Gogo Telugo Creatives

Contradictory to popular belief, branding is not your Logo, Website, or Marketing Collateral. Understanding the true definition of branding will ignite how business owners can use it to their advantage.
 
Introducing the out-of-the-box idea that your clients or customers are not buying your products or services. What they are in fact buying is an idea and a brand promise. What are you promising to them? 
 
Often, entrepreneurs make the mistake of focusing too much on their own end-game and forget to turn the focus on the perspective of their ideal target market.   
 
By discovering the ONE IDEA that your audience actually buys into gives way to defining your company’s brand, positioning, story, and ultimately how people connect with your business. It’s quite empowering!
