Service companies have been among the worst hit by this pandemic. Consumers and businesses have drastically cut their expenditures on services to conserve cash and avoid human contact. However, we're still buying products that meet an immediate need:
- Instead of buying open-ended consulting services, we're buying specific online training products (contributing to the rise of Zoom shares, which have doubled since January)
- Instead of hiring personal training services, we're buying products that allow us to stay fit at home (in March, Italians bought 236% more home gym equipment from Amazon than they did during the same period last year)
- Instead of enjoying a fantastic dining experience, we're buying alcohol to take the edge off (the sale of spirits, like Vodka, are up 75% from the same period last year)
To capitalise on this flight to purchase products that meet an immediate need, service providers need to "productise their service," which is the topic of this month's seminar where you will:
- Discover 3 reasons service companies are getting hit hard now
- Learn the surprising secret Harvard Professor Theodore Levitt taught his students about why we buy
- See how 9 service businesses transformed themselves into product companies
- Get the 8-step formula for productizing your service

BUSINESS NETWORKING SKILLS
So which of these happen to you when you think of business networking skills?
- It?s not for me ? ?I?m not a natural business networker?
- I try business networking but I get
- Sweaty palms?
- Palpitations?
- Nerves?
- Butterflies in the stomach?
- Feelings of dread
- I can?t do business networking so I don?t even think about it!
- Business networking skills? You either can do it or you can?t?!
- I do it but maybe there are things I can do better to get better results ? but not sure what?
So how would it be if through the course of an hour you could take away critical business networking skills that are practical, methodical, grounded in helping you be you, and best of all, bring a sense of calm and peace and control to your business networking?
Then our next business networking skills workshop is for you.
Business networking skills ? it?s NOT a dark art!
Andy Lowe, one of our newest members to the network will share tried and testing approaches and structure to help you not only feel more confident and authentic in developing your business networking skills, but he will also enable you to craft a follow up process that?s simple, robus, honest and takes away the guessing game of 121?s.
Through this interactive seminar Andy will help attendees discover the simple ways they can improve their business networking skills:
