It is dedicated to dynamically enhance your potential for lead generation. With a consistent location and innovative networking strategies, PerkUp! is guaranteed to become a lead generation machine. In addition, our next Professional Development venue (Thursday, June 7th) will feature a major business development specialist; Mark Sheffert CEO Manchester Group. He will discuss managing cash flow to improve profitability, your strategic business options, and negioating with vendors, creditors, and lenders. Mark Sheffert typically charges a significant consulting fee for the information he will share. Only the White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce can offer you this unique opportunity to learn concrete solutions to improve business performance. Don’t let the “no cost” aspect of this program deceive you of its value. I guarantee you will find this professional development event well worth your time investment.
