| EVENT INFO |
"But you assured me..." is the common opening lament of unhappy customers whose expectations were mismanaged regarding such things as cost, schedule, scope, or the extent of the benefit they will receive. You, on the other hand, are sure that you never made such assurances. Why do clashes like this occur so often? How can they be avoided?
The SMPS Austin chapter welcomes Ross Mitchel, founder of Implementations, Inc., as speaker for our September luncheon. Ross’ presentation will focus on the root causes and underlying dynamics of mismanaged expectations, as well as the impact that even minor miscommunication can have on your business. You’ll learn how eliminating such events can differentiate you from the competition, and what strategies and techniques to apply for improvement.

Freedom. Passion. Confidence.
According to national presentation skills coach Carol Doscher, that's what you need to be your best and sincerely connect with others...and that's when your business grows.
Join the SMPS Austin Chapter for a lively 1/2 day workshop with Carol, President of Graceworks, and Geoff Webb, Vice President of Graceworks. This interactive workshop is different than most technical approaches to public speaking and presenting. This program will focus on bringing sincerity and life to business interactions and is great for marketers, principals, project managers, and anyone in your firm who is charged with making "human connections" with clients.
