SUMMARY:UX Research: From Insight to Impact
DESCRIPTION:Details \n👋🏻 We cannot believe it. We’re at the last UX Salon Halifax meetup of 2022. Thank you to all those who have supported us\, both virtually and in person! It’s been so wonderful to connect with our community again. \nJoin us on Tuesday\, November 29th at 7:30 PM as we hear and learn from Dr. Simon Landry\, a Senior UX Researcher with Thomson Reuters. \nThe aim of UX is to meet the end user’s needs through the best experience possible. Often\, the best way to understand the end user’s needs is through UX research (UXR). However\, for UXR (and the product) to reach its full potential\, research must only be the start of a process that goes from insight to impact. \nIn this talk\, we’ll explore a new 6-step framework to guide UXR insights to measurable end-user impact. This presentation will share how to identify and fill gaps in product knowledge\, effectively communicate your insights\, and measure your impact on the end user. You will learn about the theory and practice to feel confident using the framework. \nSimon is a researcher with over a decade of experience working on human perception. His background includes a Ph.D. in human perception\, working in startups\, academia\, and healthcare. Throughout all this\, his focus has been generating real-world impact from research. He is currently a senior UX researcher with Thomson Reuters\, working on legal technology products. \nConnect with Simon at www.drsimonlandry.com\, on Twitter @drsimonlandry or\, on LinkedIn \nThis is a FREE event thanks to our friends at Volta (Volta – Canada’s East Coast Innovation Hubhttps://voltaeffect.com) and ResMed. There will be time for some Q&A and networking. \nThe meetup will take place in Volta’s mezzanine floor classroom. Here is the best way to access the classroom: \n\nEnter the building through the front steps on Barrington Street.\nOnce inside\, head up the escalators. Check-in with security at the lobby.\nHead down the hall and use the elevators. Choose M for the Mezzanine.\nOn the Mezzanine floor\, proceed down the hall until you see the classroom.\n\nWe look forward to seeing everyone! 👏

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn with Dashboard Marketing

We will explore 3 key components of any successful marketing strategy – brand\, customer and category. Each extremely important\, and something every organization needs to continually focus on. We will also offer insight\, advice and a framework to help build\, expand or rework anyone’s marketing strategy. Companies or community groups – be it startups\, early stage to well-established – will benefit from this fresh\, frank and unique perspective. \nIn this 1 hour presentation\, join Sean from Dashboard Marketing\, for a dynamic information session on how to market your startup. \nQuestions are welcomed and lunch is provided! \n

SUMMARY:ESG Basics for SMEs – Maintaining a competitive edge and export-readiness
DESCRIPTION:This is an introductory ESG (environmental\, social and governance) workshop that will engage participants in learning how ESG affects exporting\, investment attraction\, and bottom line risks and opportunities. \nToday’s value chains are global\, highly complex and multi-tiered integrated systems\, comprised of various organizations\, people\, activities\, and resources that may span multiple geographies and jurisdictions. Their complexity often leads to increased exposure to risk (i.e. regulatory\, geopolitical\, reputational\, resource availability\, natural disasters\, and more)\, while also providing tremendous opportunities. In support of these issues\, there has emerged a strong business case for public and private companies alike to integrate environmental\, social and governance (ESG) factors into the core of their strategy and decision making. \nParticipants will be engaged to \n\nDevelop a foundational understanding of ESG\nLearn about how ESG factors can influence their business performance\nConsider business case factors for SMEs in the context of risk and opportunity\n\nThis workshop is organized by the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources and Renewables and Nova Scotia Business Incorporated with support from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency and Net Zero Atlantic.

SUMMARY:How To Sell Group Programs To Corporate Buyers
DESCRIPTION:Stop chasing clients. Start landing DEALS.\nThe “How To Sell Group Programs To Corporate Buyers” Virtual Summit is a one-of-a-kind educational workshop that will teach you how to grow your revenue\, impact and global reach by selling your workshops\, courses and coaching programs to companies\, governments and non-profits. There is no other sales training like it. \nREGISTER NOW \nThe Opportunity\nEach year\, corporations spend BILLIONS on group training and group coaching programs for their employees\, clients and partners. \n\nFrom meditation\, wellbeing\, new manager training\, sales coaching and BEYOND\, the corporate market is a MAJOR OPPORTUNITY for women entrepreneurs to make big money and impact a lot of people.\nThe checks are bigger\, and ONE corporate client can be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to your company over 2-5 years.\nWhen you start selling your group programs into corporate markets\, you tap into global supply chains\, export markets and you dramatically increase your ability to innovate and compete globally.\nThe World Economic Forum estimates the global market for online learning will reach $350B by 2025. Meanwhile\, corporations spend over $160B each year on corporate consultants alone.\nIt’s time for Women Entrepreneurs to get our share of this multi-billion dollar opportunity!\nWhen you learn how to successfully sell your group programs to corporate buyers\, you go from filling your programs “one seat at a time” to selling 5\, 10\, or even HUNDREDS of seats at a time.\nYou go from chasing clients to landing big deals.\nThis summit will inspire you to think bigger about selling your group programs – and we’ll show you EXACTLY how other women entrepreneurs just like you are making more money by selling their programs to corporate\, NGOs and government buyers.\n\nThe Problem\nWe’ve identified 3 core things that hold women entrepreneurs back from selling their group programs into corporate markets: \n\nSelling into corporate can be really intimidating for a solo entrepreneur or small business owner.\nMost training that teaches you how to sell to corporate focuses on selling consulting services NOT group programs. Selling your TIME (i.e. your consulting services) and selling your GROUP PROGRAMS are completely different.\nSelling to a person and selling to a company are very different. The tactics\, strategies and approaches you use to sell will be different too.\n\nWe created the “How To Sell Group Programs to Corporate Buyers Summit” to fill this gap\, inspire you to think BIGGER about what’s possible for your group program\, and equip you with “Made for Women Entrepreneurs By Women Entrepreneurs” solutions to help you sell your group programs to the corporate market. \nWho Is This Summit For?\nThe “How To Sell Group Programs to Corporate Buyers Summit” is for any woman entrepreneur as well as her supporters and allies – who are curious about how to sell your workshops\, courses\, coaching\, or learning programs to ORGANIZATIONS. \nWhether you are just getting started as an entrepreneur OR you are a seasoned business person\, this highly focused summit will equip you with practical\, actionable steps to tap into global supply chains with your group programs. From mindfulness to sales training\, from conflict resolution to new manager training\, we’ll show you how to start selling your learning programs to major corporate\, NGO and government buyers. \nWhat Will You Learn?\n\nThe key differences between selling to an individual buyer versus selling to a corporate buyer.\nWhat corporate buyers are looking for when they invest in group programs.\nWhat to include in your proposals so you WIN the business…and what to leave out.\nMistakes to AVOID when selling group programs to corporate buyers\nHow to know when you are READY to sell your program to a corporate buyers\nKey differences between selling consulting SERVICES vs GROUP PROGRAMS to corporate buyers\nMade for Women Entrepreneurs By Women Entrepreneurs sales strategies to land major corporate deals\nHow to transform your first deal into many more\nWhich specific industries and segments are HOT right now\nAnd much more!
