In fact\, the biggest reason why small businesses fail is not that they don’t have a great solution to a problem\, but because they lack the necessary tools to concisely communicate their solution. \nThe Business Translator Series is designed to help business owners communicate the message of their solution to the needs of their customers. This is done through a 5-part series to help you connect better with your customer. Read below for the Individual Workshop Descriptions to decide if you should attend one\, some or all of the workshops to help you better communicate with customers. Brought to you by Elevate Venturesand elevate northeast indiana. \nBusiness Translator 501 \nThis workshop teaches companies how to build strategic messages designed to connect with customers at different touchpoints.\nDate/Time: December 4 from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.\nLocation: Start Fort Wayne at The Atrium\, 111 W Berry St\, Suite #211 Fort Wayne\, Indiana[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”fontawesome” url=”https://www.eventbrite.com/e/business-translator-series-does-your-customer-understand-what-youre-saying-elevate-northeast-indiana-tickets-47960203259″ text=”Register For Event”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

In fact\, the biggest reason why small businesses fail is not that they don’t have a great solution to a problem\, but because they lack the necessary tools to concisely communicate their solution. \nThe Business Translator Series is designed to help business owners communicate the message of their solution to the needs of their customers. This is done through a 5-part series to help you connect better with your customer. Read below for the Individual Workshop Descriptions to decide if you should attend one\, some or all of the workshops to help you better communicate with customers. Brought to you by Elevate Ventures and elevate northeast indiana. \nBusiness Translator 401 \nThis workshop teaches companies how to take a look at competition through analyzing the needs of customers and the difference in solutions you have to offer.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”fontawesome” url=”https://www.elevateventures.com/business-translator-series-workshop-401/” text=”View Event”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

In fact\, the biggest reason why small businesses fail is not that they don’t have a great solution to a problem\, but because they lack the necessary tools to concisely communicate their solution. \nThe Business Translator Series is designed to help business owners communicate the message of their solution to the needs of their customers. This is done through a 5-part series to help you connect better with your customer. Read below for the Individual Workshop Descriptions to decide if you should attend one\, some or all of the workshops to help you better communicate with customers. Brought to you by Elevate Ventures and elevate northeast indiana. \n  \nThis workshop teaches companies how to connect with customers\, meeting customer needs and gaining customer business.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”fontawesome” url=”https://www.elevateventures.com/business-translator-series-workshop-301/” text=”View Event”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
