Back by popular demand: Ultra-networking that answers your most pressing questions!

* It's time to raise your rates. How and when do you tell existing clients?
* Your business is growing and you want to build alliances with other consultants. What are the best ways to do that? How do you work out the business arrangements?
* You keep hitting time crunches when projects collide. How can you be clear – with yourself and clients – about what you can reasonably deliver in what time frame?
* When it’s time to end a project that isn’t going well, how do you exit with grace and with integrity?
* What are the warning signs that a client or project isn't a good match?
* You're thinking about creating products to supplement your services. Should the products be for your target markets or a way of serving clients who are normally too small for your services?
* Some parts of your business are more satisfying and successful than others, and you'd like to shift the mix toward the type of clients/industry, work life balance, and/or income. What are some ways to do that effectively?

In this interactive table networking session, you’ll not only enjoy a full two hours of quality networking, but you’ll get the answers to some of your stickiest questions. The ones above are just the starting point. Bring others. We’ll tackle the most urgent ones, and you’ll leave with new perspective and approaches. Come for the answers! Come for the fun!
