Theme and Guest Facilitators: Acquiring Reference Customers

A couple of months ago, Chuck DeVita led us in a discussion about Developing Clear Value Propositions. For this month's event, we will extend that conversation and discuss the importance of acquiring reference customers once you have created an effective value proposition for your company. Chuck has gathered a panel of successful entrepreneurs and providers who will share their successes and challenges and their practical advice on how to acquire and retain reference customers and how doing so supported the overall growth of their organizations.

Facilitator Chuck DeVita, President, Growth Process Group Inc.

Panelist Steve Blank, Commissioner at California Coastal Commission, Lecturer at Stanford University, Graduate School of Engineering, Director at IMVU

Panelist John Hall, Managing Director, Horizon Ventures

Panelist Alok Srivastava, CTO at SalesEdge and previously Director of R&D for Oracle's Collaboration Services group
