Cold calling may not be anyone’s favorite part of building a business, but the conversations it starts can lead to customers, referral partners, community connections, and unexpected opportunities.
Join us for Coffee Connect on August 19 as Mary Wesley with EvolvKC shares stories from a career that began in credit card processing and how flying became part of the journey. Drawing from experiences making cold calls on small businesses, Mary will explore how approaching outreach from a relationship standpoint can turn an uncomfortable task into meaningful connections.
It really is a small world. The person you meet today could become a customer, collaborator, referral partner, or valuable member of your professional network tomorrow.
Entrepreneurs, business owners, sales professionals, and anyone looking to build stronger business relationships will leave with encouragement to start more conversations, make authentic connections, and recognize the opportunities that can come from simply reaching out.
Wednesday, August 19
7:45–9:00 a.m.

Coffee and bagels will be provided by our Coffee Sponsor, Express Employment Professionals.
