Start Me Up Clinic is designed to help you enhance your business idea, strengthen your business model and revitalize your go-to-market plan so that you can attract customers and win in the market.

By developing a precise, consistent set of messages that everyone in the company will use to talk to customers, you will optimize the likelihood of your brand success. A customer needs to hear a message 7 times before it is internalized. It is critical that every interaction between the company and the target customer is consistent over time by every member of the team (sales and otherwise).

Part 3 and 4 are ideal for early-stage companies or established businesses that are looking to re-define their brand or are launching a new product.

Part 1: Develop Your Value Proposition (Instructor Dave Freeman)

October 16 @ 9 am-12 noon
