Mindful Marketing

This is a tough time for businesses, large & small. They are trying to what they can to stay afloat, but when it comes to sales and marketing, it feels like walking a tightrope to do it without seeming tone-deaf or opportunistic. In this session we will discuss:

  • What are some ways you can continue to sell and market your products and services during this time?
  • How can you be genuinely useful to your clients by truly understanding their current needs?
  • How do you market/practice outreach without looking opportunistic?
  • What are some examples of companies that are doing it well?
“As an event partner and participant, it has been a great experience working with Cushing. I’ve learned about search engine optimization best practices to grow my business. And being an event partner helped me create awareness around Apple Spice’s Feed it Forward outreach. Cushing is just an awesome team to work with!”

Feed it Forward with Apple Spice

After spending 20+ years practicing law and consulting, Imran Rahman found an opportunity for reinvention in Apple Spice Chicago. As owner and operator of the box lunch delivery and catering company, loyal corporate customers love the fresh bread, ingredients, and Imran’s personal touch.
