About this Event

WESOS Chicago Chapter Meeting Hosted by Fabiola Núñez


TOPIC: The Lucky No




Guests - Your first meeting is on us! If you are not a paid member of WESOS and this is your first time ever going to a WESOS meeting, select the non-member ticket and use promo code FIRSTTIMEFREE to get your first ticket free.


Join us on Thursday, February 26, at 6:30 pm, for a refreshing, relationship-first networking experience where authentic connection takes center stage and hear from our member speaker Michelle Smith.


No one likes being told “no”, especially in business. We’re often told not to take “no” for an answer, but sometimes being told “no” can be a blessing, even if it doesn’t appear that way. Join WESOS Visionary Coach Michelle Smith as she explains how being told “no” can be good for business. She’ll go over all the reasons you should count your lucky stars the next time someone tells you “no”. Additionally, she'll share tips on working with your warm market where you're likely to hear "no" less often.



Keytakeaways:

-A new outlook on hearing "no" in your business

-Tips on marketing to your warm market
