The Mentoring Program kicks off 2006 with our first event with ipac Financial Planning:
BUSINESS EXPANSION VIA PERSONAL GROWTH
The Art of Growing your Business
Thursday, January 19th

Businesses do not develop on their own. Businesspeople need to be able to generate new leads instead of relying on current clientele lists for business expansion. The need for professionals to grow with their business is the aim of this talk.

People skills are critical for business development and the Mentoring Program is proud to present a workshop with Mr. Paul Stefansson, Regional Director, Corporate Relations, ipac Financial Planning, Asia. To kick off 2006, we are delighted to have ipac Financial Planning as our first event sponsor.

Whether you are a CEO, an employee, business owner, or entrepreneur, promoting your company or yourself is key to attracting new clients. Selling derives easily from effective marketing of self and your company’s products and services. The ability to influence, negotiate and persuade takes personalities and skills, both of which are perfectible and attainable.

Paul Stefansson will share with us practical tips and strategies on generating business leads through:

• Self-marketing (including getting free media attention)
• Networking
• Great Client Service
• Building Solid Client Relationships

Speaker - Paul Stefansson has 20+ years of financial services experience and is a prolific speaker. Paul frequently presents throughout Asia and has spoken at the Law Society of Singapore, the Hong Kong Law Society, Canadian Chamber of Commerce, Asia Pacific Financial Planning Conference, Global Financial Planning Conference (Malaysia) and the International CFP Forum (Taiwan). Paul is currently serving the FPAS (Financial Planning Association of Singapore) as President.
