Who's Running Your
Office?
Nancy McGraw has
been Scott Friedman's assistant for 18
years. (I know-AMAZING isn't it? How
DOES she do it?) Aside from being an
expert in running a successful speaker
business and being an experienced belly
dancer, Nancy is the biggest fan and concert
promoter for her son, Dave,
(www.myspace.com/davemcgraw) who
just happens to be playing at the Walnut
Room Oct. 4, so Nancy says "Come!" She
has gathered a "special" panel of experts to
show us the BEST PRACTICES in:
v Office phone systems and standards
v Product shipment tips and secrets
v Direct-mail -how are you staying in touch?
v Logistical magic: flights, transportation, handouts,
needs, delays, and so much more
v Marketing and sales tips for our industry
Whether you are looking to bring on an
in-office assistant, a virtual assistant or
you just need the tips for "assisting
yourself," this session will bring valuable
tips and answers for making our business
easier to manage.

Wise Cracks!
"People will accept your idea much more
readily if you tell them Benjamin Franklin
said it first." ~ David Comins
"It's hard to know just where one generation
ends and the next one begins, but it's
somewhere around 9:00 P.M."
