Webinar: Show Me the Money - Part II
2020-03-05 13:00 - 14:00 | Ontario
Register Now!
In this webinar we continue our theme on how to generate prosperity in the image industry.
Our guest expert will be Brenda Kinsel, best-selling author, international image guru, and one of our best friends!

The Money Talk: How to Confidently Charge for Your Services
M-o-n-e-y – there’s hardly a more nerve-wracking topic. In general, it’s a very taboo and often uncomfortable subject to talk about. It brings up issues of self-worth and questions about value. Professionally, it’s further complicated for us by the fact that our industry isn’t readily recognized. Our first hurdle is getting people to understand what we do as image consultants. Then we have to have that uncomfortable conversation about how we charge for those services. It can be the biggest stumbling block to getting new business when we’re not clear about our pricing.
It’s time to put it all out on the table for a no-holds barred discussion on fees, pricing, when to charge, when not to, and how to have the money conversation with your client while feeling comfortable and confident. Yes, it’s possible! In fact, it’s essential if you want to make the living you deserve.
Brenda’s Awesomeness:
A best selling author on fashion and style, Brenda’s book titles have been translated in other languages and enjoyed internationally. Her tips and expertise have been featured in magazines such as In Style, Real Simple and Tara, Sweden’s leading magazine for women over 40. Brenda has appeared nationally on radio and television, most notably on The Oprah Winfrey Show and on NPR. She makes a weekly appearance on the syndicated radio show, The Richard Stevens Show. Brenda is also a sought after speaker who has given presentations across the United States.

What If I’m Not Able to Attend?
That’s okay! It will be recorded! But you will only have access to the recording of you register prior to the webinar.

Nicki Chang-Powless is a speaker and the Amazon Bestselling Author of “Putting the Pieces Together: Your Survival Guide to the First Five Years in Business”. When she realized her 23 years of corporate experience was not common knowledge among small businesses, and over 50% of companies don’t make it to 5 years, it became her mission to improve these numbers.
Her programs have made such an impact on the small business community that she was the recipient of 2018 Best New Business Venture award at the SuPEARLative Awards and 2019 Entrepreneur of the Year at the Business from the Heart Awards.
Today, Nicki and her team of Business Strategists help business owners get clarity, direction and results.
Testimonial #1
“In the past, my company has brought in multiple marketing trainers to help us create value propositions, and I have probably sat down at least 20 times in the past to try and create one. Nicki’s program is by far the easiest and best process I have experienced. In under two hours, I completed the module, created my pitch and completed the value proposition with the help of her 5-step process.” ~ Robin Oxley, IG Wealth
Testimonial #2
I have started a new B2C venture and was looking for some solid info/assistance, particularly regarding sales, as the bulk of my experience as a corporate exec and entrepreneur is in the B2B world. So I was pleased to hear about Nicki’s seminars. I have now done two of Nicki’s workshops – ‘Successful Sales Strategies’ and ‘Pitch Perfect.’ Her knowledge and presentation are excellent. The information is well organized and clearly reflects the strength of her business background. She has been in the trenches and knows what she is talking about. The particularly beneficial aspect of her seminars is the opportunity to do individual problem solving with each of the participants so each recipient receives the benefit not only of Nicki’s expertise but the ideas and experience of the other participants. Nicki’s seminars are rich in content and practical to apply. I look forward to her next session – ‘Marketing Madness.’ ~ Donna Neumann, annie&FREDERICK Inc.
Testimonial #3
“NCP customized my program and made it so easy for my assistant to operate. So easy in fact, I could do that part myself. I should not have assumed it would be difficult! This is a business analysis tool which is easy to use and has changed my business forever!! I highly recommend NCP!” ~ Elaine Zeer, Financial Advisor
