Please join Oweesta Corporation for their national Building Native Communities: Financial Coaching for Families training October 25-29, 2021, held virtually. This training is provided through the generosity of the Wells Fargo Foundation.

Support your clients to focus on strengthening their financial mindset and behavior so that they are better able to reach their financial goals
Improve clients’ ability to absorb financial shock
Expand clients’ ability to find and evaluate the information needed to make financial decisions

This hands-on, interactive training, developed in partnership with Seven Sisters Community Development Group, will provide tools, resources, and an approach that will empower financial educators to engage in one-on-one coaching relationships with their clients. The training is designed to build on the skills and knowledge of the Building Native Communities: Financial Skills for Families curriculum and assumes practitioners have an understanding of personal financial concepts. The training is held over five days, and participants will receive a certificate of completion upon full attendance in training. They have limited spots available, and priority will be given to those who register first. Details on the meeting location and hotel accommodations will follow in an email with registration confirmation.

The key to generating revenue is having a specific and intentional plan to attract “right fit” clients and keep them moving through your sales pipeline. But what does that really mean, and how do you do it?
Guest speaker Nicole Wipp will lead you through the elements of a client “Value Journey”, what you should be doing at each step to maximize engagement and revenue, and help you clarify where opportunities lie in your business.
Topics include:

Discover the nine stages of the client Value Journey, and how each requires different thinking and marketing
Why developing a plan at each stage of the Value Journey will help your business maximize revenue, as well as save you time and money
Understanding the “Problem Before the Problem” – the problem the client thinks they have, not the one you know they have, and how it relates to your business development
Who is the client? It may not be who you think it is
Clarifying your value proposition so that you can attract “right fit” clients

Followed by 15 mins. Q&A- moderated by EWOC
