Join us an evening of fun and networking!
On May 14th TVCF will be hosting an evening of bocce at Campo di Bocce in Livermore. This is a super fun venue and will be an excellent opportunity for the Tri-Valley’s best consultants to come out and have a great time. If you’ve never played before, not to worry! It’s a ton of fun, easy to learn, and doesn’t require any particular athletic ability. Bring your can-do attitude and you’ll be ready to go!
Even though this will be a lot of fun, you know the Tri-Valley Consultants Forum means business, so this will also be an excellent opportunity to network with some of the other top consultants in the area. Be sure to bring those business cards and get ready to make some great new contacts.

Managing data can either be a time consuming roadblock to efficient and effective decision making or a competitive advantage by providing roadsigns that can indicate what lies ahead. Successful emerging businesses use dashboards to improve decision making, manage costs and identify new business opportunities. This session will provide an overview to business owners and entrepreneurs on dashboards, business intelligence and key performance indicators. It will also focus on how to efficiently navigate through multi-dimensional data, and demonstrate how data visualization, aka Dashboards, is a powerful tool in making sense out of a “sea of data.”

As business becomes more global consultants are increasingly faced with building trusting relationships with decision-makers whose culture is different from their own. Unfortunately, in the first thirty seconds most untrained consultants will unintentionally insult a multicultural client at least three times. In this thought-provoking presentation from our guest speaker, you will learn how to avoid rapport-killing behaviors so you can close more deals with all your clients regardless of their culture.
Learn how a small shift in focus from getting to giving; in this case meaning constantly and consistently providing value to peoples’ lives, is not only a more fulfilling way to live life, but a very financially profitable way, as well.
Presented by Mark Anthony Germanos, Social Media Director at YourSEOWizard.com. Mark uses Internet tools to help your ideal customers find you, your products and your services.
