NJ Consultants' Network:

Clients First:  Identifying and Focusing on Solving their Pain

On Thursday, March 29, 2007, the IEEE Consultants' Network of Northern NJ is pleased to present ”Clients First:  Identifying and Focusing on Solving their Pain”, by Ed McCauley.

About the Talk

Pain & pleasure, in the past, present, and in the future, are fundamental motives that cause people to act.

For 18 years, Bottom Line Technologies Inc has worked with business owners and senior executives:

·            Challenged to meet aggressive, sometimes nightmare schedules.

·            Struggling with technologies they lack the experience to effectively manage.

·            Frustrated by a lack of resources to achieve their goals.

·            Risking lost market share, lost contracts, customers, or worse should they fail.

Do these folks sound like they’re in PAIN?  You bet they are!
