Looking forward to this one! Lani Basa asked me to moderate a discussion at The Business Women’s Circle Forum on business development, and I'll be joined by two of the best in the business: Luke Vestrum and Stacey Bartelson, CFP®, CEPA®, ChFC®.
The last 18 months have been some of the most intentional in how we've approached growth at Hiper Inc. My hope is to share what's actually working in a landscape that keeps shifting under us.
A few things driving our traction at Hiper that I'll bring to the conversation:
✔️ A strong technical presence. We invested in a new website built for AEO and discovery, not just aesthetics. Luke will be joining to talk through what they're seeing from the web development side, and why that foundation matters more than ever.
✔️ Strategic partnerships. As a niche agency, our clients trust us to bring together the right experts to execute at the highest levels. We're not generalists. We're better when we build real partnerships that help us think bigger and scale smarter.
✔️ Generosity, always. Time, experience, connections, introductions. This will always be core to who Hiper is and has paid off in more ways than I can count.
✔️ Maximizing industry events. Which is exactly why I asked Stacey to join us. She is a masterclass in hosting events and connecting people around growth, and I couldn't think of a better voice for this.
In an age of AI, a solid technical foundation is imperative, but the relationships are what carry you.
Join us July 20 at the American Swedish Institute, 8:30am to 3:30pm.
Ticket sales close July 9.
