Know Your Why & Become A Customer Magnet
Believe, Inspire, Grow (B.I.G.) Ridgefield will host the organization’s CEO & Founder, Tara Gilvar, at Sagi Cucina Italiana , 23 ½ Catoonah Street at noon on Wednesday, November 6th, 2013.
Ms. Gilvar will speak to the group on the topic of, “Know Your Why & Become a Customer Magnet.”
After gathering nearly 40 women from her town into her living room to discuss the pursuit of their business dreams one February morning, Tara realized, immediately, how the development of B.I.G. could provide better balance, more personal fulfillment and a sense of intellectual camaraderie that had been missing for most of her adult life. It is a concept that she has been driven to share with women around the country.
