 April 8, 1999 -- "Marketing and Billing Services for Consultants?"
An enthusiastic group of Consultant's Forum members met Thursday, April 8, 1999 to continue and elaborate on a discussion that was started on the email list (swanh-consultants@lists.mv.net). We wanted to examine the feasibility of creating a mechanism that would provide Marketing and/or Billing Services to Consultant's Forum members. This was an exploratory meeting with the goals of: 1- Defining what the needs of the members are; 2- Determining the practicality of bringing a Marketing and/or Billing Services mechanism into reality; 3- Determining if there are other entities which can serve the purpose

 January 28, 1999 -- "Marketing in Cyberspace"
The Consultant's Forum held a dynamic meeting on Thursday, January 28, 1999. Using a brainstorming/discussion mode, we explored the components of a good marketing strategy and how we can use Cyberspace to positively effect that strategy. We discussed the various approaches we've (each) taken for the purpose of improving upon those approaches and incorporating other ideas and methods into a more comprehensive Marketing Stratgegy for us.

 November 5, 1998 -- "Controlling the Selling Process"
As a consultant, are you satisfied with the amount of business your company has? Do you find yourself saying, "I could close more contracts, or make more money, if only I could _______(fill in the blank)"? How much do you estimate this issue has cost you? How much more could you have made? Chances are, many of the answers to your questions relate to a change in sales technique.
Members of the Consultant's Forum decided to contact a sales expert for guidance. We met on Thursday, November 5, 1998 at the Sandler Sales Institute in Manchester, NH. Our host and guest speaker was Kevin Hallenbeck, sales trainer and owner of the Sandler Sales Institute franchise. An engineer by training, Kevin was able to pinpoint many of the specific problems consultants face, and guide us with humor as we explored how we can control the selling process, instead of the Prospect controlling it.




NSS

NSS Corp. in Bedford, NH is the host of most of the Consultant's Forum meetings. The directions to their offices are as follows:
  • Take Route 93N past exit 5 in New Hampshire. At the 93-293 split, go to the left onto Route 293.
  • Follow Route 293 (also 101W) until you pass over the bridge on the Merrimack River.
  • Take Exit 3 (straight ahead) toward Route 101 West. (Do not exit right at 293N to Concord.)
  • Go past one exit for the Everett Turnpike. Exit right on Route 3. There will be blue "Convention Center" signs.
  • Stay to the left on the ramp (Macy's will be directly in front of you.) and turn left at the traffic light onto South River Road.

One Indian Head Plaza

We sometimes use the Conference Rooms on the 5th and 6th floors in this building.
  • One Indian Head Plaza is located in downtown Nashua, off of main street beside the Nashua Public. It is the rose colored high rise at the corner of Temple and Court.
  • From Route 3 take Exit 7 East (Amherst Street) and follow that into Nashua onto Main Street. As you head up Main Street, take a left onto Temple Street and One Indian Head Plaza is right in front of you.
