Wednesday, October 17 | 9:00am - 12:00pm

Whether your business exists in physical space, is exclusively e-commerce, or is a hybrid of both, you’ll find out here precisely how to serve today’s new breed of customers–in a way that brings you true loyalty and an enhanced bottom line now that the world of commerce has changed.

Cutting edge #1 bestselling author, hands-on entrepreneur, and renowned thought leader Micah Solomon explains brilliantly—and often humorously—how to engage with, sell to, and serve today’s digitally informed customers, a challenge requiring intimate knowledge of today’s technological and communications reality married to the timeless secrets of extraordinary customer service.
