April 27, 2009 – VTE Spring Forward Networking Event
|
Velocity Trade Exchange is working to create a culture within the Triad business community where businesses are thriving through collaboration, cooperation and teamwork. Velocity owner, Cathi Vogel launched this concept on April 27, 2009 at Solaris Restaurant with a new twist on networking.
Attendees were asked to provide prospect target categories when they registered. After time for open networking, attendees were grouped together with other companies that share those same targets. After providing ideas of ways that companies might partner, the groups spent time getting to know each other and exploring ways in which they might work together for their mutual benefit. Attendees requested that we hold a similar event in a future networking event. Click Here to learn more about the event and for examples of this collaborative sales approach.

VTE and Leapfrog Marketing – Maximizing your Marketing Impact Event Monday, September 22, 2008 at Bistro Sofia Restaurant
|
Velocity Trade Exchange and Leapfrog Marketing conducted a cooperative networking event / workshop to help Triad businesses identify the most cost-effective ways to market their businesses. Jordan Bressler’s presentation included considerations businesses should make as they plan their marketing strategies, as well as numerous venues that businesses can leverage for marketing purposes, often for free.
Participants then worked collaboratively in groups to design a strategic marketing plan for a hypothetical company, addressing specific marketing challenges provided in each scenario. Each group presented their plans and reasons for choosing their selected tactics. Attendees indicated that they picked up a variety of ideas that they’d never thought of implementing before.
