Judge Judy Sheindlin once said, “Number one – and I want you to emblaze this on your brain – you only have one chance to make a first impression.” In today’s digital age, your first impression is online through a website, LinkedIn, or social media. That first impression is incredibly important to build a strong foundation for your connection with potential clients.
Chamber members earn $25 off their session investment. (Session base rate is $140).
