The University of Maryland's Maryland Technology Extension Service (MTES) invites you to a special event featuring TV personality and corporate growth guru Doug Hall, who will share a scientific method he developed over five years of front-line work with firms on how U.S. manufacturing companies can ignite the chain reaction of top-line growth and avoid the spiral of death. A former growth guru for Coca-Cola, American Express, AT&T, Nike, Procter & Gamble, Frito-Lay, and Walt Disney, Hall will show manufacturers how they can adopt these methods of growth, and discuss:

         Why Choices for Growth should be the goal of every small-to-midsized manufacturer

         How changing your sales message can increase effectiveness by 5x

         Why new customers and markets are almost 3x as valuable as loyalty-building.

         Why anticipating customers future needs is the key to new product success

         The 3 most important questions in customers minds when they evaluate your company

         Why classic brainstorming doesnt work with todays businesses

Don't miss Doug Hall's high-energy, data-packed presentation! Optional tours of University of Maryland laboratories supporting manufacturing will follow the presentation from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
