SUMMARY:Adelaide Business Hub: Get Found\, Get Chosen\, Get Paid
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Adelaide Business Hub\, Regional Development Australia Adelaide Hills\, Fleurieu and Kangaroo Island\, Business Victor Harbor\, and The Australian Government Digital Solutions program. \nFacilitated by Steve Davis\, Talked About Marketing. \nMost businesses don’t have a marketing problem. They have a clarity\, pathway\, and follow-up problem. \nPeople can probably already find you. The real question is whether they quickly understand why they should choose you\, and whether buying\, booking\, or enquiring is easy once they do. \nThis hands-on session walks through the five stages that actually put more money in the till: \n\nChoosing the right customer\nClarifying your message\nBeing found (including in AI search)\nConverting attention into sales\nTurning one customer into the next\n\nEvery attendee leaves having reflected\, with someone else’s help\, on what truly makes their business worth choosing\, and pinned it down in plain words. \nAbout the facilitator \nSteve Davis is the co-founder of Talked About Marketing\, with 20 years in marketing communications and over 8\,000 small business conversations behind him. He brings an outside perspective to businesses too close to their own work to see it clearly\, grounded in practical frameworks\, not jargon. \n📅 Wednesday\, 28th October\n⏱️ 4.30pm – 7.00pm\n📍 Connect Victor | 138 Hindmarsh Rd\, Victor Harbor SA 5211\n💲 FREE
