The live session will be limited to a max of 100 participants, however the on-demand version will be available within 24 hours of the live session.

    We've all heard the new term "Social Distancing" and have felt the impact on our businesses.  With more of us (as well as our clients) working from home, it's become even harder to remain connected to our clients. In this webinar, Bill McCormick of Social Sales Link will talk about how we can stay socially connected (while practicing physical distancing!) with the power of LinkedIn! We'll take a look how to 'socially surround' our clients and prospects, how to engage with your existing relationships: clients, referral partners, prospects and COI's (centers of influence), and finally why a value-centric profile is so important in the current situation we find ourselves in.

    In 2013, Sara built InTandem Promotions. In her words, “Ever since I can remember, I have been a juggler. Juggling activities, career, family, friends and volunteering. I have learned through all of this juggling that I can do it myself. But it's far easier (not to mention more fun) to juggle with a partner.” And it was on that premise that the InTandem Promotions brand was created.     In owning InTandem, Sara has built not only a personal brand but also the brand of her organization. She is looking forward to sharing her experiences in developing as well as continually building the InTandem Brand Story.

Join Adara Bowen, director of brand experience for the American Marketing Association, to understand the breadth of customer experience, develop a journey map from the perspective of the customer, and identify opportunities for an improved customer experience and touch points for promotional products.

    Sara Webb

    Owner - InTandem Promotions

    Sara Webb has more than 20 years of industry experience. With previous experiences as a buyer in a completely different industry, she became hooked on promotional products and its possibilities for branding organizations. In 1999, Sara began working in the promotional product industry where her true love for this industry flourished. 

    In 2013, Sara built InTandem Promotions. In her words, “Ever since I can remember, I have been a juggler. Juggling activities, career, family, friends and volunteering. I have learned through all of this juggling that I can do it myself. But it's far easier (not to mention more fun) to juggle with a partner.” And it was on that premise that the InTandem Promotions brand was created.     In owning InTandem, Sara has built not only a personal brand but also the brand of her organization. She is looking forward to sharing her experiences in developing as well as continually building the InTandem Brand Story.
