Events


Normally ACE meets typically on the 3rd Friday of every month except August. The individual events may have special times but zoom meetings are usually 9:00 to 10:30.   Remember to check the event for specific times.  Guests are always welcome!

ACE monthly programs provide members and guests the opportunity to establish relationships through networking and to build working relationships with other professionals. Monthly program topics are selected as a means of strengthening the skills of members and increasing their awareness and knowledge of markets, business and social trends and professional disciplines that will enhance their particular fields. Speakers are sought that are both accomplished and offer a fresh perspective on a subject.

Workshops and seminars on business building skills and personal development are offered to members and to the business community. ACE also offers programs for the broader business community that brings together ACE professionals and experts from around the country.

Please review our Event Registration & Cancellation Policy.

    In this interactive session, you will be learning all about why and how to become known as an industry disruptor. You will learn the difference between marketing messaging and sales messaging and why both strategies are crucial to the success of your firm. You will learn the critical elements you need to develop a compelling sales message that sets you so far apart from your competition that they will be eliminated from consideration.

    Takeaways:

    • How to create compelling, values based messaging to disrupt the standards in your industry.
    • How to find and contact your ideal leads rather then hope that they find you
    • How to identify and optimize your ideal prospecting channels



    About Our Speaker:

Their Sales Accelerator program offers a concierge level "done for you" appointment setting service for industry disruptors. Appreciated Asset's team will reach out to your ideal prospects consultatively, educate them about your solution and set you up with new business appointments. Their Disruptor Designer method creates messaging that lights a fire in their client's sales pipelines not only separating them from the competition but simply eliminating it. With decades of experience, they are able to keep you client facing, grow your business and provide you all of the benefits of a cold calling campaign without any of the time or energy. Jennifer lives in Charleston, SC with her 9 year old son Max and loves to show other women, and specifically single moms how they can "redefine having it all".  linkedin.com/in/jennifer-levy-frye
