Take Your Business To The Next Level
Based on positive participant feedback, ChicagoMSDC is offering this no-cost, strategic webinar series for businesses of all sizes to enhance their customer base and marketing initiatives. Facilitated by EX3 Labs (MBE Certified and doing business on a national level), participants will examine customer experiences through new lenses each week for immediate implementation. The networking mixer helps bring it all together at EX3 Labs’ digital suite (hybrid) with light fare for in-person participants. Registration is required for each session. Attending all four sessions will give participants the opportunity to win a free consultation with EX3 Labs! Checkout the video to hear directly from participants about the knowledge gained.
