Nice hat, Dan!
BUILDING CONNECTIONS
What a success we had in New Orleans last week at the Annual APMP Bid & Proposal Conference! Dan Marsh, Len Miller, Mark Beha, Pauline Malazarte, Josh Thiel, Chris Placzek, Angela Marsh, and Danny Murawinski showed up in force all over the event to spread the word of Hinz Consulting. We had folks with their hands in all kinds of activities. Here are some highlights:
Captured nearly 150 qualified leads - 10% of attendees
Nurtured over 20 key client relationships with high-quality interactions
Formed new relationships with potential strategic partners
Introduced a mentor program for the Military & Veterans Affinity Group
Recruited speakers for a new Veterans Speaker Series
Sponsored the popular Productivity Room and shared Hinz Oreo cookies
Hosted the NCA Chapter Happy Hour for nearly 100 local members
Len Miller and Josh Thiel gave well received presentations
Chris Placzek & Angela Marsh successfully passed the Foundation Level Certification to earn the CF-APMP designation
Dan Marsh took the stage at the closing ceremonies in front of 1000+ attendees for our prize giveaway - in a big blue hat of course!
A lot of our success can be attributed to the ongoing work we all do every day for our clients, with our consultants, and in the industry. People in the field talk about us as being good people with a great culture. We are known for our character, big laughs, and follow through. It is an honor to represent an organization with such a good reputation. Thank you!
