Embracing the spirit of giving, four local business consultants have banded

together to offer a gift to the local small business community: a free seminar

highlighting less expensive and more effective ways to market their businesses.

Combine one accountant, one desktop publisher, one organizational consultant

and one extreme marketer. Add a pinch of frugality and a cup of creativity.

Shake vigorously. Watch your profits grow.

The concept began to evolve a few months ago when Steve Vernon and Art Smith

were collaborating on a marketing presentation for a local restaurateur.

The thought occurred to them that, by forging an alliance,

they would individually and collectively benefit while

providing the client with a more well-rounded plan of action.

Discussing the idea with local consultants Belle Fobare and Sandy Braddock,

the venture took on a life all its own.

After many hours of library and internet research, numerous lunches with local

business leaders, a seemingly endless stream of emails and a

handful of meetings at the Centre Club, the concept was boiled down

to a simple idea: form an association dedicated to educating local businesses

and organizations, fostering their formation, growth and success.

The result: TeamThinkTank.

Through a series of seminars and forums, as well as a website replete

with valuable resources, the group hopes to help local businesses

weather the current economic storm and thrive through creativity,

innovation and sound business practices.

The forums will focus on the successful marketing and operational strategies

of well-known companies and organizations, as well as case studies of

smaller „mom and pop‟ operations in the local area, followed by a question and

answer segment and a brainstorming session. Guest speakers will frequently be

featured to enhance the value of the program.

TeamThinkTank will provide these seminars at no charge

to local business and organizational leaders.

our mission

TEAM THINK TANK

is a nonprofit association

dedicated to educating businesses and organizations,

and to fostering their formation, growth and success.

Page 6: team think tank brochure

Most big businesses started out being small.

But they didn’t start out thinking small.

Thinking big is how they got where they are today. And that’s how

you can bring your business to the next level. All it takes is some un-

biased analysis, a little elbow grease and a lot of creative thinking.

That’s where I come in.

I can help guide you through the marketing maze

and help you reach the pinnacle of your success.
