It would be unusual to use the 2-Page Business Plan with a non-client. Perhaps it might be used when vetting a potential Subject Matter Expert to help them understand the business you are building and their role in helping you serve your clients. Or perhaps it could be useful to review it periodically with your team so they are clear about your goal for building an Ideal Client Community and their role in that.

Would you attend this event? 2. If you did, would you attend it exclusively to complete Self-Referral Conversations™? 3. The invitation mentioned renting a booth to showcase your business – what is your take on this? I was thinking of going to the Trade Show for the purpose of conducting Self-Referral Conversations™ with business people. I am not sure, however, about the idea of having a booth at an event like this.
