Whether you want to motivate your team and partners, launch a new initiative, conduct a customer advisory event, or an executive brainstorming session or get your customers thinking about new ways to look at their businesses, New Business Strategies can help energize, educate and take your audience ‘outside the box’. Packed with real world case studies, we will have your audience laughing, leave refreshed and ready to act.

“The feedback was hugely positive. In fact, everyone kept referring back to points Christine Crandell made for the rest of the meeting, and when we adjourned for cocktails the main discussion was around her list of things companies do to erode trust.”
– John Ragsdale, Vice President Technology Research, TSIA

New Business Strategies speaks on four topics: How to disrupt markets, uncovering customer expectations, B2B customer experience, and strategic planning for times of uncertainty and how to prepare for the future.

 

Christine Crandell is a professionally trained, sought-after expert who combines thought-provoking discussion with practical advice and real-life case examples. She will inspire and entertain, while at the same time is eminently approachable.

 

 

 

 

“Christine’s presentation Wowed everyone and several people asked if she would be presenting again at the next one.”

– Conference Chair, Marketing Operations & Technology Summit 

 

 

 

Every speech is on current business topics in 30, 45 and 60 minutes length in on-stage and round-table formats including CAB/CACs, client events, off-sites/retreats, conference keynotes and lectures.
