The Advanced Growth Business Track is for freelancers and micro agencies (services & products) that have already been in business a few years are the primary target. This format allows attendees to ask and submit questions, of seasoned experts in their field, before and during the Business Track.

“If you’re already running a business that leverages WordPress, and have always wanted but could never afford a business consultant’s time, come ask your questions”

Wow, what a ride it’s been so far, you have been running your Product or Service WordPress based business for a couple of years, you have a client base, a general handle on the basics of your business, you have sales, and have a set of contractors or even a small team of employees and you are delivering value to customers. Sounds like you’re on track, good job!

Now, how do you get to the next stage in growing your business? Does it look the same to grow the next 50% the way you got here? Even if you have a slow and steady approach to growth, does your 3-5 year plan take into account how growth is never linear? What if tomorrow you had a new opportunity to get into a new product, or double your service agency’s revenue?

On Sunday Morning March 17th, WordCamp Miami is proud to build on the success of the last few years in bringing WordPress Community relevant business curriculum to our Community.   

The Advanced Growth Business Track will be Hosted by Karim Marucchi & Rian Kinney who brought you last year’s “WCMIA 2018 (micro)MBA course”. Karim and Rian will lead an audience-interactive conversational session with industry-leading experts, in their respective fields, to assist you in growing your WP business.

We’ve assembled proven experts in the areas of sales growth, scaled customer management operational growth, pricing, vendor, contract negotiation, and team growth strategies to donate their time to share their wealth of knowledge and though stories of how they grew and made years worth of mistakes. This will be a guided, best practices for growth panel talk with  moderated audience Q&A with well known and respected leaders Chris Lema of Liquid Web, Colin Dowling of Raincloud, Pat Ramsey of Crowd Favorite, Rian Kinney of The Kinney Firm and eCommLegal and Karim Marucchi of Crowd Favorite & ZenFounder.
