Be Sage is for experienced wedding professionals who are looking to expand their knowledge base into topics that go beyond the basics. These are some of the topics that will be covered at this year’s conference:

• What should I be doing to prepare for my personal financial future? What about 401ks, IRAs, etc?
• How can I protect my brand against defamation, bad reviews, crazy people, and gossip?
• How can I create a cash flow plan for my business?
• How can I build a team that will replicate my artistry?
• How can I license a service or franchise my company?
• How can I diversify my revenue streams?
• How can I market my business with the use of video, podcasts, and other new media?
• How can I improve my body language to maximize my sales?
• and so on and so on…

Created by Kelly Simants and Michelle Loretta of Sage Wedding Pros, Be Sage is a true meeting of the minds aimed at giving wedding professionals a deeper business knowledge with “hard-core, no fluff, solid business education.”
