July 12, 2023: ASA Bonus Webinar: Attracting and Retaining Top Talent
Presenter: Rick White, President & Coach, 180BIZ

Chasing people doesn’t work, and placing help wanted ads doesn’t work anymore either. Today you need to excel at the 3 Cs — Compensation, Culture, and Conditions — to attract great people to your business and keep them there.
In this fast-paced webinar, we’re going to show you:
- The different compensation ideas that are attracting top talent
- What the word “culture” really means and how you can use it to keep your best people with you for years to come
- How to create the conditions that set you apart and make you the easy choice
- And what’s holding you back from making these changes and what to do about it
You’ll leave this webinar with the tools you need to hire and keep the best.
