When it comes to running an event planning business, many new entrepreneurs will take any business they can get. While it is important to have opportunities to work, the best way to generate recurring business is to work for the right people. In today’s episode, host May Yeo Silvers offers strategies that will help you attract the perfect customer.

Tune into this week’s episode of The Unstoppable Eventrepreneur™ to learn more about the importance of self-awareness, establishing relationships with vendors, and engaging in social media so you can position yourself to reach clients that will bring you the business that you love.
