Webinar Template for BPs

The NCA team & I have decided to run a webinar series that will focus on best practices in the New Client Acquisition (NCA) & Small and Medium Business (SMB) spaces. We have gotten feedback from the BPs that they want to work and grow in these spaces but would like more enablement/help. This webinar is here to be the first step to assist them in success in these spaces.

Attached above is a word document that will be the template for an email to your respective BPs. Webinars are held once a month, on the second Thursday of each month, 12:00pm - 12:45pm ET, through March 13, 2025. Each month will be focusing on a different brand, starting with Data & AI.
