Worthshop Series No. 2

Following the success of their inaugural May event at the Four Seasons Hualalai, Hawaii Life is hosting Worthshop #2 on August 30 at The Modern Honolulu in Waikiki. This installment will focus on establishing successful relationships with the affluent customer.

"We're motivated to make Worthshop #2 an even bigger success. Most everyone is interested in the affluent market, but few are able to develop effective business relationships with this caliber of clientele. Worthshop #2 will help professionals in various industries find and establish these relationships," says Matt Beall of Hawaii Life Real Estate Brokers.

While the event is designed for real estate brokers and agents, the public is welcome, and Hawaii Life is expecting people from related industries such as finance, design, architecture, etc. The keynote speaker at the Honolulu event is Michela O'Connor Abrams, President and CEO of Dwell Media Inc. Her talk, The New Face Of Affluence, will provide an in-depth look at how to successfully interact with affluent clientele.

The Worthshop Series started as a learning event for brokers and agents, but Hawaii Life quickly realized that many people are eager to understand what's going on in the affluend market segment, so they opened it up to the public. This event will be full of info, networking, and ideas.
