Join SEG for our FREE workshop, "Unlock Your Market: Find Your Right Customers," as part of SEG's GROW Woonsocket Initiative. Guests will learn how to define their audience personas and go beyond the sales-speak to write marketing messaging that sounds like an ideal client’s inner monologue.

The workshop will take place on April 17th from 6PM - 8PM at the Woonsocket Education Center.
