</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>My Opinions</b>: Vinue opened in the late summer of 2011, right around when I moved to Denver ... coincidence? I think not! I am thrilled that this wine bar is here in Cherry Creek. It is just what this neighborhood needs to stay classy-chic and modern. You can pick from almost 70 types of wines and champagnes, in 3 different pour sizes, from a lot of impressive wine dispensing machines. And, yes, they do offer a full bar complete with specialty cocktails. They also offer food from charcuterie platters, to tapas, and even dessert! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's always fun to introduce people to this venue, especially wine lovers, because they are like a kid in a candy store. I came here for a casual business meeting tonight, and the cushy lounge atmosphere relaxed everyone and encouraged great conversation.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The owners are fantastic - I can't wait to host an event here!</div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>My Opinions</b>: I had another great dinner here. I was glad to see that it was busy, even in the earlier part of the evening on a Monday. The crowd here is as eclectic as the food, which makes the vibe comfortable and energetic.<br />
<br />
I should mention that it is a bit expensive to dine here, but it's worth it. There are a lot of positive points about Panzano: they use local and organic ingredients as much as possible - their extensive gluten-free options taste great - they have a fantastic wine list - the service is formal and attentive - atmosphere is inviting and great for friends, business meetings and dates - they are conveniently located next to a parking lot - oh, and I've enjoyed almost everything I've eaten here. To be fair, one suggestion I have is to ease up on the use of olives.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I still haven't had time to try their daily happy hour between 2:30-6pm in their lounge, but I will! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">To Note: They have event space downstairs, but the 'wine room' is a bit contrived, the chairs and linen are outdated, and the ceilings are low. A thorough revamp should do the trick. </div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>My Opinions</b>: This is the best Vietnamese restaurant I have ever been to. The food is delicious!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This restaurant is tucked away in an unassuming location, so it's like a hidden gem even though they've won Aurora's Best of the Best 2010 Award. I was thrilled to find it on a hunt for a lunch spot ... now I eat here at least once a week. The seating in the restaurant is comfortable, you can order sake, beer and wine here, and the people who work at Golden Saigon are kind and efficient. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Other reasons why I like this restaurant, is because they only use fresh ingredients, which you can notice in the quality of the dishes, they are generous with their portions, and have reasonable prices (especially for their lunch specials). Don't forget to request a 'spicy' addition to any dish for heat-seekers. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<b>My Opinions</b>: Tonight, I stopped by for drink and snack at the bar. There was a decent crowd tonight, though I've seen better on a Thursday. This is one of the more pricey Cherry Creek neighborhood gems. The atmosphere and food here is their strength. The atmosphere is chic and spacious, and their food is very tasty. Their service could use some work on being attentive and polite, and I'd still like to see them do an overhaul on their wine list (especially by the glass), but I would still come here for a bite or take-out.<br />
<br />
To note: They have a Happy Hour menu during the week (only until 6pm), and the outside tables are a nice option that I want to try once it gets warmer.</div><br />

<b>My Opinions</b>: This is my favorite cigar bar in Denver (though I am eager to try <a href="http://www.delfriscos.com/denver-details.php" target="_blank">Del Frisco's</a> in Greenwood Village). I don't typically like mixing smoke and food, but they keep this place well ventilated, so it's acceptable for a bite when it's not too crowded. They use the <a href="http://www.brownpalace.com/dining/documents/ShipTavernDinner_new.pdf" target="_blank">Ship Tavern's Menu</a> which offers decent food with classic American menu options.<br />
<br />
I don't come here for the food though; I come here for the service, full bar, and very good cigar menu (they even sell a small selection of cigarettes). Yes, the cigars and wines are a bit over-priced, but the ambiance and staff are worth it. They work hard to make you feel welcomed,and unhurried. The cushy seats and plush couches are nice touches - plus, they have all the smoking accouterments you'd want to enjoy your smokey pleasure.<br />
<br />
Additional Note: You can access free wireless internet here. On occasion, I'll even come here to do work or host a business meeting - it's always a hit!<br />

<b>My Opinions</b>: This is a standout restaurant in the Streets at SouthGlenn that boasts great food, friendly and attentive staff, and a sleek interior. It doesn't hurt that there is a ton of parking just across the street, a huge movie theater for entertainment, and a daily happy hour from 3-6pm <i>and</i> from 9pm to close.<br />
<br />
They opened up their doors tonight to help benefit the wonderful non-profit I am the Chair of Board for, <a href="http://www.learningally.org/" target="_blank">Learning Ally (formerly RFB&D)</a>. For all tables that dined here on behalf of Learning Ally, Hodsons pledged to generously donate 25% of the proceeds to our organization. The owners even dined here tonight to show their personal support (what a classy touch!).<br />

<br />
<b>My Opinions</b>: Last time I was here, I had a bad dining experience. I was finally encouraged to give this place another try, and thankfully I had a much better experience. The food was still not great, but it didn't turn me off! I sat in the lounge section (to the left of the bar, pictured above), and it was quite nice. The seating was comfortable and the atmosphere was cozy. The staff was friendly and approachable, per usual. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The prices here are expensive for what you get, but I do like their spirits selection, and discovered that they are slightly better priced (I had the Oban) than their wine list.<br />
<br />
Happy Hour Deals: They have great specials like half off premium wines on Wednesdays, $3 Thursday Ladies Nights drinks, and more!</div><br />

<b>My Opinions</b>: I've been to this Larimer Sq. location a few times, and this evening was one of my best dinning experiences. The dinner special I had was delicious and the staff was extremely accommodating and attentive.<br />
<br />
This chain restaurant has been able to maintain a high-end boutique steak house feel in every location I've dined at. I've been impressed at the chain's consistent and reliable fresh quality food, excellent service, and impressive wine list. If you like you waiter, remember to get his/her name as you can request them for future seatings.<br />
<br />
Also, a nice insider tip: if you want something offered at a different Capital Grille (like caviar or particular bottle of champagne), you can call ahead of time and they will ship it to your restaurant’s location.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

HERE’S YOUR 1st STEP TO DOING IT</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">You’re a consultant, so all you have time for is staying focused on getting your work done and setting up your next consulting job because it’s a competitive environment out there … especially in this economy. I understand. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Well, as business development consultant, a quick and easy step I tell everyone to take is to create a database of all the people they've met, received an inquiry from, and worked with. Be sure to gather as much information as you can about them including at least one piece of contact information (i.e. phone number, email, mailing address). It takes very little time to set up a rolling database, and even less time to maintain, yet the payoff (if used right) can be huge.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you don’t feel comfortable asking for contact information, offer something to them in return like putting them on your monthly “insider tips” newsletter or mention that you occasionally send out exclusive discounts. Then, follow up. This sounds so obvious, but you would be surprised by how many people I have seen ignore this step. It doesn’t have to be a big time investment, nor do you have to use an expensive email provider – simply stay fresh in someone’s mind (it will bring in business).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I’ve gotten many responses from people who have been planning to contact me, or have been grappling with an issue that they "just realized" I would be able to help them with. They are usually relieved that I initiated a reconnection ... always happy to help!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Recap</b>:</div><ul><li>Collect contact information from everyone you meet and work with</li>
<li>Follow-up at least once </li>
<li>Communicate without being overwhelming (and not just when you need something from them)</li>
<li>Measure your CRM success (ideally you should keep a report of who you’ve reached out to, in what way you've contacted them, and how that has translated into business – referrals included)</li>

<b>My Opinions</b>: I was first impressed with the spacious bar/lounge, restaurant and additional private room. The super high ceilings, the airy feel, uplifting light wood tones, and interesting lighting. Once seated, I went from feeling intrigued to feeling a bit exposed and lonely - there was no one in the restaurant!<br />
<br />
I ordered and waited, and waited ... and waited for some dinner rolls. Then, I waited, and waited ,and waited for my salad. Then, it's repeat the same for my entree, coffee and dessert. I like a relaxing meal, but I didn't plan on it lasting 3 hours. The food was good, but skip the dessert (a bit dry) and coffee (a bit weak).<br />
<br />
The bar section is quite attractive (pictured above), so it'd be great for an after-work happy hour drink. Also, the space is accommodating for a large private cocktail function - just make sure the contract ensures it's staffed appropriately.</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>My Opinions</b>: We all know that I love the bubblies ... especially in the Rose family. Tonight, I quenched my thirst with their flight of 3 sparkling roses - the presentation was enticing ... my drinks set on a wrought iron spiral flute holder, and the pours all complimented each other.<br />
<br />
This place was packed, yet the bar service was still attentive and friendly - nice work! The crowd was an "interesting" mix of 70% classy, 25% tawdry, and 5% sloshed, but it wouldn't be a good Friday night without some amusement, right?! Also, the prices are quite fair, especially for their bottles, so I will be back to try some more flights, some more bottles, and maybe even something from their food menu.</div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>My Opinions</b>: I wasn't sure I would find a comparable lash company in Denver, but Aly Warren's Lash Envy office (near the Cherry Creek Mall) does great work. They use Xtreme Lashes and my stylist, Jacque, is able to artfully apply a significant amount of lashes to make my lash line look full and natural.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The office is located in an apartment building, this surprised me on my first visit because I was not advised, but once inside, Aly maintains a clean and calming environment for you to get your application done. The prices are fair and they even sell some great products like a natural lash stimulator formula, brow pencils and grooming tools. To note: I've been happy with the staying power these lashes have. I can go 4-5 weeks before another application, and they use a quick drying glue that reduces irritation.</div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Free consultations are commonplace these days. Not only does it allow the buyer to get to know you and your business, it allows you and your business to qualify the buyer.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">As a business development and marketing consultant, and special event planner, I certainly recommend hosting a free consultation to be sure that the inquiry is a desirable one, and that you are a good fit for the job. Free consultations should be a meeting to discover why the client is looking for help, identify the areas in need that you can specifically improve, and show the prospect that you have the abilities to resolve their problems. Free consultations should not be a platform to give the client solutions to their problems - never ever give away your secrets (not a one!).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Prospects will ask pointed questions – and that’s OK. Instead of getting overly secretive, focus the discussion on your deep understanding of the prospects concerns, promote your process, and refer to some of your previous cases that were successful because of your value-add. Be comfortable knowing that you probably aren’t going to answer all of the client’s questions in detail. Starting off with the terms of the meeting will help manage a buyer’s expectations of what will be discussed.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Throughout my experience, I’ve met many consultants in business development, marketing, hospitality, special events and weddings, concierge services, creative industries, and then some, who are frustrated by their conversion from free consultations to paying business. They tend to turn inward, and become insecure in their abilities. This reaction is dangerous because it can cause one to underprice themselves or even quit their business altogether.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Instead of doubting yourself and your services, focus on developing your sales techniques.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A free consultation is informational, but make it also be your soft/hard sell. A consultant has to position themselves as an expert in their field to people seeking out help, so take carry that assertion through to your closing and do the “ask”. It is not pushy or awkward to find out when the client would like to get started. It’s a good thing if you tell them what your next step is upon taking on a new client. At the very least, make sure you are speaking with the decision maker, and if not, find out who that will be.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Remember, your main objective is to qualify the prospective customer and turn them into an active client ... and their main goal is to find the best person to hire. If you recognize that it is not a good fit, save both parties time by politely ending the consultation and then guide them to someone who is better suited to service their needs. They will appreciate your honesty and help; who knows, you may get a referral (or two) from them - it's happened to me.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>My Opinions</b>: Though this places looks more upscale, I'd opt for the brother restaurant, <a href="http://www.tavernhg.com/" target="_blank">Wash Park Tavern</a>. The Wash Park Grille's bar section was surprisingly dingy/dive-like, but offered a good selection of libations, so I'd come back for a drink. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Upon getting seated outside, I had the chance to try some starters, and decided not to try anything more because the food was a turn off ... especially the baked brie, spinach and artichoke dip. The ingredients did not seem fresh, the flavors tasted off, and the dishes were not well prepared. On the upside, the staff is friendly and approachable. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The prices here are expensive, especially for what you get (including the wines by the glass and bottle list). I have heard this place is decent, so perhaps I just caught the chef on a bad night. We shall see!</div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>My Opinions</b>: The bar scene is quite fun (even after all these months) and boasts an interesting mix of well-dressed local professionals, travelers, and socialites. <br />
<br />
The drinks are decent with a stocked bar of all the higher-end bottles, and the service is great if you sit at the bar, but expect to wait if you're at one of the lounge tables or couches. The food is tasty, and it's nice that you can order <a href="http://fleuririsee.blogspot.com/2010/02/market-restaurant-review.html">Market's restaurant</a> menu in addition to the bar bites.<br />
<br />
To note: the valet pricing has become more reasonable! Make sure you get your ticket validated if you eat here for a reduced price.</div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>MARKETING THROUGH EVENTS</b></span> </div><br />
Fleur Irisee is a consulting company that started off in business development for early-stage companies and has grown in a unique way – we now have an event management division. Though not always obvious, there is a strong synergy between marketing plans and event management, and through organizing social gatherings, corporate events and private parties, the demand grew and, in turn, grew the Company. - Kristin Kim<br />

</div><div style="color: #0b5394; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Go “all-in” when starting your business, but be sure not to take on more work than you can handle.</i></span></div><br />
<b>What do you love most about your business?</b><br />
I love getting people what they want and seeing my added-value pay off. I have met so many energetic entrepreneurs, top-notch vendors and successful New Englanders who have great vision and just need help executing it. Seeing the final product is so rewarding and seeing the client happy is invigorating!<br />
<br />
<b>What advice can you share with aspiring entrepreneurs?</b><br />
My advice is to go “all-in” when starting your business, but be sure not to take on more work than you can handle. I see a lot of self-starters over market themselves, over promise results, and under value their contracts. If you cannot handle the demand that your buzz generates, and deadlines are being missed, people will give you poor reviews and it is a quick start to a bad reputation. Also, if you do not price your work fairly (some simple competitive analysis can give you a good guideline) you may be sinking your own ship since you won’t be able to financially stay afloat as you gain traction.<br />
