One of the stickiest things you can do for marketing and retention in your business… host events. We’ve been doing this for our community over the last 12-ish years, and we feel like we’ve finally (sorta) cracked the code.

Our Senior Community Manager at Dynamite Circle, Alex Harling, walks us through the guiding principles for hosting a 10/10 event. Apply these to your next sales call, group onboarding session, webinar, or in-person event.
