  • SFRT: Why Good Firms Lose Good Projects

    Please RSVP to Brad Russell via email by clicking the red “RSVP” button above and using the subject line “RSVP for November 13″ The presentation will begin promptly at 12:00 PM and conclude at 1:00 PM. ABOUT THE PROGRAM Most pursuits are decided long before the RFP arrives. Learn the three habits that separate the firms that win from the firms that were simply qualified. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Identify the three pre-RFP milestones that most influence a client’s decision — establishing the relationship, shaping the need, and positioning the firm — and recognize when they have already been missed. Apply a client-first interview approach that opens with the client’s goals, constraints, and definition of success rather than firm credentials, history and portfolio. Distinguish a “program-first” approach from a “problem-first” approach and articulate the client’s underlying problem in a single sentence before design work begins. Evaluate an in-progress pursuit against relationship timing, interview framing, and problem definition to find where it is exposed and set next steps before the next milestone is missed. 1.0 LU ABOUT THE PRESENTER With 30 years in architecture and interior design, Maryanne Hewitt has excelled in design, firm ownership, and business development. She understands what it takes to win work consistently, and shares practical strategies that help firms turn strong capabilities into won projects.

  • Take Five: Pitch + Social (November 2026)

    Take Five: Pitch + Social (November 2026)

    Free business networking event! Five entrepreneurs sign up to pitch, and the room connects them with resources, contacts, and support. Take Five Pitch + Social is a monthly business networking event where five entrepreneurs get the floor for five minutes each, then the whole room gets to work. Pitchers share what they do, what they are building, and what they need. Everyone else in the room shares back. Questions. Referrals. Resources. Named contacts. The pitches start the conversation. The room moves it forward. You will be in the same space as fellow business owners, community resource partners, Regions Bank, Prairie View A&M University Extension, and organizations positioned to help you find solutions, funding opportunities, skill-building support, and the information you need to grow. This is not a pitch competition. No judges. No scores. Just a platform, an audience, and a room built for connection. Take Five Pitch + Social is presented by Prairie View A&M University Extension and Regions Bank Fort Worth at their location on West 7th Street. After the pitches, the room opens for networking and light refreshments. Bring your business cards. Bring your one-liner. Bring at least one resource you can offer to someone else in the room. The event takes place on the 4th floor of the building. Parking is available in the parking garage. We WILL validate parking, so bring your ticket with you.

Your website and social media accounts tell your story, but what others say about your business also shapes your reputation.
