How to Make or Break the Deal – Sales Techniques for the Entrepreneur: Two-Part Workshop

October 6, 2021 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
$15
If you are in business…you are in sales. There’s more to entrepreneurship than just starting a business. You may be passionate about your new product or service, but unless you have hired a sales force to sell for you, it’s up to you to drive the business and make sales!
Whether you’re new at sales, or you’re a seasoned salesperson, there is a lot you can learn about selling. Adapting an entrepreneurial mindset can transform your sales approach, and help you exceed your sales goals. Although the definition of a sale is simple enough, the process of turning someone into a buyer can be very complex. It requires you to convince someone with a potential interest that there is something for them in making their interest concrete – something that merits spending some of their hard-earned money.
This two-part interactive workshop will give participants a fundamental sales process, plus some essential sales tools that they can use to seal the deal, no matter what the size of the sale.

 

*Participants must attend both sessions on 10.6 and 10.13 of this workshop . 
**There is a $15.00 flat fee for this two-part workshop.
