We are in need of writers for the Chamber’s monthly newsletter. If you like to write, or if you want to have an educational piece in the Chamber newsletter, we can use your talents. When you attend events, we’d love to have you write about it. Martha Berns, Dempsey Design, does all the graphics for the newsletter. Joshua Nichols, Unbound Technology, is the editor. Mary Wynn Ryan, Winning Ways Marketing, does much of the editing. Diddy Blyth, A Sterling Design, takes most of the pictures. Thank you to a great newsletter crew! But we still need more! Also, the next one will be the last one to be mailed out which will save the Chamber more than $3,000 in postage costs.
Also, we haven’t had anyone sign up for our SCORE counseling sessions tomorrow from 9 to noon (hour long appointments). Email me if you want to discuss anything about your business – that’s what they’re here for.
How to Sell to Anyone!
We all have those difficult customers to whom we are required to sell. From the demanding, abrasive buyer to the individual who never seems to make a buying decision, we encounter challenging people on a regular basis. Part of the reason this happens is due to the disconnect we have because of conflicting personalities.
During this presentation, we will look at the four key types of people and how to increase your sales when selling to each person. Sharpen your sales skills and learn how to increase your sales ability!
