Shared Interest Groups (SIGs) are comprised of Chamber members with similar interests who meet to discuss trends, challenges, ideas and thoughts. SIGs give members the opportunity to learn, network and develop long-term, meaningful relationships in a casual setting that promotes conversation and camaraderie. SIGs will be formed without regard to geographical boundaries and will be guided by “conversation starters.”
This Sales/Business Development Shared Interest Group will discuss their biggest sales successes and failures. Participants will be able to learn from each other's experiences in a relaxed setting.
Conversation Starter: Cindy Houston Hazen of Sales Executives.
Speaker/Topic: Jim Holmes, Sandler Training-"Asking for the Order and Closing the Sale".
Don’t want to be overly aggressive, don’t want to make people mad, don’t want to run your friends off….but do need to close business? Need to increase your closing ratio, need to turn more prospects into clients, need to make more money….. but don’t want to look like a desperate sales person?
Learn assertive, respectful ways to ask for the business, to get people to ask you to do business with them, and to make higher commissions!
