September Meeting
Leveraging Your Strengths and Creating a Sales Roadmap to Success
Join ISES-NCC for our first meeting of the ISES calendar year for valuable insight into the sales process and how to play to your personal strengths.
With technological advances, selling is recognized more as a science than an art. The selling process is definable, predictable and sustainable. Insights are provided into the specific knowledge your organization needs to consistently achieve better top and bottom line results. There is a method to know to whom you are selling and how to best articulate market differentiators and added value.
Following Rich Sweeney's session, put your newly improved skills to use as you enjoy lunch in the incredible open art studio.
