The Men's Breakfast Club Is Back!!
   

The Bedford Chamber Men's Breakfast Club has been recognized as a progressive and focused network of men who come together to form connections, share ideas, learn valuable strategies, celebrate camaraderie and stand together to mentor, advance and support professional men in the greater Bedford area. The format is simple -  greet, eat and meet a local successful businessman and hear his "story". 

 

Rich McDonough of Coldwell Banker will be leading the group as it  kicks off on Wednesday, May 14th at Brightview Concord River.  Breakfast will be served at 7:30 AM and the group will wrap up 9:00 AM.   


May's Speaker is Dr. Dave Spencer, Spencer founded wTe Corporation in 1981 and served as its CEO for 27 years, now serving as Chairman of the Board. wTe is a $75-100 Million privately held technology company focusing on recycling of metals and plastics. Prior to forming wTe, he was a co-founder of Raytheon Corporation's Resource Recovery Business, where from 1971-1981 he managed the development and operation of large 1000-2000 ton per day re
source recovery and recycling technologies producing energy and recovering materials from municipal solid waste and sewage sludge. 


Dr. Spencer was nominated for Entrepreneur of the Year by Arthur Young and Venture Magazine in 1988 and was selected as a Finalist for Entrepreneur of the Year in 1990 by Ernst & Young, Inc. Magazine and Merrill Lynch. He served on the editorial board of Elsevier Press' Journal of Solid Waste Management and authored over 60 technical papers including the Recycling Chapters of McGraw-Hill's award-winning Handbook of Solid Waste Management.  He has a great story and is looking forward to sharing it with you!

                          Why Features and Benefits don't sell and What Does!

 

Greg Nanigian is a sales and sales management trainer and writer. For charity he races a NASCAR Prostock. He's operated Sandler Training in Massachusetts since 1987.

 

His highly interactive, fun and educational talk will address selling challenges including price objections and "think it overs"! You will discover specific wholesale changes to improve your closing ratio.   You will also learn specific approaches and a process for qualifying faster. You'll learn that whoever is talking more in a selling situation is the person who is not in control. You'll learn seven systematic steps to sell and sell more easily. You'll learn how to build credibility without "spilling your candy in the lobby"; in other words how to build credibility without doing lots of free consulting.   You'll be impressed, you'll laugh and you'll learn how to make more money!

 

Greg Nanigian and Associates has trained Rodman Insurance, TOG Manufacturing, The Computer Merchant Staffing, New York Life Insurance, Bulbs.com, Grace Construction Products, RAID Software, Premier Fence, Cardi's Furniture, Lehman Millet Advertising, RPC Packaging, Sovereign Bank, Emerson Electric Industrial, Barber Foods, H.T. Berry Janitorial Supplies, Robert Reiser Company Manufacturing and thousands more. Greg has led many programs for professional associations including the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the International Health/Raquetsports Association. Come learn, network, enjoy and go to the bank more often as a result of this training! We are thrilled to have Greg back by overwhelming demand now for the third year in arow. There was standing room only last time so arrive early!
