Selling Techniques for Small Business
Saturday, November 18 | 10 AM - 1 PM
You may have heard the saying, "Business doesn't happen until something gets sold." Whether you're a sales professional or a machine operator, it never hurts to brush up on your sales skills. 
If your knees knock at the prospect of making sales calls and you have potential clients you need to see, spend a few hours at our November small business seminar. You’ll learn how to get the appointment, make a plan for your sales call and how to avoid the deadly mistakes salespeople often make. We’ll also talk about using a SWOT analysis of you and your competitors and how to optimize leads. Discover why objections can be your best friend and gain some proven closing techniques. 
This seminar is free with thanks to a generous donation from the Friends of the Longview Library. All seminar attendees may later receive free, confidential SCORE mentoring to help you personalize your Sales process. 
To register, call the Longview Public Library at 360-442-5300. You can learn more about the upcoming seminars and our Small Business Resource Center by visiting our page at www.longviewlibrary.org.
