12/1 What are the Pro's Secrets to Success 

Not every sales pro uses the same process. In this panel discussion, you will hear from 4 experts, sales reps & business owners, who are selling both products and services. They will discuss their sales tracking systems, how they are effective, how they market, how they track their sales, how they convert sales activities into engagements, closing rates, how they use their tracking systems for making decisions, and how they learn from their sales for future selling.


12/8 Open for Business

free program, and small-business resource for anyone starting a business or expanding their existing company.

As the holidays closes in on us, don't forget to take the time to focus on your business plans for 2017. Structuring a plan for 2017, will help give guidance on what you need to focus on come January. Once you have figured out what you really want to do, you still need a strategy for accomplishing it. Your goals are not going to get anywhere if you don't do the right things about them. So follow these simple steps when planning your goals, 1) Focus on 1-2 major goals. 2) Create monthly sub-goals. 3) Create weekly mini-goals. 4) Do weekly planning. 5) Do daily planning. 
You will accomplish more than you would under any other plan.  Good luck.
