Business Evaluation (VIRTUAL): 

Instructor: Giselle Ortega, Macro Construction 

This workshop is an opportunity to recognize how well you know your business. We will focus on evaluating the market, identifying room for innovation and new market opportunities, and creating short and long-term strategies. 

Perfecting Your Sales Conversations (IN PERSON): 

Instructor: Karen Baldeschwieler  and Mavis Chin, Zenagos LLC 

Closing customers is hard work. Closing them consistently is even harder. In this dynamic and interactive workshop, Perfecting Your Sales Conversations, you’ll learn 8 key steps in a successful sales conversation, and participants will practice these skills in breakout groups, using their own company as the case study. Improve your close rate and build your confidence by learning what each step is, why it’s important, and what your objective is with each step. Once you understand the goals for each step in the sales conversation, you will be able to better guide the conversation and move your prospect beyond the “interest” and “consideration” phases in your sales funnel and toward commitment. 

And Introducing: YOU; Confidence and Public Speaking (VIRTUAL): 

Instructor: Naeemah Elias, Elias Presence Ventures 

Leaders who communicate clearly and persuasively, in both formal and informal settings, are more likely to build trust, motivate their teams, and achieve their goals. But public speaking is widely recognized as the number one phobia, affecting 75% of individuals. Join us for “And Introducing: YOU,” an interactive workshop led by an award-winning actress. Receive personalized coaching, actionable strategies, and the essential “Costume of Confidence” to conquer public speaking fears and speak with authority.
