"I Can Sell? Essentials about the Sales Process for EVERYONE"
Presenter
Tim Cyr
President Growth Strategies
Growth Strategies helps businesses grow by improving the sales process.
This discussion, focusing on the non-sales professional, will illuminate the sales process that 
everyone needs to know and practice in order to sell their ideas and services. Sales is likely the most essential of business processes and yet is also frequently misunderstood, misinterpreted, and even feared.
This round table discussion will focus on practical hands-on methods for improving the likelihood for a successful outcome in your next meeting with a prospect, brainstorm methods for improving your own personal process, and explore sales as a craft that anyone can learn but that demands constant improvement. Tim's email is timcyr@gmail.com.
