PRESENTATION

Chad will be giving a presentation on "The Art Of Persuasive Selling" - how to sell yourself, pitch clients, etc. without coming across as a sleazy sales person. Think "Selling For People Who Hate Selling".

Covers:

- Being focused on the customer, how to scope out their needs and pain points

- Positioning yourself as expert, trustworthy, educating customers rather than selling to them, playing the 'assisting/coach' role than being task worker

- Writing good sales copy

- Telling your story

- Social proof

And of course we'll discuss it in groups during the time afterwards!

PARKING

There is plenty of parking in the IMPARK parking lot next to the venue. Entrance to the parking lot is accessible off James Street S. as well as off Augusta Street beside The Pheasant Plucker (20 Augusta). It is $4 for the evening.
