    Salesmanship for Business Owners

    Successful salespeople are vital to the funding of every other part of a business. Without their success, no other department can fulfill its role. Speaker Tim Dannelly believes selling is an art mastered by those who learn and put into practice certain principles. His presentation is based on his book, "Selling the American Dream."

    From the fundamentals of selling to the secrets of effectively planning sales calls, Dannelly will teach techniques that have worked for generations of successful sales professionals. This seminar will take place on Thursday, July 13 from 6-9 p.m.

    How to Start a Non-Profit Business

    Communities are expressing tremendous interest in forming non-profit businesses. They should carefully consider this quest and pay attention to taking the proper steps. Failure to do so could result in serious consequences for individuals and damage the mission of the non-profit.

    Participants will discover the basics of non-profit businesses, refine the definition of a non-profit and consider issues to before starting a non-profit. They will learn key steps to forming a non-profit, forms and documents that need to file and important first steps for a board to take. They will consider whether they can manage the process without an attorney. Sam Gore will lead this seminar on Monday July 24 from 6-9 p.m.
