Business Seminar & Networking Series - Selling & Business Development
2022-12-07 07:00 - 08:30 | The Maxx, 94 Railroad Street, New Milford, CT, 06776
Network with us at our fourth business seminar as Western CT SCORE presents Selling & Business Development.

People like to buy but they hate to be sold. A salesperson’s job, therefore, is not to sell but to teach, coach, and assist a prospect to understand why and how your product or service will solve their problem or improve their lives. The goal is to help someone buy.
Come learn some of the techniques.

The Business Seminar & Networking Series is presented by the Corporation for New Milford Economic Development, Greater New Milford Chamber of Commerce, New Milford Public Library, and Western CT SCORE and will be held at The Maxx until the library opens.
Lunch will be provided. Register by 12-5-2022, https://conta.cc/3CI7TCq.
