Professional Development Seminar

Let’s Make a (Better) Deal
by Mr. Bill Hellkamp with Reach Development Systems

Thursday, November 5, 2015

As a high stakes business deal comes to its culmination the pressure increases and both parties are looking for an edge. How will you perform in this crucial situation? Will you be able to negotiate an agreement that will be fair and profitable or will you put your organization in a difficult situation for years to come? One reason for negotiating ineffectively is that you feel without power or lacking in confidence. During this presentation we will help you discover your negotiating power and show you how to make the most of it.

Purses can be dropped off at the Chamber office or contact Maureen at 651-429-8593 to arrange for pickup.
