Directories Deliveries
If you joined the White Bear Area Chamber to connect with other businesses, here is your chance to meet with the various business people who make up our membership by delivering the 2016 Chamber Directory to them.
Simply stop by the Chamber office (4751 Highway 61, WBL) this Friday, November 6, between 9am & 4pm to pick up White Bear Area Chamber Directories and deliver them to other members throughout the week. You can choose how many you would like to take – 4 or 24, it's up to you.
We've put them in groups according to location, so each group will have businesses that are close to each other. You won't need to travel too far to get them done. We would like to have the directories all delivered by the end of November, so if you can participate, please email Maureen or show up Friday morning.
We'll have the coffee and rolls ready!
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.
