| BCC Seminar- How to Keep Making Money |
| While Others Can't. Most Sales Professionals feel the easiest way to increase sales is to lower the price! Of course, that usually means lower profit and lower commission. So you work even harder serving a greater number of customers and making less money. On the other hand, returning to the basics usually nets higher gross profit and more closed sales. Perhaps that explains why successful Sales Professionals have returned to these principals year after year! Tim Dannelly, author of “Selling The American Dream”, believes the American Buyer willingly pays more for a product they know and trust, even during hard times or off-seasons!! Invest an afternoon with him and learn some of the proven ways great Salespeople go about building a loyal customer base. Find ways to generate new sales while retaining your loyal customers. You’ll learn: 1) How to Outshine The Competition. 2)Advantages Of Pre-Planned Selling 3) Who Has The Money And How To Get It 4)Ways To Make More Money. Presenter: Tim Dannelly.

| To Kill a Mockingbird |
| Harper Lee's Pulitzer-Prize winning novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, now celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of its publication, was brought to the screen in an Academy Award-winning adaptation by Horton Foote in 1962 and was later adapted to the stage by Christopher Sergel. Though over 35 years old, this stage adaptation continues to compel and delight viewers worldwide with its warmth, wit and wisdom. Audiences find themselves transported to a sleepy Southern town in the 1930s and discover that the issues of that time- prejudice, racism , and human values- are issues of all time. |
