SUMMARY:Technology Services Roundtable: Taming the Revolving Door
DESCRIPTION:The last few years have been a challenge: \n\nAre you at risk of losing existing customers?\nAre you being squeezed to reduce fees?\nIs significantly growing the business an ongoing challenge for you?\n\nAs a company providing ongoing technology-based services to businesses in Calgary and Alberta\, we have been facing some unique challenges\, or so we believe. \nIt is tough to grow a recurring-revenue\, subscription-based business if your clients are at risk. For small providers\, losing a key employee can cripple your business for months and put your client retention at further risk in a vicious cycle. As you – the owner – step in to fix problems you can no longer focus on creating business value and bringing in new clients. \nJoin your hosts for a highly interactive roundtable session created just for you – the owner of a technology services provider. You will learn how to “Tame the Revolving Door” for your clients and employees and then we’ll have an open roundtable to delve deeper into these topics. \n\n6:00 pm – Pizza and networking\n6:30 pm – Workshop on “Taming the Revolving Door” by Likky Lavji of the Dante Group\n7:00 pm – Roundtable Taming with the Hosts\n8:00 pm – Closing Remarks and networking\n\nYour hosts are: \n\nSunwapta Solutions\nHelia Technologies\nDante Group\n\nSeats are limited\, please reserve your ticket through the Eventbrite event page. \nRegister for Technology Services Roundtable\n  \n

SUMMARY:Past Event: Sunwapta Open House (Dec 14)
DESCRIPTION:How Have You Been?\nIt has been a bit of a tough year here in Calgary for many of us\, yet we’ve also been quite busy. We haven’t been holding as many events. This means we haven’t seen some of our friends and business colleagues as often as we would like. Well\, there is no better time than now to do something about that. \nSunwapta Solutions is hosting an informal gathering on the 14th of December between 11:30 am and 1:30 pm for our friends\, long lost friends\, friends of friends\, and people we would like to call friends that we haven’t yet met. \nIf you are in business come on down. Bring a friend. Let’s talk about 2016 and the great things you are going to do in 2017. We’ll even provide some pizza\, snacks\, and beverages to warm you up. \nDon’t forget to RSVP so we can plan the food. See you then.

SUMMARY:Past Event: Boot Camp (10 Dec) - Mastering Your Sales Superpowers
DESCRIPTION:Create More Value and Convert Leads To Clients\nNow is the time to be working on improving your sales. So you can maximize sales in the down times and really hit it in the upswing. \nYou can’t grow your business significantly until you master sales in a way that works for you\, your business\, and most importantly your future customers. \nThe trick is creating a bridge from need to value and putting in processes to ensure followup. Once you master lead conversion and getting referrals\, you can afford to spend more on generating leads… but you might not need to. \nMany entrepreneurs just get out there and sell without spending much time figuring out what works or doesn’t. Even worse\, they expect their sales teams to either get it or move on. \nThe myth is that entrepreneurs are natural salespeople because they know the vision and product. So they don’t get help. \nThis may work okay during an up cycle but during the tough times\, you need every edge you can get. \nGetting Help: Who This Is For\nThis boot camp is for entrepreneurs\, business owners\, and sales leaders who don’t have an extensive sales background and want to: \n\nSignificantly increase sales\,\nDrive revenue growth\,\nCreate a high performing sales team\,\nOptimize their sales funnel\nAutomate as much as they can\nIncrease client loyalty\n\nWhat We Will Cover\nIn a combination of exercises\, boot camp\, coaching and group masterminds you will be working on YOUR business. Some of the topics are: \n\n3 essential skills to dramatically improve sales\nDefine and understand your product and service ladder\nLead generation and conversion\nUnderstanding and communicating your value\nSteps of the Sale\nMapping out your custom sales funnel\nApplying the 5 Laws of Stratospheric Success from The Go-Giver book by Bob Burg and John David Mann.\nMeasuring and Tracking Success\nIntroduction to Advanced Sales and Marketing Concepts\nSales Funnel Optimization\n\nA very small increase in your sales conversion ratio can significantly impact your immediate revenue and pay for the course quickly. Optimizing sales is the key to growing faster. \nPlus we will also look at these strategies as they apply to you: \n\nSales Team Mindset\nBuyer Mindset\nBridging to value\nPreempting Objections\nClosing Starts Early\nFollow-up that works\nA referral mindset\n\nWhat You Get\nWe are restricting this boot camp to 8 organizations to ensure everyone has time to work on their business. The value includes: \n\nBoot Camp (Value of $800)\n\n\nDIY – Self Paced Preparation Workbook\n15 Minute Pre-Boot Camp Phone Consultation\nNew: Post Boot Camp Exercises\n1 Day Sales Boot Camp\n\n\nKick-start Coaching – 1 hour of One-on-One Coaching for YOUR specific situation (value of $250)\nBonus: Getting Clients Mastermind – 3 Months (value of $597)\nTotal Value: over $1\,600\nSuper Early-bird registration $595 plus GST.\nRegular Pricing will be $795 plus GST\n\nWhat People Are Saying\n \n \nCurriculum\n\nModule 1 – Seller Mindset and Determining Your Value\nModule 2 – Understanding Your Perfect Clients\, Strengths and Competition\nModule 3 – Marketing Basics and Transitioning Prospects to Sales Smoothly\nModule 4 – Buyer Mindset\, Steps of the Sale\, Trust\, Asking Better Questions\nModule 5 – Bridging to Value and Handling Objections\nModule 6 – Closing and Follow-up\nModule 7 – Creating Your Selling System\, Measuring and Optimization\n\nAttention Professionals: Do you have a yearly requirement for ongoing training and professional development.

SUMMARY:Past Event: Speaker Series (3 Dec) - Building Teams That Win In Any Economy
DESCRIPTION:This is a combination in person (Calgary) and online (GoToWebinar) event. \n\nBuilding Teams That Win In Any Economy\nAs a business owner or entrepreneur\, you have to deal with a lot of concurrent challenges. When you have a solid team working with you\, it alleviates a lot of the pressure on you. \nTo keep a team at a high level of performance\, you must start with a commitment to excellence throughout the organization. \nOnce you are clear on what the mission\, vision\, and goals are at any point in time\, you can define the organizational impact areas. Impact areas are the parts or functions of the business that are critical to success. \nPeople are the threads that run through every impact area. The cumulative beliefs and values of the people make up the culture of the organization. \nIn this Speaker Series Event\, you will learn some strategies and approaches to create cohesive teams and a competent organization. The speakers will share with you their accumulated knowledge and experience\, gained over many years of working in industry\, consulting and training others. You could transform your business by implementing a single idea. \nWhen you achieve a culture of excellence\, you can win with less pain in both up and down economies. \nSpeakers\nVince Aliberti and Al Dhalla will be your hosts for the evening. \nCreating A Culture Of Excellence & Building a Solid Core – Doug Wagner\nPart 1 – Creating a Culture of Excellence: Clients expect excellence and consistency in the delivery of products and services. Your people are your competitive advantage in achieving this\, but only if you can create a culture that supports what matters most. \nPart 2 – Building a Solid Core: Most businesses deal with issues as they come up and rely on a few key executives to get them through challenges. When you create a solid core for your business\, you can more readily and quickly adapt to the challenges you face as a business. Identify the core elements of your business and learn to get them tuned. \nDoug Wagner is the president of Sunwapta Solutions\, an entrepreneur\, writer\, speaker and the visionary behind the Manifast Business Success System.  This customizable system allows us to partner with our clients to help them define where they want to go\, and how to get there in a way that makes sense for them. Our mission is to help businesses survive\, thrive and grow. \nTrain For Bottom Line Success – John Hudson\nManagement is not happy with overall organizational or employee performance. Employees hear mixed messages\, are not sure what they are supposed to do\, get frustrated and either shut down further or leave. Most employees want to perform their jobs well. In this interactive session\, John will show you how to implement a competency program and train employees for success. Once you understand this approach\, you can transform the performance of your entire organization. \nPrior to purchasing DETAC in 2011\, John was Vice President of HSE & Risk Management at Peak Energy Services. In a career spanning over 30 years\, John has held operational management positions in Energy and Utilities organizations. His experience includes leading safety\, training\, information technology and risk management functions\, along with engineering\, research and construction projects. A registered Professional Engineer in the Province of Alberta\, John is passionate about leveraging online and on-the-job learning to achieve safety and operational excellence. \nWhy\, Connections\, and Creating Positive Relationships  – Barbara Abramson\nYour company may have a clear mission\, values and a future vision. Everyone on the team also has their own personal version. When we know WHY others feel the way they do\, it breaks down barriers to creating deeper relationships. Through example\, Barb will share one or more tools you can use with your team to build stronger connections and unlock the potential of your team. \nBarbara works with corporations\, schools\, senior centers\, and community organizations to help people connect more deeply to themselves\, to each other\, and to the opportunities in their lives. She’s all about increasing happiness and profitability\, and decreasing bullying and depression\, by helping friendships evolve\, partnerships develop\, and aha moments occur. \nThe Five Behaviours of a Cohesive TeamTM – Jade Clarke\nTeamwork is the single most untapped competitive advantage.  It all starts with understanding the individual working style of the team members and then learning how to appreciate those differences and apply them to create a cohesive\, high performing team. \nJade Clarke is the owner of Quill Training Ltd. She is a firm believer in lifelong learning for both your professional and personal life. She works in partnership with clients to explore opportunities to provide innovative learning solutions for employees. Jade helps organizations break down barriers between head office and the employees in the plant or fields; creating a cohesive team. \nAbout The Speaker Series\nThe Speaker Series is intended to create an effective and friendly environment for speakers\, business experts and entrepreneurs to share their business lessons with like minded entrepreneurs\, business owners and business leaders. There will also be lots of time for networking before\, after and during the event as building alliances and friendships is critical to business success. \nUltimately it is all about helping you to significantly grow your business. \nEvent Details\nFormat: Speaker Series \nTime: Arrive 6:00 pm for open networking  – 6:30 pm sharp start \nDuration: 2.5 hours (6:30 to 9:00 pm) \nParking: LRT parking lots are free after 10 am \nCost: Advance $10 per person ($15 at the door).

SUMMARY:Past Event: Speaker Series (17 Nov) - Getting Clients Even In Lean Times
DESCRIPTION:This is a combination in person (Calgary) and online (GoToWebinar) event. \nGetting Clients Even In Lean Times\nFor most entrepreneurs\, the most challenging part of business is getting enough clients. Whether you are trying to start a new venture\, worried about surviving during a tough market or seeking to grow your business; attracting and retaining clients is critical. \nFew people can even agree on what marketing is or the value it plays in your business. Even fewer know how to maximize its effectiveness. Sales are something you just figure out along the way (or don’t). At the end of the day\, you need more leads\, and you need to convert those leads into customers. \nThis Speaker Series event brings together three speakers who will help you make sense of it all and provide some clear guidance and strategies on how to attract\, convert and retain your perfect clients. \nThose companies with incomplete strategies and poor implementations tend to suffer. We see this far too much. \nThose companies that provide value to people\, and master marketing and sales\, tend to succeed consistently. Even in lean times. If you have sufficient revenue and profit\, you can weather most of the other business problems that happen along the way. \n“Business has only two functions — marketing and innovation.” ~Peter F. Drucker \nSuccess requires that you regularly spend time learning\, applying and improving your marketing and sales functions. \nThis event can help.

In Part Two you will learn a few critical skills in moving leads from prospects to clients. \nDoug Wagner is the president of Sunwapta Solutions and the visionary behind the Manifast Business Success System.

Survive\, thrive and grow. \nCreating Value – Pete Evans\nPete will talk about how the Law of Value from “The Go-Giver” by Bob Burg and John David\nMann\, can be applied to your business.  This Law is the foundation for building a successful business\, increasing sales and creating a powerful marketing message. Thinking like a Go-Giver is not only a nicer\, more fulfilling and more satisfying way to live\, it’s also a very financially profitable way as well. \nPete Evans is a Certified Go-Giver Coach and Speaker\, trainer\, speaker business consultant living in the United Kingdom.

SUMMARY:Seminar/Webinar (7 Oct) - Scaring Up Leads With Great Marketing
DESCRIPTION:Marketing that doesn’t lead to better sales performance is killing your business potential. \nWe have been talking to numerous business owners who have a number of the basic marketing pieces in place\, yet aren’t seeing the results that they expect. \nThis reminds me of the old saying: \n“Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don’t know which half.” ~ John Wanamaker \nAverage marketing generates some leads.

Effective marketing attracts the people who will buy. \nIn this fast paced 90 minute workshop we will take you through a few critical strategies and tactics that will dramatically improve the effectiveness of your marketing and sales with plenty of time for group discussion. \nCome prepared to work on your business marketing and sales and scare up some new business in October. \nEvent Logistics\nFormat: Seminar and Webinar \nLocation: \nManifast Business Training Centre\n#710\, 816 – 7th Ave SW\, Calgary\, AB \nOr\, \nOnline via GoToWebinar \nTime: Arrive 11:30am for open networking  – Noon Start (sharp) MDT \nDuration: 90 Minutes for Interactive Seminar/Webinar \nCost: Free Event – light lunch provided (Value $99)

SUMMARY:Workshop (24 September) - Mastering Your Sales Superpowers
DESCRIPTION: 1 Day Workshop – Sales Pipeline Mastery and Optimization\nIf your sales tend to drop over the summer or the price of oil has impacted you\, it is tempting to just coast through the summer and regroup in the fall. \nThis course is perfectly timed to get you ready for the fall. \nNow is the time to be working on improving your sales. So you can maximize sales in the down times and really hit it in the upswing. \nYou can’t grow your business significantly until you master sales in a way that works for you\, your business\, and most importantly your future customers. \nThe trick is creating a bridge from need to value and putting in processes to ensure followup. Once you master lead conversion and getting referrals\, you can afford to spend more on generating leads… but you might not need to. \nMany entrepreneurs just get out there and sell without spending much time figuring out what works or doesn’t.  Even worse\, they expect their sales teams to either get it or move on. \nThe myth is that entrepreneurs are natural salespeople because they know the vision and product. So they don’t get help. \nThis may work okay during an up cycle but during the tough times\, you need every edge you can get. \nGetting Help: Who This Is For\nThis workshop is for entrepreneurs\, business owners\, and sales leaders who don’t have an extensive sales background and want to: \n\nSignificantly increase sales\,\nDrive revenue growth\,\nCreate a high performing sales team\,\nOptimize their sales funnel\nAutomate as much as they can\nIncrease client loyalty\n\nWhat We Will Cover\nIn a combination of lessons\, workshops\, group masterminds and coaching you will be working on YOUR business. Some of the topics are: \n\n3 essential skills to dramatically improve sales\nDefine and understand your product and service ladder\nLead generation and conversion\nUnderstanding and communicating your value\nSteps of the Sale\nMapping out your custom sales funnel\nApplying the 5 Laws of Stratospheric Success from The Go-Giver book by Bob Burg and John David Mann.\nMeasuring and Tracking Success\nIntroduction to Advanced Sales and Marketing Concepts\nSales Funnel Optimization\n\nA very small increase in your sales conversion ratio can significantly impact your immediate revenue and pay for the course quickly. Optimizing sales is the key to growing faster. \nPlus we will also look at these strategies as they apply to you: \n\nSales Team Mindset\nBuyer Mindset\nBridging to value\nPreempting Objections\nClosing Starts Early\nFollow-up that works\nA referral mindset\n\nWhat You Get\nWe are restricting this workshop to 8 organizations to ensure everyone has time to work on their business.

This is a waste of talent and it directly impacts your company’s bottom line. Learn the 5 skills every leader should have to improve their success rate and help grow your business. \nTraining has always been Merri Lemmex’s passion and has either been the main focus\, or a significant part of every position she has held.

DESCRIPTION:1 Day Workshop – Sales Pipeline Creation and Optimization\n“Summertime and the livin’ is easy” ~ Summertime by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong \nIf your sales tend to drop over the summer or the price of oil has impacted you\, it is tempting to just coast through the summer and regroup in the fall. \nNow is the time to be working on improving your sales.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series (6 May) - Driving Business Revenue Through Value
DESCRIPTION:About The Speaker Series\nThe last event sold out and was a resounding success. \nThe Speaker Series is intended to create a friendly environment for speakers\, business experts and entrepreneurs to share their business lessons with like minded entrepreneurs\, business owners and business leaders. There will also be lots of time for networking before\, after and during the event as building alliances and friendships is critical to business success. \nUltimately it is all about helping you to significantly grow your business. \nDriving Business Revenue Through Value\nDo you or your clients seem to focus on price? \nThis speaker series will be focused on creating and communicating value so price becomes a more minor concern. \nWhen buyers see the value you are able to move out of being a commodity\, set higher prices to reflect the value\, and ultimately… drive more business revenue. \n“From the sales workshop I learned that I have to be more proactive in my sales follow-up process. Along with that\, the workshop was very thought provoking\, as it made me think about different ways I can go about growing my business!” \n~ Merri Lemmex\, Managing Partner\, Lemmex Williams Training \nVince Aliberti and Al Dhalla will be your hosts for the evening. \nSpeakers\nCreating Value Through Authentic Story – Doug Wagner\nSince the beginning of time wisdom and inspiration have been passed on through story. As humans we are highly attuned to relate to and connect to story. Value is both tangible and perceived. We will explore increasing perceived value through telling your authentic story and weaving your future client into it. \nDoug Wagner is the president of Sunwapta Solutions and the visionary behind the Manifast Business Success System. The Manifast team specializes in putting tactics and systems in place to execute on your business strategy; helping clients significantly grow their business. If times are tough\, they help your business survive and thrive. \nSelling On Value Instead Of Price – Dixie Gillaspie\nMany business owners and sales people tend to get caught in the trap of offering discounts or getting beat up on price. In most cases the discussion has veered from the value you provide to seeing you as a commodity. Dixie will be talking about bringing the conversation back to value through applying the 5 Laws of Stratospheric Success from The Go-Giver. \nDixie Gillaspie is a speaker\, writer\, coach to entrepreneurs and a Master Certified Go-Giver Coach. She is the author of Just Blow it Up – Firepower for Living an Unlimited Life and a companion book\, Doses of Dynamite – Firepower for Capturing the Inspiration in Everyday Things. Dixie considers herself more of a “story teller” than a speaker\, but she’s shared the stage with the likes of Zig Zigler\, Bob Burg\, John David Mann\, Scott Ginsberg\, Mark Sanborn\, and Southwest Airlines President Emerita\, Coleen Barrett. She’s allergic to the word “CAN’T” and her Blast Thru Coaching(TM) method is a process for challenging\, and even eliminating that word from your vocabulary. \nCreating Value Through Expertise and Promotion – Jeff Kahane\nHow do you innovate and change how marketing and sales are done in a very traditional industry? Well you start with the foundation of delivering value to your clients and then market online through blogs and social media by building a real connection with people who then see you as the go to expert in your industry. Then you take to the next level by getting invited as the “expert” to television and public events. Jeff will share some of his lessons and tips with us this evening. \nJeff Kahane founded the Kahane Law Office in 2004. The law firm is ranked third in Alberta with respect to real estate transactions by volume by a title insurance company. Jeff and his firm have won numerous awards including: the Ernst & Young Global competition for methods of building a better global law firm in 2002\, the Alberta Centennial Medal of Honour in 2005\, was named “Leader of Tomorrow” in 2010 by Business in Calgary magazine and won the Calgary Choice Award for small business in 2011. In addition\, Kahane Law Office was recognized as a Best Place to Work in Calgary in 2006. Most recently\, Kahane Law was recognized as the Top Real Estate Law Firm in Calgary – winning the Top Choice Award in both 2014 and 2015. \nFund Raiser: Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada\nVince and Doug recently had the privilege of working with the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada in a very enlightening situation. \nThe survival rate for brain cancer is 25% versus 63% for all other cancers combined. On top of that\, there are many types of brain tumours that are not cancerous but still have a devastating impact on the patient. \nBrain tumours are the leading cause of cancer death in children under the age of 20. The effects of treatment on the growing survivors is significant. There is some promising research that is looking at moving the needle over the next decade. So let’s do something about changing this. \nOur charity of choice for this event is the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada. We are asking for $10 per person at the door (you are free to give more) and we will be donating all proceeds to this cause. The very cool part is that every dollar donated will be matched by Brain Canada so the impact will be significant. \n\n\n\nEvent Details\nFormat: Speaker Series \nLocation: Manifast Business Training Centre\n#710\, 816 – 7th Ave SW\, Calgary\, AB \nTime: Arrive 6pm for open networking  – 6:30 pm sharp start \nDuration: 2 hours (6:30 to 8:30 pm) \nParking: Street parking is free after 6 pm \nCost: Cash Donation (suggested $10 per person). Light snacks and water provided (Value $79)

SUMMARY:Workshop - Driving Revenue Requires Super Sales Teams (16 April)
DESCRIPTION:1 Day – Sales Pipeline Optimization\nYou can’t grow your business significantly until you master sales in a way that works for you\, your business\, and most importantly your future customers. \nThe trick is creating a bridge from need to value. Once you master lead conversion\, you can afford to spend more on generating leads… but you might not need to. \nMany entrepreneurs just get out there and sell without spending much time figuring out what works or doesn’t.  Even worse\, they expect their sales teams to either get it or move on. \nThe myth is that entrepreneurs are natural salespeople because they know the vision and product. So they don’t get help. \nGetting Help: Who This Is For\nThis workshop is for entrepreneurs\, business owners\, and sales leaders who don’t have an extensive sales background and want to: \n\nSignificantly increases sales\,\nDrive revenue growth\,\nCreate a high performing sales team\,\nOptimize their sales funnel\nAutomate as much as they can\nIncrease client loyalty\n\nWhat We Will Cover\nIn a combination of lessons\, workshops\, group masterminds and coaching you will be working on YOUR business. Some of the topics are: \n\n3 essential skills to dramatically improve sales\nDefine and understand your product and service ladder\nLead generation and conversion\nSteps of the Sale\nMapping Out Your Marketing Source and Sales Funnel\nMeasuring and Tracking Success\nSales Funnel Optimization\n\nA very small increase in your sales conversion ratio can significantly impact your immediate revenue and pay for the course quickly. Optimizing sales is the key to growing faster. \n \nPlus we will also look at these strategies as they apply to you: \n\nSales Team Mindset\nBuyer Mindset\nBridging to value\nPreempting Objections\nClosing Starts Early\nFollow-up that works.\n\nWhat You Get\nWe are restricting this workshop to 8-10 organizations to ensure everyone has time to work on their business. The value includes: \n\nDIY – Self Paced Preparation Workbook\n15 Minute Pre-Workshop Phone Consultation\n1 Day Workshop\n1 Hour of One-on-One Coaching for YOUR specific situation (post workshop)\nNormal Price: $499 to $699\nPilot* Price: $197 plus GST \n\n* This is a pilot workshop. This means we are creating a brand new version of leading edge training to help our clients grow and we intend on over-delivering on the value. The only downside is that there may be a few minor hiccups with going first. If there are we fix them. The upside\, you get this training before anyone else at half the future price.  \n\n\n\nEvent Details\nThis isn’t for everyone. You have to really want to grow your revenues through sales and be willing to do some work. \nFormat: Live Workshop With Mastermind and Coaching \nLocation: Manifast Business Training Centre\n#710\, 816 – 7th Ave SW\, Calgary\, AB \nTime: 9:30 am – 5 pm Start (sharp) MDT \nCost: $197 plus GST

SUMMARY:Speaker Series - Putting Your Clients First Makes Good Dollars
DESCRIPTION:About The Speaker Series\nWe are happy to be launching the brand new Manifast Speakers Series on Monday 13 April. The Speaker Series is intended to create a friendly environment for speakers\, business experts and entrepreneurs to share their business lessons with like minded entrepreneurs\, business owners and business leaders. There will also be lots of time for networking before\, after and during the event as building alliances and friendships is critical to business success. \nUltimately it is all about helping you to significantly grow your business. \nPutting Your Clients First Makes Dollars\nMost small business owners and certainly most sales teams start seeing people as someone they are going to make do something. \nWe get into this trap because we are focused on the numbers. We are focused on the problems in our business. We are focused on us. \n“We just need to make 3 more sales before the end of the month.” \nGuess what? Your future clients are focused on themselves. If you help them solve a pain\, fulfill a need or fulfill a want you will eventually win as well. Selling is really about the other person. \nSo let’s shift the focus back where it belongs… other people. \nIt doesn’t just make good sense\, it makes dollars. \n“From the sales workshop I learned that I have to be more proactive in my sales follow-up process. Along with that\, the workshop was very thought provoking\, as it made me think about different ways I can go about growing my business!” \n~ Merri Lemmex\, Managing Partner\, Lemmex Williams Training \n\nSpeakers\nVince Aliberti and Al Dhalla will be your hosts for the evening. \nInto The Client’s Mindset – Doug Wagner\nTo truly understand sales you need to understand the mindset of the buyer. Not any buyer\, but YOUR ideal clients. You become a guide to help them choose an option that is in their best interest and then take action. That taking action part involves overcoming objections and closing but often not in the way we think of in sales stereotypes. We will cover some powerful strategies for getting clients on board and then converting them to raving fans. \nDoug Wagner is the cofounder and president of Sunwapta Solutions and the visionary behind the Manifast Business Success System. They specialize in putting tactics and systems in place to execute on your business strategy; helping clients significantly grow their business \nStrategic Networking Is All About Connecting – Allan Marston\nYour sales success will be determined by the quality and depth of your network and how much you serve them. Allan will be talking about: \n\nThe power of who you know versus what you know.\nYour network IS your net worth.\nThe strategic networkers and their knack for going way beyond collecting business cards.\nAre you a connector?\n\nAllan Marston is currently the Business Development Executive at the PCC Group. He comes from a long and varied career as an entrepreneur\, corporate executive and seasoned sale and marketing professional. He is in the process of kicking off yet another venture. From what we’ve seen of Allan he is truly a “Connector” worth learning from. \nFocus on Niche\, Capisce – Mark Adolf\nEvery small business needs to understand what its niche is. Whether you sell furniture or run a coffee shop you need identify why a customer will choose your product/service over something else. Part of that is who you are and what your core values are and part of that is your ability to fulfill a market need. Over the past couple years they’ve been able to identify who their customer is and how to maximize their niche in a crowded marketplace. \nMark Adolf and Darren Malin opened an Italian multi-functional furniture store in Calgary called Resource Furniture and have plans to expand and grow in the future. \nMark has also been known to throw some fun into his talks so you don’t want to miss this event. \n\n\n\nEvent Details\nFormat: Speaker Series \nLocation: Manifast Business Training Centre\n#710\, 816 – 7th Ave SW\, Calgary\, AB \nTime: Arrive 6pm for open networking  – 6:30 pm sharp start \nDuration: 2 hours (6:30 to 8:30 pm) \nParking: Street parking is free after 6 pm \nCost: Free Event – Light snacks and water provided (Value $79) \nEvent Full!
