June’s Monthly Meeting
Join Us For Our Monthly Meeting on June 27, 2011!
The meeting will be held at the Vestavia Hills Library in the Forest. It is scheduled to begin at 6:00pm and close around 8:00pm.
The evening will open with an opportunity for networking – after 30 minutes, the program will begin and will last for the remaining hour and a half of the meeting.
Our speaker this month is Bill Hart, President of New Sales Solutions. He will be discussing the art – and it is an art – of mastering the “sales call” (interview) by understanding the “buyer” (hiring manager).
Our Thoughts On This Topic: Job interviews are part of a sales process, and Bill’s comments will help you focus on your buyer – the hiring manager. This information is applicable in other professional settings, too, including meetings and finding ways to land that most valuable appointment. **Added bonus! Bill will also share his advice on making sure that the company is also a fit for you, which is equally important.
