When it comes to sales, there are two things that we as small business coaches see that most entrepreneurs fail to do:

First is to follow up with your leads on a constant and consistent basis, and even more importantly is that you have to be targeting the exact right prospects.

In this workshop you will learn how to do just that - choose your target and learn what to do next with those important decisions. In addition, you will learn the 5 biggest myths surrounding the choice of your target audience that are stealing your sales.

Instructors Hank and Sharyn Yuloff (www.YuloffCreative.com) bring a unique perspective to their workshops. Hank has a 30+ year background in advertising and public relations; Sharyn is an online marketing and human resources expert.
