SUMMARY:How to Sell by Building Relationships (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Sales doesn’t have to feel pushy\, and you don’t need to be the “sales type” to successfully sell. Selling is a skill\, not a personality type: everyone can learn how to be successful at it. In this webinar\, SCORE experts teach entrepreneurs how to sell by developing relationships so as to better understand their client’s needs and work with them to craft a solution that meets those needs. \nThis webinar is targeted to entrepreneurs who sell services to businesses\, government clients\, or those who sell large consumer products or services where the sales process typically includes a meeting and written proposal. \nThis webinar walks through specific activities to follow throughout the sales process: \n\nSteps you need to take before the sales meeting to set you up for success\, including how to do your homework on the prospective buyer\nMechanics of running a successful sales meeting where you build relationships with your buyers and gain the information you need to craft a winning solution\nActivities to follow after the meeting to close the sale\n\n\nHosted by SCORE Southern Maryland\n\nClick HERE to register.

SUMMARY:Advanced Negotiation Strategy to Protect Profit and Close Stronger Deals (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:From vendor and client agreements to pricing and hiring employees\, negotiations are a constant part of running a business. The terms you agree to directly affect the profit you keep\, the risk you assume\, your business relationships\, and your cash flow. Without a repeatable negotiation process\, agreements are made reactively\, putting your profits at risk. \nIn this advanced webinar\, you’ll learn how to approach negotiations with both a rational structure and awareness of the human dynamics that influence outcomes. We will examine frameworks that help bring structure and clarity\, along with the emotional and behavioral factors that often make and break a deal. We will also look at real business examples to show you how these principles apply in practical situations involving clients\, vendors\, partners\, and other high-stakes conversations. \nBy the end of this webinar\, you will be able to: \n\nUnderstand and apply foundational frameworks such as BATNA\, ZOPA\, and Harvard’s 7 Elements\nRecognize why logic alone often fails and navigate emotional triggers and behavioral biases more effectively\nUse tactical empathy techniques drawn from the Black Swan approach to reduce tension and move conversations toward agreement\nApply a practical negotiation preparation checklist to real-world scenarios involving clients\, vendors\, and partners\n\nClick HERE to register.
