Talk #1
The Art and Science of Selling, presented by: Saina Fan | Senior Manager, Business Enablement, RBC
Today 1 in 9 people identify as in sales, however what happened to the other 8? if we look at the definition of sales, we will realized everyone is in some forms of sales. Previously when we think of ABC, we think it stands for Always Be Closing. I would like to look at the new definition of ABC by Daniel Pink, Attunement, Buoyancy, and Clarity. Together we can discover how to better connect and serve our customers.
Talk #2
Presented by: Darryl Stewart | Partner, Chaeban Ice Cream
Until COVID hit, Darryl was a silent partner in Chaeban Ice Cream, Winnipeg’s award-winning, small-batch premium ice cream manufacturer. With COVID here Darryl’s knowledge of technology and marketing along with his bootstrapping savvy came in handy to help save this brick-and-mortar company from disaster, pivoting the business to ecommerce and helping save this local icon. Darryl is also co-founder and Chief Nerd of inclusionsystem.ca, a successful SaaS company which makes life easier for agencies supporting people with disabilities as well as ibexpayroll.ca which many Winnipeg businesses rely on.
