Carver is the founder and creator of the 360 Business Skills and Strategies 25 step program and uses 45 years in retail, wholesale, services and finance businesses to bring ‘spot on’ and current tips and suggestions that every busi- ness person can immediately put to use. Dazzle customers The first seminar, 1-4 p.m. is “Dazzle Customers as Soon as They Enter Your Business.” Entrepreneurs and small busi- ness owners often wonder why a few stores with similar prod- ucts and services vastly outsell others. The answers are found in the strategies, methods, planning and determination that owners of the more suc- cessful stores use to enjoy a larger market share than the competition. 40 skills The second seminar from 6-9 p.m. is titled “Forty Impor- tant Skills for Every Entrepre- neur and Business Person.” Whether you are brand new in the business world or already in business, you must have skills. There are 40 important skills everyone wanting to suc- ceed in business should know, grow, continuously enhance and sharpen. Strictly business, leadership, self management, and people soft skill types will be explored during the seminar. Subscribe Today, Call 642-4104 Sports Te News Reporter, Monday June 11, 2012 - Page 1B
