🀝 Full house at Win the Room!

Negotiation can sound like a serious topic, but yesterday's workshop was full of laughter, conversation, and real practice. Participants left with new confidence for the next time they sit across the table from a client, a vendor, or a partner.

Thank you to Elissa D. Hecker for being such an excellent instructor, and to everyone who joined us in White Plains. πŸ’™

Closing a sale is one skill. Holding your price, reviving a stalled deal, and asking for overdue payment without losing the relationship are another. This workshop is built for the moments that actually test your business.

Led by Joyce Kacin of Kacin Point Consulting, Advanced Sales & Negotiation is hands-on. You will practice real situations from your own business through live role play and direct feedback, so you leave with the confidence to use what you learn right away.

Participants will gain the ability to:
Hold their price without losing the sale
Get a stalled deal moving again
Reward loyal clients without giving away margin
Ask for overdue payment while keeping the relationship strong
Recognize when a deal no longer works and walk away with confidence

🀲 You made the decision weeks ago. So why haven't you acted on it?

That gap between knowing and doing has a name: the Self-Trust Gap. In this interactive, in-person workshop led by Jen Aks, you will explore how it shows up in your business and leave with a practical tool for your next big decision.

And it's on a Saturday, for everyone who can't get away during the week.
