“Making the Sale” with Keynote Speaker Jeff Gee

Moving a customer from “How much does it cost?” to “I’ll buy it!” is a technique that every business owner should know as they are the number one sales person on staff. To gain or enhance sales closing skills, area business owners are invited to attend the Illinois Small Business Development Center’s (ISBDC) Meet 4 Lunch event from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on April 24 featuring “Making the Sale,” presented by motivational speaker Jeff Gee. The event will take place at the Shah Center of McHenry County College, located at 4100 W. Shamrock Lane in McHenry.

Gee, a widely recognized outstanding speaker, instructor and consultant, will challenge the audience members to “go for it” 100 percent and see how everything changes for the better in both their professional and personal lives.
