&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Program Description:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the hardest things for salespeople in our industry to do is manage the influx of business that comes every fall as the season starts to turn. As more and more customers come through the door, as online inquiries flood in, and as the phone rings off the hook, salespeople face the constant temptation of rushing through the customers in front of them to get to what’s next.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If your company struggles to make the most of the burn season—this course is for you.&amp;nbsp; What you'll walk away with:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;How to avoid the chaos cycle that cripples businesses every burn season.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;A word-for-word opener that gets busy customers to sit down—so you understand the project perfectly before you show a single product.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;How to sell the series, not the size, so you never have to walk a customer back from a model that won't fit.&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;A simple 3-step process for writing every estimate before the customer leaves, so more decisions happen in the showroom and your follow-up pile shrinks&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who Should Attend:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Business owners, sales managers, and retail salespeople who want to close more business without burning out.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cost:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;HPBA Members :&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;$50&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;($25 for each additional attendee)&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Non-members:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;$100&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Registration includes seminar and Axe Throwing activity.&amp;nbsp; HPBA member attendees receive one free video from our previous &lt;a href="https://ohpba.org/events" target="_blank"&gt;Quarterly Spark events&lt;/a&gt;. A $50 value.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Can't attend in person?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Purchase the video.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;This is a great option for companies to show to their sales teams at a later date.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sponsor the Event:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are seeking sponsors. &lt;strong&gt;Education sponsor $500&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;Happy Hour and Axe Throwing: $800.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Timeline:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Training, 1:00 - 3:00 pm, followed at 3:00 pm by pizza, beer and axe throwing with &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Celtic Axe&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
