Martino’s Restaurant in Stanley was the location for the most recent Chippewa County Economic Development Corporation (CCEDC) business retention workshop.  On Thursday, September 23 business leaders gathered to attend “Getting Beyond the First NO in Sales” workshop.  Chippewa Valley business leaders were educated on sales, how to decipher what kind of “no” is being relayed and how to respond in each situation and move towards a sale. Attendees participated in a ‘Sales Effectiveness Evaluation’ to assist in finding the gaps in where they are and where they would like to be within their business sales processes; then went on to review “power” questions for better sales.

CCEDC offered this and other workshops as part of our business retention program.  CCEDC’s mission is to foster a strong economic environment which supports businesses and nurtures growth and new investment in the region.  We are dedicated to promoting and facilitating economic development and to improve the quality of life in Chippewa County by increasing its economic base.

CCEDC would like to thank Jon Fields of the Growth Coach for presenting at the event and Martino’s Restaurant of Stanley for hosting.
