DESCRIPTION:Business Support Series \n\nThe Business Support Webinar Series will explore timely topics with  industry experts to provide key insights and answers on the best ways to succeed as a business.  Hosted by the Halifax Chamber of Commerce\, this series will feature a wide range of topics on how to survive and thrive.   \n\n \n\nThe hopes and fears of businesses everywhere hinge on a vaccine. But what happens until then... and what happens afterward may seal the fate of otherwise successful companies and economies.\n\n\n\nPeter Skakum addresses the sobering truths surrounding economies and industries navigating within the pandemic's wake and sheds light on a key profession pivotal to rebuilding and expanding economic prosperity. That profession is selling. \n\n\n\nCompany leaders who hire the best selling talent to represent their companies will recover\, grow and prosper faster and likely beyond their pre COVID numbers. The keys however\, are recognizing\, attracting and especially keeping these talented selling professionals. These are the subjects that will be examined in this webinar.\n\n \n\nAll who register will receive the publication: The Definitive Guide to Hiring and Keeping the Best Selling Talent.\n \n\n\n\nPeter Skakum\, Sales Strategist\, Tangent Strategies\n\nA Marketing graduate of Red River College\, Peter Skakum founded Hawthorne/Revere Communications Inc. in 1989. Hawthorne/Revere created corporate image and corporate promotional collateral materials within markets including Winnipeg\, Minnesota and Boston.\n\n\n\nIn September of 2006 Hawthorne/Revere Communications rebranded as Tangent Strategies Inc. specializing in the creation of long-term external and internal corporate marketing strategies for a broad range of industries from engineering\, manufacturing and construction\, to IT and healthcare. \n\n\n\nToday Peter Skakum focuses over 40 years of selling experience\, exclusively on selling education. Tangent Strategies teaches company leaders how to hire and retain the most talented selling professionals.\n\n\n\nFurthermore\, it teaches them to stay strong and profitable under the most challenging business conditions by replacing combative\, obsolete selling tactics we all prefer to avoid\, with safe\, dignified\, corporate selling disciplines and principles buyers welcome\, trust and can say yes to more often.
