Are You in Sales? Actually… Yes. You Are. 


Whether you're a small business owner, a service provider, or someone building influence inside a team—you're selling something. 


➡ A product. 

➡ An idea. 

➡ A vision. 

➡ A service. 

➡ Yourself. 


In times of uncertainty, distraction, and constant change, selling becomes even harder—and more critical. 


That’s why you can’t afford to miss “Selling Through Chaos,” a powerful and practical presentation by leadership and performance expert Erik Therwanger. 


When: Thursday, May 29 - 8:30 am to 12:30 pm

Location: River Heights Chamber LL Conference Room

Cost: $75 RHC members/ $90 non-members
