VALDOSTA – People seeking a sales plan can find help.

Valdosta-Lowndes County Chamber of Commerce, SEEDS Business Resource Center and the Valdosta HubSpot User Group will host a free workshop titled “How To Build an Actionable Sales Plan to Reach Revenue and Profitability Goals,” 11:30 a.m. Thursday, March 14, at the South Georgia Regional Library. 

There is no cost to attend and lunch is provided. However, attendees must register in advance by visiting valdostachamber.com.

The workshop will be presented by Anne Shenton, agency director of Ascend Inbound Marketing. Major learning objectives include how to:

– Begin with the end in mind: How to set SMART goals.

– Identify which products, services and customers to focus on (and which ones to cut).

– Build momentum with quick wins.

– Create an action plan.

– Define and measure metrics for success.

Shenton founded Ascend Inbound Marketing, a division of Nexxtep, in late 2015. Since then, Ascend has achieved triple-digit revenue growth year-over-year and hired several full-time employees, according to organizers. 

Shenton will share how the group got there.

“It’s no secret that the way prospects buy has changed. We’re excited to have Anne share her sales expertise with our local business community,” said Betty Morgan, vice president for business development, Valdosta-Lowndes County Chamber of Commerce.

Advanced registration is required by March 11. For more information and to register for the event, visit http://bit.ly/buildsalesplan or call the Chamber of Commerce, (229) 247-8100.
