Kingsport, TN, April 09, 2015 --(PR.com)-- The Small Business Development Center ETSU – Kingsport Affiliate will lead a GrowthWheel® WorkGroup on Sales and Service on Tuesday, April 28 from 9 to 11 am at your Kingsport Chamber of Commerce. The event is co-sponsored by the Kingsport Office of Small Business Development and Entrepreneurship (KOSBE) and your Kingsport Chamber of Commerce.

The GrowthWheel® is a new business tool for decision making. It offers small business owners and entrepreneurs a way to view their business holistically. GrowthWheel® helps entrepreneurs get focused, set an agenda, and take steps to grow.

Participants of this training will work on an individual action plan or growth plan related to tasks to excel at when selling, activities for improving lead conversion, and questions to be answered with sales arguments. All participants will receive a kit that is customizable to their individual business’s needs.

This seminar will be led by Aundrea Y. Wilcox, KOSBE Executive Director and Senior Business Counselor for the SBDC at ETSU Kingsport Affiliate Office. Wilcox is also certified as a GrowthWheel® Instructor.

“GrowthWheel® is a great tool for businesses of any size, in any industry, at any stage of development, but is especially useful to existing businesses,” said Wilcox. “The reason for this is that existing businesses have some history and experiences that make GrowthWheel® more meaningful. I really would like to see our well established businesses take advantage of these trainings and make their old business new again.”

There is no cost to attend, but pre-registration is required. Attendees must meet the following prerequisites - completion of “GrowthWheel® Introduction” training and submission of GrowthWheel® 360° Screening prior to registration.
