2025 Burnsville Business Briefings: Grow Your Business Through Stronger Sales Conversations (September)

Are you ready to close more deals, connect with the right customers, and take your sales skills to the next level?

Join us for a powerful presentation focused on growing your business through better sales conversations. This session will include practical tips to enhance your prospecting, follow-up, and customer engagement — all designed to help you convert more opportunities into wins.

After the presentation, we’ll open the floor for a Q&A and an interactive discussion with the speaker to explore interest in a new, Chamber-led sales training series launching in 2026. This multi-session program will be built specifically for Chamber members who want to increase confidence, improve conversion rates, and gain the tools to succeed in today’s competitive market.

The Burnsville Chamber is aligning this new initiative with feedback from our recent member survey. Top challenges identified include inconsistent prospecting, unclear customer motivation, and difficulty advancing deals. Our goal? Help you overcome those roadblocks with practical, relevant training that delivers results.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn, engage, and shape what’s next.

Let’s strengthen your sales conversations—together.
