Thank you to Wayne Tanner, our speaker today! As a dad of one of our students, Wayne shared with us his career journey and how EVERYONE is in sales! He curated his presentation to CEO and what an  Entrepreneur is:

🟠 as an entrepreneur you are the CEO, HR, & marketing as you start your business

🟠everyone is in sales

🟠never stop learning

🟠Always be willing to change direction

🟠Know who your customer profile is

🟠Problem solving

🟠Listen more than you speak

🟠Don’t undervalue yourself

🟠Technology is a TOOL, not a replacement!

🟠in person is the best way to communicate

🟠learn how to public speak if you aren’t good at it!

He also stressed the importance of finding what you do well and not trying to appeal to everyone - find your sweet spot & don’t target everyone! Start small and build processes early that work well!

We appreciate Wayne taking the time to spend the morning with us and sharing what he has learned. Wayne is with Trimech Group - a private equity firm that does Manufacturing & Robotic Simulations as well as engineering services with software! He is a wealth of knowledge and experience and we appreciate him sharing with us today! #mtzionilceo
