Chamber continues education series
The Hudson Area Chamber of Commerce Education Series continues Sept. 3 from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. at Barlow Community Center with a workshop focused on building sales. Three experts in the field will meet with small groups and offer advice on how to cultivate relationships, motivate sales teams, and boost sales. The cost is $20 for Chamber members and $50 for non-members.
This will be a small-group format, with each group having more than 30 minutes with each expert. Participants will have time to ask questions pertaining specifically to their businesses and gain advice on how to improve their sales efforts.
The experts will include Jeff Nischwitz, founder of Think Again, a training, consulting and coaching company that helps people and organizations build relationships that drive results, navigate change, and improve effectiveness and execution. He is a national speaker and trainer on various topics. He will share his perspectives on shifting from a transactional sales approach to a relationship building model to improve sales results.
Holly Rhoads, a partner of The Ruby Group, will discuss "Incenting your sales team." The Ruby Group provides sales, sales management, and non-traditional business training to more than 200 clients in Northeast Ohio.
Donna Kastner of Enlighten 123 will present "Five ways to power up your prospecting." Kastner works with clients to help them engage in more new business conversations, often through integrated call and digital campaigns.

Jo-Ann offers contest to help charities
Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores has initiated the Craft for a Cause program where crafters can win donations to their favorite charities.
"Our customer research has shown that many of the items purchased in our stores are used to make crafts to support charitable causes," said Brent Beebe, vice president of crafts merchandising for Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores. "We recognize that there are many organizations that can benefit from the donation of crafted projects. Craft for a Cause is one way that we can make a difference together."
Participants can create a craft for their favorite charitable organizations using materials purchased from Jo-Ann and donate the item to an organization.
They may complete entry forms at Joann.com/craftforacause by Oct. 30. Receipts and photographs are required.
A panel of sewing and crafting experts will then judge all eligible entries and will select five winners based on the quality/workmanship, creativity and functionality of the item for the chosen organization, as shown in the photographs
The top five entries will each win a $1,500 Jo-Ann gift card.
The three charitable causes receiving the most donated items will become Craft for a Cause finalists.
Starting Nov. 7, guests may vote at Joann.com for the favorite finalist. Jo-Ann will donate $50,000 to the first-prize winner, $25,000 for second, and $15,000 for third.
