This small business workshop will help prevent small business owners from giving their prospects just enough information to make buying from the competition easier. Dave Tear of Gerry Weinberg & Associates will present this seminar, which will help sales staff learn how to reduce their sales cycle, improve their bids or quotes, and get past the frequently heard, "We're holding off for a few months."

The seminar is part of a comprehensive series of workshops sponsored by Comerica that are designed to help small business owners succeed. Cost for the workshop is $50 for Comerica customers, $75 for non-Comerica customers and $25 for each additional participant from the same company. Reservations are required and can be made by calling 1-800-292-1300 or by visiting http://www.comerica.com/ and clicking on "Small Business Seminars."
