Best Practices in Product Management
Wednesday, April 18, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Verizon, 560 Lexington Avenue, 7th Floor
Free for members and sponsors. $20 for non-members.
Effective product management strategies are critical to the growth of any technology company. Even if you’re a single-product start-up, understanding what features and function are important to your clients insures you are not stabbing in the dark with an if-we-build-it-they-will-come approach to product development. How do you align development efforts with business goals? How do you communicate product strategy within your organization? Is globalization being considered in your product mix?
Overview Of Four Sales Methodologies
Monday, April 23, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
PowerSPACE, 330 Madison Avenue, 9th Floor
Free for members and sponsors. $20 for non-members.
Brian Turchin, President of Cape Horn Strategies, discusses four sales methodologies that entrepreneurs should consider. They include: Sandler, CustomerCentric, SPIN Selling and Miller-Heiman. The fundamental insight: each methodology brings something to the party–but none are the caterer who does it all. You need to tailor your sales methodology to the specifics of your selling situation. If you haven’t investigated any sales methodologies before, or want to learn something about other sales methodologies that might make you a better sales person or a better sales executive managing others, or are new to selling, then attend this presentation.

Using the tool, developers can create a search domain and then upload any data they want searchable.
