Next Thing Now January 8, 2013

What do you get when you put smart speakers with smart ideas in front of a smart audience? You get the Next Thing Now, and it's coming to Wilmington on January 8, 2013 at the Chase Center on the Riverfront.

At our first event we're featuring the one and only Dan Pink, author of best-selling books like Drive, A Whole New Mind, Free Agent Nation, and the upcoming To Sell Is Human.

All attendees will receive a copy of Dan's new book, To Sell Is Human.

The theme of our first event of the year is the "Moving Business." What's that, you ask? According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, one in nine Americans works in sales. Every day more than fifteen million people earn their keep by persuading someone else to make a purchase.

But dig deeper and a startling truth emerges:

Yes, one in nine Americans works in sales. But so do the other eight.

Whether we’re employees pitching colleagues on a new idea, entrepreneurs enticing funders to invest, or parents and teachers cajoling children to study, we spend our days trying to move others. Like it or not, we’re all in sales now. We're all in the "Moving Business."

In addition to Dan, we'll also feature Wilmington's own "heavy hitters" talking about motivating, persuading, and selling.

Next Thing Now is an action-oriented, inspiring, skill-building event . Give us one morning and we'll give you proven strategies to sharpen your business skills, accelerate your effectiveness, and motivate you.

Light breakfast and coffee will be served. See you there!
