Sales Recovery Plan: Reset, Refocus, and Rebuild for 2026

No matter how 2025 turned out for your business, 2026 presents a fresh opportunity to reset your mindset, sharpen your focus, and build momentum in your sales efforts.

Join the Lake Norman Chamber of Commerce for Session 1 of a 6 session Professional Development Sales Series, presented by Insightful Selling, Inc. and led by John Buckner. This interactive Lunch & Learn will help participants regain clarity, confidence, and direction in their sales approach as they move into the new year.
