Do you dislike sales? Unfortunately, if your business is going to survive, you have to learn how to sell your products and services.

Next week in Eustis, we're offering a great class to help those who really don't like sales but know they need to sell. You'll leave with a new outlook on sales, understanding how to turn it into natural conversations without cheesy tricks.

It's free, so don't hesitate on signing up today by clicking here: https://incubator.ucf.edu/event/sales-for-people-who-hate-sales/

Our entrepreneurs are truly experts in their industries, with decades of experience.

That's why we love to see John Tenny, the founder of Experienced Pilot Services, taking on a leadership role. Last week, John served as a host on Florida Aviation Network, interviewing Randy Clayton and John Helms of the Control Tower Academy at Bartow Airport KBOW.

Way to go, John, and we can't wait to see the shows when they are launched on YouTube!

If you're looking for an expert in just about anything, please reach out to us!
