DESCRIPTION:This is a 4 week course that will be held on Wednesday\, January 12th\, January 26th\, February 9th\, & February 23rd from 8:00 A.M.-12:00 P.M. \nSession 1: Customer Service & Sales (January 12\, 2022) \nMost business owners are looking for the latest marketing strategy\, a new source of leads\, or a fairy-tale salesperson who is going to come in and turn all the prospects into customers without breaking a sweat. As awesome as these strategies sound\, they rarely work out. But wait! There’s good news! The secret to growing your business is very likely right under your nose. In fact\, we have found that most businesses obliviously leave a percentage of their current revenues on the table every year. This workshop will show you a proven sales methodology that will not only bring in new customers but create repeat business for years to come. \n  \nSession 2: Understanding Your Numbers (January 26\, 2022) \nAre you confused by your financial statements? Do you have trouble recognizing what they are telling you? This workshop will help you quickly master the fundamentals and develop a comprehensive understanding of how they work\, how to interpret them accurately\, and how to use their information to make more effective\, better-informed business decisions that have a positive impact on your organization’s bottom line. You will also learn the importance of a dashboard and how to easily set one up for your company. \n  \nSession 3: Personal Performance (February 9\, 2022) \nCritical thinking is a lost art. Whether you are refining operations\, evaluating strategic plans\, or brainstorming better ways to assist customers\, businesses with the best ideas come out on top. This workshop will teach you how to recognize key mistakes that company leaders make which undermine their effectiveness at running and growing a company.  You will also walk away with tips that you can implement immediately to improve your personal performance and help you reach your full potential to build an amazing team.  If YOU want to build an amazing team\, it starts with YOU! \n  \nSession 4: What is Your USP? & Communication (February 23\, 2022) \nAre you tired of feeling invisible in your field\, of not being recognized for your talents and expertise? Are you losing potential customers to your competitors solely because your prices are higher? Many professionals have felt the same way and decided to do something about it. The answer lies in the strength and value of your USP. This workshop will teach you the art and science of identifying what sets you apart and turning that into a brand that will make you more valuable and memorable than others in your field. \nThis Seminar is Hosted by ABC Member Paramount Business Development

SUMMARY:Executive Leadership Development Series 1
DESCRIPTION:This is a 4 week course that will be held on Wednesday November 3rd\,  November 17th\, December 1st\, & December 15th from 8:00 A.M.-12:00 P.M. \nSession 1: Leader’s Right Mindset (November 3\, 2021) \nMany people believe that being the owner\, boss or holding some sort of management position is what defines leadership. Paramount Business Development\, Inc. KNOWS this is totally false. True leadership is hard\, and it is not something that can be achieved overnight. It is a slow and steady process that happens over years and years of practice and it all starts with little habits. Join us for a morning to discover the 7 habits of highly effective leaders that you can start practicing today that will help you become the leader you want to be tomorrow. \n  \nSession 2: Communicating Simply & Effectively (November 17\, 2021) \nWorkplace communication is crucial to companies because it enables them to be productive and operate effectively. When a company can communicate correctly\, employees can experience an increase in morale\, productivity\, and commitment. How well do you communicate with your team? More importantly\, how often do you communicate with your team? Join us as we discuss real life examples of communication problems in companies and how you can better lead your team to success. \n  \nSession 3: When Things Go Awry?! (December 1\, 2021) \nWe’ve discussed how crucial workplace communication is to a company\, but what happens when things go wrong? Not all problems can be anticipated or resolved. People are complicated and there’s no owner’s manuals. This workshop will review communication strategies\, discuss real life conflicts within organizations\, and present several effective strategies to handle those conflicts. \n  \nSession 4: Managing Overwhelm (December 15\, 2021) \nAre you feeling pressured by deadlines?  Is there never enough time in the day?  Are you working longer and longer hours\, while getting further behind? Win your time back in this 4-hour workshop where we will show you how to master your use of time\, complete your most critical tasks\, and overcome that constant feeling of being overwhelmed. \nThis seminar will be hosted by ABC Member Paramount Business Development

As businesses move into the next phase of 2021\, now is the time to seek out and seize the opportunities emerging in the recovery. \nOne of the many things that business leaders are struggling with is hiring and retaining.

SUMMARY:Effective Delegation Strategies
DESCRIPTION:TARGET AUDIENCE:  Mid-level Managers and up \nHow many times have you done a task yourself because you thought you could get it done quicker and more efficiently than anyone else? Even if you could get it done quicker\, all the time you are spending doing jobs that other people could be doing is time that you are not running your business. Every time you allow yourself to get bogged down in simple details that your employees could be working on\, you are not being an effective leader. The main person in your company who will be truly motivated to grow your company is YOU. Every minute that you spend working on tasks that can be delegated to someone else is a minute that you are not planning\, strategizing\, and building the best business possible. This workshop will discuss effective delegation strategies that you can implement today so you can get back to the most crucial tasks. \n  \nSeminar Hosted by ABC Member Paramount Business Development

SUMMARY:Free Benefits & Payroll Savings Hosted by ABC Insurance Trust
DESCRIPTION:SAVE ON PAYROLL TAXES AND PROVIDE EMPLOYEES WITH THE BENEFITS THEY NEED AT NO NET COST  WITH A SIMERP PLAN THROUGH ABC.  \nWHAT IS SIMERP? \nSIMERP is a Self-Funded Medical Expense Reimbursement Program; a tax qualified platform that utilizes IRS tax codes to lower your payroll burden while providing employees with a tax break to purchase additional benefits and a free* wellness plan. \nA SIMERP PLAN ALLOWS: \n\nEmployers to save money on payroll taxes with no up-front costs\nEmployees to take home the same pay while adding benefits\nCurrent group health plan enrollees and waivers to participate\n\nTHE BENEFITS OF SIMERP: \n\nEmployers receive ~$500-$700 in FICA net savings per enrolled employee\, per year.\nEnrolled Employees gain a reserve that doesn’t reduce their take home pay.\nEnrolled employees & their dependents have access to a robust wellness plan that includes unlimited telemedicine for a $0 copayment.\n\nHOW IT WORKS: \n\nEmployer offers a voluntary wellness program under the SIMERP section 105 guidelines.\nEnrolled employees receive a credit on their payroll\, based on the estimated value of the wellness program\, their pay and deductions.\nThis “credit” creates a reserve\, which allows the employee to purchase/pay for qualifies benefits.\n\nTHE RESULT: Employees receive additional benefits at no cost while employers reduce their payroll burden and further improve their benefits program to attract and retain employees. \nEmployers can integrate this program into their benefits package at any time.  \nTo learn more about ABC Insurance Trust visit their website at insurancetrust.abc.org. \nABC WL SIMERP Promo \n

SUMMARY:Marijuana and the Workplace-How Managers & Supervisors Can Prioritize Safety and Avoid Liability
DESCRIPTION:A growing number of states have legalized marijuana not only for medical purposes but also for recreational use. Far from an academic discussion filled with meaningless legal jargon\, in this webinar\, Jonathan Landesman will discuss real-life situations and provide practical guidance for project managers and supervisors on the jobsite. He will review common issues\, including pre-hire drug screening\, post-accident and reasonable suspicion testing\, zero tolerance policies\, progressive discipline\, leaves of absence\, and processing medical documentation. Attendees will learn how to maintain a safe working environment while avoiding liability for breach of privacy and disability discrimination claims.
