“Spirit and Money: Prospering by Doing what You Love”
This class helps the millions of spiritual seekers to heal the erroneous separation that so often exists in their minds between Spirit and money. Most importantly, Spirit & Money author Cary Bayer teaches how to use your God-given talents to attract revenue streams by doing the work that you love–your dharma (the work that you’re here to do). This can, in time, turn a tolerable livelihood into a passionate lovelihood. It also shows you how to make a larger cut of the millionaire pie available to you in our abundant universe; and gain 200 percent of Life’s spiritual and material riches. It also teaches you a prayer that you can use on a daily basis to help create unexpected income.
Finally, it helps empower those who are already doing what they love to market their services more effectively by learning the art of spiritual marketing, and come to see that selling itself, when it’s done from the heart, can be graceful and as innocent as child’s play.
How to Find Your Soul Mate

The Law of Attraction teaches that you attract into your life people and experiences based on your thoughts. This workshop, led by Relationships 101 author Cary Bayer, shows you how to prepare the way for your soul mate to show up by teaching you first how to fall in love with yourself, the basis for drawing that mate to you.
It then shows you how to let the universe know of your readiness for finding your mate—which is an inner process–then how to best let the world know—which is an outer process that involves the people in your life and the dating services on the Internet.
The workshop also trains you how to become magnetic to others, while teaching you the six steps for securing more good dates with people you’re both attracted to and resonate with, to see if such people might be that soul mate. Finally, it puts you on a clear path to looking for love in all the right places—and, magically, finding it.

Rare is the person who doesn’t have unresolved issues with an ex-spouse, parent, boss, current spouse, deceased parent or ex-boss, for example. People also spend thousands of dollars in therapy trying to resolve these conflicts.
Have you ever noticed that people who resemble the person or people who you’re incomplete with have an uncanny knack for showing up in your life in different guises? That’s no accident. This workshop will provide the theoretical framework to understand the role these people play in your life.
This highly practical workshop also comes equipped with a systematic, three-step Completion Process that frees you of the toxic energy and heavy weight that you’ve been carrying around for all these years. In this class, you’ll make tremendous progress toward finishing the first of these three steps that are vital for your physical, emotional, and financial health, and will enable you to become at peace with anyone you’ve ever known.

Inspired by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the Beatles went to an ashram in India, practiced Transcendental Meditation with its founder, and awakened to the Transcendent within them. A number of songs about the higher realities of Life flowed out of them in that meditative peace—songs that helped to spiritually awaken a whole generation. As you hear these songs in class, they may help awaken you, too.
Cary Bayer taught Transcendental Meditation for more than three decades and also trained dozens of its teachers, as well. In 2010, he developed Higher Self Healing Meditation. In this enlightening class, he plays a number of Beatles’ songs that were influenced by their spiritual insights; teaches a cleansing breath meditation that they practiced; and guides you through a mantra meditation that suggests the effortlessness nature of the meditation that the Beatles sang about and that he teaches. He’ll also present an introduction to a simple meditation technique that, in the ancient Vedic tradition, is always transmitted one on one. This meditation could be learned at a later date, and practiced daily for 20 minutes at home to free you of stress twice a day, contact the higher Self regularly, and make the great peace and freedom that results a part of your everyday life.

A knitting class designed for the beginner to the advanced knitter. For the beginners you will learn the basics, for the advanced you design your own squares. Our goal is to create blankets for charity. It is amazing how a 10†x 10†square can help someone in need.
This is a TCC member community workshop. The idea derives from my “Eating Club That Sometimes Knits†group back home in Idaho. It all started with a charity project to create blankets for a women’s shelter and turned into a monthly girls’ night of good food, good times, and great women. Come out continue the charity.
Supplies:
1. Set of size 8, 9, or 10 knitting needles
2. A skein of any color yarn (please not extra thick or frilly)
3. A willingness to laugh, learn, and give
Every third Tuesday of each month $10 to knit, wine will be provided, bitchin’ is free.

Her music engages our social, cultural and physical environments. Shatin is no stranger to Miami audiences, having served as composer-in-residence for the Deering Estate Chamber Players series for several years, with additional performances at the Bass and Wolfsonian Museums.

In an effort to join the battle against childhood cancer, South Florida smooth jazz artist Luis Alas will host a concert at the Miami Baptist Church West Kendall Amphitheater on Saturday, February 1, 2014 at 7:30 p.m. to benefit Stand Foundation, a 501 (3) non-profit organization started in memory of Alexandra “Alex” Scott, who succumbed to the disease in 2004.
“I have had a blessed life, not of money and wealth but of amazing opportunities and this talent which I always love to put it to use to help others,” shares Alas. “Cancer took my father from me and it was a tragic loss, but when I read about stories like Alex’s and Bella it hurts me, not only the suffering the children go through, but of the parents, family and loved ones around them.”
Alas and a cast of amazing musicians and vocalists from around the country will be performing in a romantic, smooth jazz at the concert deemed “Romance by Sax.” He released two singles in 2013, one called “Mr. Magic” and the other instrumental remake of the pop ballad “You’re My Everything”, which got as high as #55 on the ReverbNation Jazz chart.
Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra “Alex” Scott (1996-2004). In 2000, 4-year-old Alex announced that she wanted to hold a lemonade stand to raise money to help find a cure for all children with cancer. Since Alex held that first stand, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement, complete with thousands of supporters across the country carrying on her legacy of hope.
To date, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (www.alexslemonade.org), a registered 501(c)3 charity, has raised more than $60 million toward fulfilling Alex’s dream of finding a cure, funding over 275 research projects nationally. Alas adds, “I felt I had to do something and teaming with Alex’s Lemonade Stand felt like the perfect fit so hopefully we can put an end to this horrific illness.” Tickets are $10 for general admission/ lawn seating, $20 for VIP (includes reception); military discount available –15% off with I.D.

Through interesting bio-facts and an amazing variety of graphic images, Magill illustrates the incredible facets surrounding the courtship and breeding behaviors found throughout the animal kingdom. Dealing with everything from frogs to elephants, this program is “education through entertainment” in the best sense of the term. By drawing parallels to human sexuality, Magill uses humor to keep the audience loose and uninhibited. “They don’t just laugh at what they hear,” says the Miami Review, “They howl. They gasp. They cry.” This is a program full of fascinating information that, the Miami Herald stated, “Dr. Doolittle never dared to ask.” It is geared to helping people appreciate the wonders of nature while giving a whole new meaning to the term, “doing the wild thing.”

Seven great musicians come together on one stage to deliver a historic concert. Jose Negroni, Nomar Negroni, Josh Allen, Ed Calle, Federico Britos, Sammy Figueroa and Roberto Perera will share an exceptional evening performing the best of Latin Jazz.
Negroni’s Trio with these Great Musicians will take the stage bringing to life known jazz standards and Latin American music, as well as music from the great Cuban composer and bassist, Israel Lopez, “Cachao†and their own original songs. During the concert, people will enjoy soloists, duos, trios, until these Seven Giants come together as one band with a repertoire of 18 musical pieces.
Puerto Rican pianist and composer, José Negroni, producer and creator of the encounter says that they are all great friends and always talked about working together, but due to professional commitments, they never did. “So I talked to each one of them until I found a date when we all could be here in Miami in order to achieve this long-due dream,” Negroni adds. Despite being all local musicians, they belong to this elite of musicians that spend most of their time on the road, either accompanying an artist, recording or performing their own work.
Each of these musicians is a winner and Grammy nominee, they have been innovative and have brought the Latin Jazz genre to great stages.
Encounter…. The concert will be a unique opportunity for those who appreciate music. According to master Negroni, audiences will enjoy “music with virtuosity treated with honesty, delicacy, harmony and melody. Great performances by artists who have given their life to music and art in general. Exciting interpretations, as they are performed by great friends.”
The concert will be held on February 7th at the Black Box of Miami- Dade County Auditorium at 8 pm.

Hey South Florida….Want to experience the cult classic “Killer Klowns from Outer Space” theatrically for the first time?
Join Keepitclassic.com & PopcornNights.com for an exclusive one-night-only screening of this so-bad-its-good 80’s classic. Over the past 25 years, “Killer Klowns from Outer Space” has developed a huge following on home video and late-night cable, having never received a wide theatrical release, we thought it would be quite awesome to celebrate its’ 25th anniversary with an event where we can all share in the Killer Klown awesomeness together. 2013 actually marked the film’s 25th Anniversary but since it was never released theatrically in Florida, we figured it would be a cool way to start out 2014.
Tickets can only be purchased through Tugg.com, not at the theater.

Author Looks To Provide Voice Regarding Childhood Sexual Abuse
Miami-FL-Every two minutes someone is sexually assaulted. Author, childhood sexual abuse (CSA) survivor and activist Julie Marie Mansfield is set to kick-off her Catalyst Series that will help engender meaningful dialogue and healing to those impacted by CSA. Mansfield will speak at the 4th annual Broward AWARE! Protecting OUR Children awareness campaign press conference on January 9, 2014, at 10am at (ARC Broward-10250, NW 53rd Street, Sunrise, FL 33351). Broward AWARE! Protecting OUR Children’s awareness campaign ensures Broward County families, educators, media, law enforcement and all stakeholders use and share resources that make it possible for children to safely realize their full potential, hopes and dreams.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is estimated that 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 6 boys are sexually abused before age 18, and only 20% of these cases are reported to the police. Ninety-three percent of children know and trust their abusers.
To help reignite the dialogue about the pervasiveness of CSA, Mansfield recently released her book Maybe God Was Busy (Amazon.com). The book traces her journey growing up behind the tourist veil of Jamaica, one of the most beloved islands in the world. It is a raw, unaltered look at an idyllic childhood interrupted by constant sexual abuse. From molestation, to incest, to sex with the “church brother,†to sex with the voodoo practitioner charged with saving a dying brother, to a pregnancy and abortion—sans anesthesia—at age 15, everything is revealed. Maybe God Was Busy is truly raw and authentic—a memoir saturated with abuse, survival, forgiveness, triumph and redemption—and yes laughter.
Mansfield’s Catalyst Series will include talks and book readings throughout the United States, the UK and the Caribbean, and will to inspire communities to mobilize to educate, empower and become agents of change to protect and prevent all children from CSA.
“The more we remain silent, the more predators attack. Silence is a breeding ground, telling people who prey on kids that we are all complicit in their crimes,†Mansfield says. “By openly and honestly discussing the ravages of CSA, we can and will bring change to how victims heal, how they shake the shame and guilt so often associated with CSA.â€
Maybe God Was Busy is being hailed by critics as a major work in exposing childhood sexual abuse, constant sexual abuse and incest. Amazingly the book also finds ways of expressing humor as Mansfield does in her workshops, even while battling these horrific manifestations.
Since she wrote the book many persons; men and women; have come out of the shadows of shame and hurt and thanked her for giving them inspiration. For more information about Julie Mansfield and Give me Dignity, visit www.givemedignity.org.

Both pioneer of the founding principles of postmodern art and chess player, Marcel Duchamp remains a mystery. Between captivation and admiration, this creation personifies, invokes and evokes the inventor of the readymade. Far from an academic interpretation, this show takes us into Duchamp’s work allowing for an experience of chance and magic.

Zoo Miami welcomes “Creatures of Habitat – a gazillion-piece animal adventure” all made of LEGO® bricks. ZoMiami is proud to present this most exciting, educational, and fun exhibit from January 29 – June 22, 2014, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. daily, at Dr. Wilde’s World (DWW). The exhibit will be displayed both in DWW’s air-conditioned museum space as well as on its outdoor plaza. The Creatures of Habitat, a popular exhibit made up of LEGO® bricks, comes to Zoo Miami from the Philadelphia Zoo, where it captured a wide audience. The purpose of this exhibit is multifaceted: to educate visitors on the potential extinction of various animal species and habitats; to inspire them to protect our planet; to teach them how our behaviors and actions contribute to the destruction of these animals and their habitats; and how we can change our lives to ensure and promote our planet, animal species, and habitat conservation.
Visitors will be wowed by the colors and realistic settings of each exhibit, which include:
Humboldt Penguin Explore the rocky shores of Punta San Juan, Peru, home to colonies of Humboldt penguins. Be educated about the harmful effects to the penguin of over-fishing, seabird and marine mammal communities.
Polar Bear Journey into the arctic tundra as you observe an eight and one-half foot polar bear stranded on a melting ice floe. Learn what changes you can make to reverse the loss of the polar ice caps before it’s too late.
Micronesian Kingfisher Travel to the island of Guam to discover the extraordinary plight of the Micronesian Kingfisher, a small bird that was driven to extinction in the wild from the invasive brown tree snake.
Golden Lion Tamarin Be transported to a Brazilian paradise where 13 golden lion tamarins appear to frolic and play. Discover how education, translocation and reintroduction all play a key role in preserving these unique primates.
Diamond-backed Terrapin Uncover the tribulations of the endangered diamond backed terrapins!
Borneo Rainforest Three dioramas set the scene as you see a first-hand, intricate, miniature depiction of the crisis in Borneo. Explore pristine forests filled with wildlife and witness the destruction of logging and palm oil plantations.
Western Lowland Gorilla Become an imposing Western lowland gorilla in a mosaic cutout. Put yourself in the shoes of a mother gorilla carrying her young through the forests of the Congo.
Bornean Orangutan In another dynamic mosaic cutout, become a Bornean orangutan swinging through the forest. Snap a photograph to remember your journey.
Harlequin Frog Discover the harlequin frog, native to the rainforests of Central and South America and learn about the chytrid crisis that has wiped out one third of all amphibians.
“We expect this exhibit to attract LEGO® enthusiasts, artists and animal-lovers alike. We hope it will bring in many visitors to push Zoo Miami past the 1 million mark,†said Cindy Castelblanco, Zoological Society of Florida/Zoo Miami Director of Marketing.
Creatures of Habitat, designed by the Philadelphia Zoo with the engagement of LEGO® Certified Professional Sean Kenney, is the first hands-on, interactive exhibit about vanishing habitats told through sculptures made of LEGO® bricks. It took Sean and his team over six months, and hundreds of thousands of toy bricks, to create the thirty-two individual sculptures that make up the Creatures of Habitat exhibit. The whimsical habitat sets for each sculpture were conceived and designed by the Philadelphia Zoo’s creative team. Illustrations by Jo Tronc and Richard Carbajal lend a storybook quality to the sets and help inspire visitors to save vanishing species and habitats. Before coming to Zoo Miami, the exhibit was on display at the Hogle Zoo in Utah. This exhibit was not made in conjunction with the LEGO® Group.

Although Veuve boasts a portfolio of high end events, patrons of this iconic South Beach drag bar know that there’s no reason to get dressed up, although staff and the drag queens are sure to be dressed to the 9’s for the over the top dinner soiree. With 2 packages to choose from, Palace has made this holiday party opulent… without breaking the bank. Reservation holders enjoy 3 courses from an incredible pre-fixe menu starting at 9PM and have the option to purchase bottles of the legendary yellow-labeled bubbly the entire night at discounted prices. Of course, Veuve Clicquot will be there in full support with giveaways and adding ambiance with their special brand of yellow-orange lights, flowers, giveaways, bottles, buckets, and more. Whether you choose a glass or a bottle, the 31st is not complete without some bubbly.
DJ Deanne will be providing the perfect party soundtrack while you kick back glass after glass, and try an array of new appetizers. Deanne is spinning the best of Miami’s music scene from 8PM to 2AM (or maybe even later). She doesn’t have to hold the stage all by herself though, at 9PM the full cast of Palace Queens will be out (lead by the incredible Tiffany Fantasia) to entertain you with wild performances, comedy, and perhaps a surprise or two right up until Midnight and way way after.
So, break out your pearls, find your monocle… or don’t. Either way you decide, this is a night not to be missed. What could be more “Opulent” than a party at the Palace?
(Inquiries and Reservations can be made via Info@PalaceSouthBeach.com, Tables are limited and this event sells out every year, so make your reservations now.)

When the champagne runs out and the night is gone, the memories live on… New Year’s is Forever!
For years, New Years Forever has grown to become one of the most anticipated celebrations of the year. Reasons may be for its reputable line-up of entertainment or sightings of pre-countdown celebrities, but most will say it’s the go-to celebration that bridges that gap between the pretentious black tie affairs and the casual household gatherings; in other words, we celebrate with sophisticated fun surrounded by old friends and new.
Throughout the night, Latin Grammy Winner Jorge Moreno will be doing his signature Havana nights-inspired performance. There will also be sounds by DJ Laz Quintero.
Celebrate a moment you want to remember forever. Make it temporary or make it timeless… New Year’s is Forever.

Cost: Varies
Experience the future of storytelling, February 1-5, 2014. FilmGate Interactive, South Florida’s first fully interactive film festival and conference, emerges for a second year to showcase the latest ideas and innovations of modern storytelling. Featuring interactive screenings, exhibits, the first annual FILM WALK™, an Interactive Tech Playground, transmedia dance performances, a Story Hackathon, panels, workshops, bike-ins and music.
FilmGate Interactive, South Florida’s first fully interactive film festival and technology conference, presented by the Indie Film Club Miami, emerges for a second year, January 30 – February 5, 2014, throughout various South Florida venues, to engage the community in a showcase of the latest ideas and innovations of modern storytelling and audience engagement.
Based on the power of transmedia (cross-platform) storytelling and its ability to deliver and transform the way stories are told and experienced, FilmGate Interactive will present a host of events that employ various entertainment formats linked together such as film, contemporary dance, theater, music, gaming, mobile, and live events, to tell a single story. Offering a mix of interactive activities, with film and technology at the core, the 2014 line-up includes:
CNTL/ALT/DANCE Transmedia Dance Performances curated by Pioneer Winter
January 30 – February 1, 2014, visit Film-Gate.org for showtimes
Miami Light Project, 404 NW 26 Street, Miami, FL
FEE: $0 to $45
This interactive dance program includes, Drive-In Voyeur and Romantic Endings, Choreographed by Pioneer Winter and produced by Indie Film Club MIami. Drive-In Voyeur is an interactive performance that reflects on the time of late 1950s and early 1960s popularity of the drive-in movie using movement, contemporary dance and video projection. Romantic Endings pairs favorite romantic death scenes with contemporary dance performances and a curated food experience created by a surprise Miami Chef. The experience and professional “hand holders†are supplied. In TRPL QUINCE, quince being the traditional Hispanic coming-of-age/coming-out party for 15-year-old girls, the flamboyantly outrageous Cuban-American performer-choreographer-producer Octavio Campos is throwing himself not one but three quinces in a single performance. However, TRPL Quince, which will have its third showing at FilmGate 2014, looks nothing like the usual elaborately costumed party. Instead, Campos addresses a roiling mass of issues: his Cuban family’s refusal to accept his homosexuality and his desire to be an artist; the sometimes-troubled history of the men in his family; his reasons for making art; the looming challenges of middle age and mortality. “This transmedia event is my quince, my walkabout, my bar mitzvah, my rite of passage, my view of Miami, Berlin and New York, in all of it’s f*&#ed up glory!!! A celebration of Freedom and life and the ever-looming clock of mortality,†said Octavio Campos.

Art of Life Film To Be Screened at Big Night in Little Haiti Friday, December 20, 2013
Friday December 20th 2013, 10:00PM – 12:00AM, Moving the Lives of Kids Art Center (MLK Mural) is pleased to present the “Art of Life†as part of Rhythm Foundation and Little Haiti Cultural Center Big Night in Little Haiti. The film will be shown at the Little Haiti Cultural Center Theater located at 212 NE 59th Terrace, Miami, FL 33137.
The feature length film is the directorial debut of famed mural artist, and Executive Director of MLK Mural, Kyle Holbrook. The film screening will be followed by a special performance by Woffgang playing his original track from the score of the movie.
Many young men and women living in hoods across America suffer the absence of a path or a toolkit for survival. Sometimes that toolkit is there, but they just need a guide or an angel to show them to it. In the “Art of Life†the two lead characters Chay and Cheyanne, are looking for a way out of the suffocating pain and misery of their surroundings, but they need a plan. As both develop their artistic skills, their future prospects grow brighter, even if their present environment maintains darkness. Well they be able to escape to the light? In this story, which blends the magic of cinema, animation, sketches, paintings and music, we learn that art is all around us, and realizing this could help make survival more vividly apparent to those trapped in the dark.
Artist Kyle Holbrook directed and costarred in the film playing a magical and mythical character named “Art.†His character blurs the line of reality and is the manifestation of their inspiration, and a guide to their redemption for both lead characters.
“Art of Life†features original music by Pittsburgh native Mac Miller. The Pittsburgh musician only held one job in his life prior to becoming the famed musician and reality show star that he is today, working with MLK Mural. He helped write original music for the film, and worked behind the camera filming sections of the film.
Also costarring in the film is artist and poet Vanessa German, who plays a several roles in the film serving as a muse and inspiration for the characters.
This unique organic and artistic film features scenes shot inside a County Jail, in the middle of the marches during the G20 Summit, and on site during the production of
several MLK Mural Projects around the world. “Art of Life†also features several original pieces by MLK Mural artists woven into scenes as animation.
Audiences will be blown away by the unique and organic process of writing and directing, and will be wowed by this artfully crafted film. There will be a special musical performance following the film by Woffgang presenting an original track from the soundtrack of the film. Art world, immerse yourself within it. www.artoflifethemovie.com

Biography
Jahfé is a band based out of Miami, Fl playing a heavy yet smooth fusion of roots reggae with rocking dub-hop. Representing the power of the youth and the wisdom of roots culture, the music of Jahfe not only reflects the city’s diverse music scene but also the true ability of conscious music to connect to people of all backgrounds. Band members represent a diverse international background of home countries and cultural roots- Haiti to Spain, Israel to Cuba, Czech Republic to Morocco to all over the US.
The band is comprised of some of the hardest working musicians in Miami; Jahfe has shared the stage with Damian, Stephen, Julian and Ky-Mani Marley, Steel Pulse, Buju Banton, Capleton, Collie Buddz, Midnite, Toots and the Maytals, Pato Banton, Nas, Maxi Priest, Johnny Dread, Cultura Profetica and many other great artists.
Collectively the band has worked with such artists as Damian ‘Jr. Gong’ Marley, Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, Ky-Mani Marley, The BlackOut Movement, Thievery Corporation, Paul Fakourie, Karl Pitterson and many other great artists and collaborator. Jahfe was featured this year as the Grammy Foundation Florida Showcase Winner 2010.
The members of Jahfé take every chance to speak out against the injustices that plague the world today, and have been featured in documentaries about domestic violence, and worked to increase awareness about the Darfur genocide and the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Jahfé’s music is filled with references to the prejudices that take place every day- hunger, poverty, disease, rape and the hatred between nations and their peoples that tear humanity apart.

Prolific theater artist, Thaddeus Phillips weaves together real adventures of international border crossings into a dramatic examination of imaginary lines, arbitrary passports and curious customs. 17 Border Crossings explores a world opened up by the fall of the Berlin Wall on 11/9/89 and sealed off by the events of 9/11/01. A seasoned world traveler and wildly inventive artist, Phillips embarks on new territory by stripping the stage bare to create a deceptively simple stage voyage that takes audiences to the frontiers of Bosnia, Cuba, Brazil, Colombia, Bali, Czech Republic, Israel, Jordan and Mexico.

For the first time in Wynwood- our annual celebration of Cuban music!
Listening to the bitter-sweet lyrics of Cuban singer Yusa and the simple sophistication of her music, one knows one is finally hearing 21st century Cuba. Her cutting-edge songs map the contemporary emotional lives of urban Havana. Fused inside her music are traces from further afield, from iconclastic jazz and rock to today’s Brazil. Full of the vital energy of experimentation and the textures of musical exchange gained in intimate venues, Yusa offers a whole new way of hearing Cuba.
Danay Suárez, self-taught Cuban singer of jazz and hip hop, began her music career through the Cuban rap movement. She could rap “with perfect flow and compelling, conscious lyrics†and she could also sing jazz, soul, reggae, blues, and more, with the same ease. By fusing elements of hip hop with jazz and traditional Cuban music, Danay has been celebrated around the world as an impeccable vocalist and poignant storyteller.

SPIN® 2.0 is a practical, hands-on program developed from Huthwaite’s groundbreaking research into effective selling skills. Based on today’s best-validated models for selling, the program uses an innovative design that not only develops selling skills, but provides the tools needed for ongoing reinforcement.
SPIN® 2.0 teaches salespeople to uncover implied needs (statements by the customer of problems, difficulties, and dissatisfactions) and to develop them into explicit needs (specific customer statements of wants or desires). Explicit needs are the only basis for a sale.
Salespeople will learn how to uncover customer business problems and develop those needs they best meet, present their offerings with high impact, avoiding “feature dumps†and discounting, differentiate their offerings from the competition, even in a commodity environment, win business without discounting, and make credible sales calls at senior executive levels.
