​Is your business a target for an accessibility lawsuit?
July 25, 2022

​The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires certain businesses to make their web content accessible for people with disabilities, including blind users, deaf users, and those who must navigate by voice, screen readers, or other assistive technologies. When it comes to ADA website compliance, there are no clear rules. But that doesn’t let businesses off the hook. 
 
Failure to create an ADA-compliant website could open a business to lawsuits, financial liabilities, and damage to their brand reputation. 
 
Join the Chamber for a presentation and discussion with Adam Lowe, Peak Performance Digital, and learn some steps business can take toward ADA compliance, or to at least demonstrate that the business has made a good-faith effort toward accommodation.
 
Interested in volunteering your website for a quick review during the presentation? Contact Jane Redicker.

Thursday, August 25, from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. via Zoom.

OEC Business Tips: Managing the Sales "Dance"
July 18, 2022

Picture
CC's Owners & Entrepreneurs Circle discussed Managing the Sales "Dance" at its recent meeting. Attendees offered a few tips that might be useful for all businesses.
​
  • Determine what aspects your customers are looking for – the service/product itself, the convenience of purchasing over producing said product, the time saved via using your product – and shift your messaging to highlight those aspects and better resonate with your customers.
  • In your initial sales meeting, ask your prospect for their consent for you to follow up, then set an agreed upon date and follow up.
  • It's not about a sales conversation. The conversation is, "How can I be of service to you?" Identify one single problem your target market has and sell a solution to that problem.
  • Qualify your leads quickly and discuss the budget up front. 
 
The next OEC meeting is Thursday, August 4, at 5 p.m. at Mi Rancho Restaurant. Topic: When to Automate, Delegate, or Eliminate. Register here.
