ASHEVILLE SCORE SEMINARS (An Overview)

 

Save $5 by registering online! See our Registration page.

Pre-Registration is suggested as seating is limited

The greatest asset you can have to run your business successfully is knowledge. Knowledge generates ideas and from ideas great fortunes are built... just ask Bill Gates. We have developed ten seminars to help you acquire the knowledge you need to propel your business forward.

Experienced business professionals who "know their way around the territory" are your instructors at each seminar. A copy of the presentation is always available for you to keep and many seminars have supplemental materials, as well. You can also benefit from our free, one-on-one follow-up counseling to help you implement what you have learned.

Season Pass:

We now offer a "Season Pass" option that allows you to attend all seminars for a one time fee of $125 (and save $95), paying as little as $17.85 for 7 seminars. If you miss a seminar this semester, you can take it the next semester; so you really can't lose. Also, if your business purchases the ticket (ALERT: tax write-off here), you can allow a different employee to attend different seminars based on their job needs.
