The third seminar will be Wednesday, May 9 at 11:30 a.m. at the Edge Building - Woodcrest, 2201 W Nifong Blvd.
Woodcrest will present on the topic titled, "Everyone is selling - but not everyone is buying"

The seminar will begin with a ribbon cutting by the Ambassadors and proceed into the Woodcrest's presentation. In this seminar they focus on the question: “How has Woodcrest become so effective at reaching and engaging people who aren’t necessarily church types?” By reducing the barriers to entry (making church accessible) and anticipating people’s objections (answering unspoken questions) and offering a quality experience (relevant, creative and useful).  In a day and age where people have lower trust in religious leaders and religious institutions this approach has been extremely important for us.  A church isn’t the only entity to face those “low trust” variables; politicians, health care professionals, sales people, etc. face these challenges. We will address these challenges and how we have worked at overcoming them.
