SUMMARY:Selling Workshop: San Jose\, CA
DESCRIPTION:Combatting Online Eyeglass Sales\nWe have become a connected and on-the-move society.

The event is open to Members & prospective Members and is free to attend. Breakfast is included. \nWhat You’ll Learn:  \n\nGenerate & Connect with Patients\nIncrease Capture Rate\nDifferentiate Your Practice\nRecommend Digital Vision Solutions\nCreate Compelling Displays\nOvercome Purchasing Hesitations\n\nWho Should Attend? \n\nOwners\, Administrators\, Managers\nOptometrists (3 COPE-PM)\nSpectacle Opticians (3 ABO)\nContact Lens Technicians (3 NCLE)\nParaoptometric Technicians (3 CPC)\n\nWe hope to see you there! \nREGISTER NOW \nVIEW AGENDA
