Learning Objectives:

Title: Cyber Security

Presented by Eric Robuck and Dale Rothenberger

 Every business should be concerned about Cyber Security and protecting their business. But many business owners and executives have the philosophy that "I'm too small (etc) to be a target .... Until it happens. And, let's face it - understanding this complex world of cybersecurity compliance is not something many people have knowledge of. 

Do you want to ensure that your organization is meeting its compliance obligations and avoiding potential legal and financial risks? If so, The Valander Group's presentation on cybersecurity compliance will provide an understanding of Cyber Risk and Compliance in layman's terminology. As a compliance expert with years of experience in the field, we will provide valuable insights and guidance on how to navigate the compliance landscape and meet your organization's compliance obligations.

 Our presentation will cover a range of topics, including:

1. An overview of cybersecurity compliance regulations and standards, such as NIst 800-53, PCI DSS, and GDPR

2. Best practices for assessing your organization's compliance posture

3. Strategies for implementing a compliance program and maintaining compliance over time

4. Guidance on how to prepare for compliance audits and assessments

5. We will show live situations of Hackers in action and test how secure your organization may be

 By attending this presentation, your organization will gain a deeper understanding of cybersecurity compliance regulations and standards and learn how to meet your compliance obligations in a cost-effective and efficient manner. You'll be better equipped to protect your organization from potential legal and financial risks and ensure that you are meeting the highest standards of security and compliance.

Title: Sales Strategies - Stop Fearing Your Customers and Prospects and Take Back Control

Presented by David Light

Most salespeople and other professionals consider themselves to be "relationship" sellers.  Unfortunately, the reality is the relationship is such that they are afraid to ask for more business, ask for new business, get competitive information, get in front of the right people for fear of offending their contacts, get competitive information, or enforce previous agreements.  It doesn't have to be that way. 

Attendees will learn practical and effective tactics and techniques that will lead to the introductions they seek, as well as learn how to deal with Referral Anxiety, the leading cause of failure for referral generation. Learn how to reset the relationship by first becoming "bulletproof" and then establishing new rules of engagement for your customers and prospects.  The customer is always right- they're not always right for you. No more going to "Buyer's School", time to recognize the game being run by the buyers and understand how to bend them more to your will.

C. What are the roles of a Leader?

Title:  Payment Processing: A Pain or A Gain?

Presented by Michael Schor

Michael Schor discusses how to manage the costs inherent in customer payments whether in the form of credit or debit card usage or other digital transactions.  The session will include ideas on evaluating merchant services processors and making sense of the often-obtuse payment processing environment.  This presentation is based on a portion of Schor's Collecting the Money Series developed for the New York Public Library.
