HPBAC Ontario Chapter Report
Education Days
In June the Ontario Chapter held three Ontario Education Days,
in Orangeville, Kingston, and Kitchener, entitled – Building Your
Business. These were full day workshops with instructor-led
Technical Sales Training segment featuring Gord Cooke and retailer
roundtable sessions on Selling Efficiency, Do’s and Don’ts of
Advertising, Insurance Program and How to Sell Financing. For those
who may have missed these sessions, they will be offered again at
the HPBA EXPO in Salt Lake City.
Participant surveys rated The Art of Selling with an average score
of 4.5 out of 5. The Retailer Roundtable sessions were rated an
average score of 3 out of 5.

HPBAC / Ontario Chapter Forum and Education Days
The Ontario Chapter Board has been working on plans for an Ontario
Forum including a face-to-face planning meeting in Kingston on
Sunday, June 27th. This exercise has seen members of the board
conducting site visits to three prospective locations during the
last week of July and first week of August. A decision was made at
the last meeting to host the Forum in June 2007 and for the coming
year to offer another round of education days. The committee is
pleased to confirm that Richard Wright, editor of Hearth and Home
Magazine will be one of our special guest speakers – the education
days are tentatively planned for the week of June 5th, 2006.
