Rev Lunch & Learn: Sales for Startups
2020-10-16 12:00 - 13:00 | Online
Steve Gal, seasoned entrepreneur and professor, will lead a workshop focused on sales as it relates to startups.
Sales – the generation of revenue – is perhaps the most important function for the success of a business. Revenue is what pays for everything else that a profitable business does – marketing, accounting, finance, administration – everything. Yet “take a look at the curricula of the world’s top-ranked business schools, and you might come away with the impression that sales is unimportant. Most MBA programs offer no sales-related courses at all, and those that do offer only a single course in sales management. Even at the undergraduate level of business instruction, sales courses are sparse.”
-Harvard Business Review, Teaching Sales, July-August 2012.
Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the session.

Webinar: Sharing the Screen, Best Practices for Virtual Events
2020-07-29 13:00 - 14:00
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, much of our daily lives now occurs online. This transition has forced teams to pivot from holding in-person events and meetings to running virtual versions via the internet. We all know that virtual experiences are different, but are there ways to ensure they are as effective, if not more effective, than physical events? What are the key contrasts between hosting an event online and in person? When does it make sense to produce an event live versus streaming it pre-recorded? What are best practices? How can we, both as organizers and attendees, make the most of virtual events? Gain insights on this new reality from a panel of industry professionals and experts, and get a chance to have your own questions answered.
Panelists:

Susan Fussell, Professor, Department of Information Sciences and Communication at Cornell University
Ashley Budd, Director of Marketing Operations, University Alumni Affairs and Development at Cornell University
Roberta Sumner, Principal, VRS Meetings & Events, Inc.

CREA Webinar Series: Clean Energy and COVID-19 - Green Priorities for the Economic Recovery
2020-06-04 11:00 - 12:00 | Online
Join this eCornell Keynote webinar hosted by Cornell’s Center for Regional Economic Advancement and Cornell’s ILR School.
Event Overview
The COVID-19 global pandemic has caused sectors of manufacturing, travel, and other work to grind to a halt worldwide. This pause has resulted in significant changes to energy use and carbon emissions. With lockdowns now being lifted, more and more businesses will reopen and we’ll all try to return to our normal social and travel activities.
But the climate crisis will still be waiting for us when the pandemic ends, and it’s our responsibility to ensure that economic recovery is done with the health of the planet in mind. Can we balance clean energy goals with the need to rebuild our economies? Should we be focused on returning to “normal,” or can we instead see this as an opportunity to progress toward “better”?
This panel of clean energy planners, policy influencers, and leaders will detail some of the most important clean energy efforts and goals to focus on during the next year amid the ongoing pandemic and recovery.

Lara Skinner, Executive Director of The Worker Institute at Cornell
