Marketing specialists seek J
_ participants for seminar

“Seminars don’t work. We

should know that because we use:

them.”

After that introduction Peter
Gray of Newport Marketing and
Communications began telling a
group of local businessmen why

they should sign for Newport’s

seminar to be held in Terrace in
a few weeks.

_ Gray, speaking to a luncheon
meeting’ of the Terrace and
District Chamber of Commerce
Jan. 18, told his. audience that
Newport’s seminars are dif-
ferent because they emphasize
‘‘practical information that can
be used’’ rather than business
theory. The Terrace seminar will
cover marketing, sales, stress
Management ‘and ‘financial
‘management for businesses. A

specific date has not yet been.

determined.

Newport uses what Gray
termed ‘‘non-traditional plan-
ning’? and referred to the
‘‘story-boarding”? approach

originated by Walt Disney to
track the progress of projects.
Two of the speakers for the
seminar will be Harold Taylor,
who Gray called ‘‘the best time-
managament leader in-Canada”’,
and Newport’s president Bill
Gibson, |

_ . Gray also noted that the fee

for the seminar is being sub-
sidized up to 75 percent by the
‘Canada Employment Centre
and staff members of businésses
can attend free if management
personnel sign up.

Gray was a resident of Terrace
from 1963 to 1978, when he
moved to Vancouver.
