Marketing and Business Advice for Trading Assistants
This workshop will be held on Monday, April 3rd from 11:00 PT to 12:00 PT. Please join Daniel Nissanoff, prominent entrepreneur and author of the new bestselling book "FutureShop", as he discusses how eBay is creating an "auction culture" that will soon change the way consumers think about their possessions. Mr. Nissanoff believes that as more and more people gain easier access to eBay, we will start using our possessions more efficiently, trading up to newer things more frequently by selling our older things while they still have value. Join us to learn how Trading Assistants are uniquely positioned to take advantage of this development.
