Additional Sales Pro meetings planned
Due to the overwhelmingly positive reaction to STAFDA's six Sales Pro meetings offered earlier this year and member demand, STAFDA and industry sales expert Tom Reilly are planning four more Sales Pro workshops this fall.
Dates and locations are: Sept. 11, Marriott Anaheim Suites, Garden Grove, CA; Sept. 18, Hilton Toronto Airport, ON; Sept. 20, Hilton Minneapolis/ St. Paul - Mall of America; and Sept. 25, Embassy Suites Denver International. Airport.
The Sales Pro workshops expand on the book, Sales Pro, by providing members with tools to help drive profitable sales. Reilly surveyed hundreds of STAFDA salespeople, sales managers and end users to determine best practices of high-performance outside salespeople. Sales Pro is the result of that research. The book and workshops are designed for sales managers and salespeople - both inside and outside - at any career level.
Attendees will review the best sales practices and learn how to use them to improve their personal selling skills.
Attendees' comments on evaluation forms from the first round of workshops have been very positive. Here are a couple of the hand-written notes from participants: "This is a great course for someone who is new to the sales world and also to the veteran of the business."
"Great info! As a new member to the industry, I can't wait to hit the streets and use the information in Sales Pro."
Registration fees for the one-day workshops (8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.) are $150 per person. This includes a continental breakfast, lunch, breaks and a copy of Sales Pro. You must be a STAFDA member to participate.
