Sales And Marketing Seminars

wpc07834

If you were going to attend a Sales and Marketing Siminar, what topics would you like to see covered?

Ex: Presentation, recruiting, Motivating, Trade shows, canvassing etc?
Any input would be great.

I participate in as many as I can, on all of the topics listed, which are usually free when sponsored by a vendor, depending on the area the seminar is being held at.

Contact the material suppliers and vendors and you will usually find out about some that you were never made aware of.

I have done exactly that.

Point out to them, the benefits that they will receive by being proactive in leading the contractors that purchase from them will be.

Wouldn't they like their contractors to make more profit, so that they can pay their bills on a more timely basis?

Often times, the Free seminar may actually cost a small fee, but be reimbursed with Manufacturers Rebates equaling or doubling the cost of admission to the seminar, being furnished by the manufacturer who is sponsoring the event.

They all win, because it creates additional brand recognition for their products and also as an advocate for the contractors financial well being, plus they have guaranteed additional sales of their products as well.

Further, industry statistics formerly have claimed that only as few as around 5% of all rebate coupons actually get turned in, so they did not even have that cost associated with the seminar, yet still received the contractor approval rating from being there for them when they were needed.

Also, you may even suggest a high profile speaker to lead the event, which makes their work even easier to get things rolling.

Make it easy for them and show them the benefits in it for them and they will gladly partake.
