The Sales Generation 2012 (06 Jun 2012)

Wed, 06 Jun 2012 04:00:00 GMT

In today's ever-changing sales and marketing landscape, it can get overwhelming to figure out exactly how to grow our businesses. Sure- we learn a lot, but when it comes to implementation it can get a little tricky! We know we need to use social media, but how and when? Should we be on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Youtube, Pinterest? And what do we do once we're there? How do we turn that into business? Should we be blogging? What about SEO? And how do we incorporate mobile marketing and the new world of gamification and apps? And who has the time for all of this?

I am hosting a 3 day, in-person event The Sales Generation 2012, June 6-8 in Arlington, VA where I will help you sort through all the noise and develop a clear and actionable Customized Sales Generating Blueprint for your business. Whether your business is online or offline, selling products or service, a few of her international sales expert friends and I will help you get it done.

That's right- you won't just walk away from this event with a lot of stress-inducing notes, you will actually have pieces of your sales plan completed. You will have the opportunity to work IN and ON your business.
