High Performance Sales College

June 19-20, 2012
Sheraton Brookfield Hotel | Brookfield, WI

This highly successful AEM Sales College delivers hard-hitting content about becoming more efficient, understanding your customers’ bottom line and identifying solutions to meet customers’ needs.  It was created for District Managers who sell equipment and was designed to teach them to better manage their territories, maintain and enhance current relationships, and increase profit margins.

Is your sales and marketing team playing to win... or playing just to not lose?

In this program, facilitated by Ron Black of The Mentor Group, you'll see the latest research on business-to-business buying behaviors, the long-term trends that are changing the way your customers think, and what sales and marketing professionals can do to take advantage of these opportunities. Tune up your sales and marketing strategies, systems, and tactics and build market share in today's rapidly changing, challenging, and abundant environment. Ron understands the equipment industry, distribution patterns and working with dealers. He will provide tools and information that will drive territory managers to the core of customers' needs.
