I would like see Jeffrey Gitomer, because when I was a young sales rep his “Sales Bible” helped me a lot. Now when I run my own company I give every sales rep a copy of the book when they start with us.
Good Day!
Frankly, all the speakers are worth the trip down the highway and the hotel bill! BUT JEFFREY GITOMER ON
CUSTOMER LOYALTY AND BUYING MOTIVES has my focus.
Thank you.
I definitely would want to see Jeffrey Gitomer. Every morning I read his newsletter and blog, I purchased his Little Red Book of Selling, several CD’s…Yeah, I’m a fan. He gives great “real world” tips and has an entertaining writing style.
Count me in for Jeffrey Gitomer, as well. When it come to sales, his SALES BIBLE is the bible.
It would be great to hear Frances Cole Jones speak on personal presence and making an impact with people at every interaction!! Thanks!
Frances Cole Jones has a key topic in her outline:”How to maximize your time and message in meetings “. Think of the effectiveness advantage on this one. I’d love to see her at the event!!!
Thanks..JD
I would love to see Julie Morgenstern. I first heard about her when my husband brought home a DVD by her on how to organizing the clutter in our home and she gave some excellent tips. Frankly, I see a lot of disorganized people in my workplace. I would like to come to the talk, take some notes, and bring it back to work where I can give a talk during our office’s All Hands meeting. I am sure my colleagues can benefit from a few tips.
