Last week we had the pleasure to meet a lot of great sales people during our first official Pipeliner Business Cocktail event in Marina del Ray, Los Angeles.
The Idea
“Share and empower the others!”
We started organizing the pipeliner Business Cocktails to bring together sales people and get them to empower their piers. If you ever join our PBC, you will enjoy a wonderful networking opportunity to meet marketing and sales professionals in order to share your ideas and knowledge concerning sales with them. Most of all, you will be able to enjoy valuable presentations from speakers who are absolute experts in the field o sales. If you want to improve sales in your company, PBC is the ideal way to go.
The Topic – Can you Increase Sales Through Innovation?
The main topic of this first event was to discuss how sales organizations have evolved over the last years due to market and technology changes and how to turn those changes into opportunities in order to land the big deals we are all looking for.
The Speakers
We have been lucky to gather three exceptional speakers: Bob Lodie, Tom Searcy and Nikolaus Kimla
★ Bob Lodie a EVP, Sales & Marketing at iDealResponse, presented a powerful keynote on “How technology and innovation are changing the game for sales organizations!” He started his speech with the following question:
