It has always struck me as odd that there’s not an event, conference or association in the building materials world that will challenge your thinking and give you fresh insights about marketing building materials.
That’s why I’ve created The Building Materials Sales and Marketing Workshop. Our industry is different. Quirky. Sometimes it’s a tough nut to crack.
What’s more, you need to keep your team sharp. I will disrupt their thinking about your customers and how to spend your marketing dollars.
Let me bring The Building Materials Sales & Marketing Workshop to you.
I can bring the workshop to your entire sales and marketing team in the location of your choice. This is perfect for sales meetings or an in-house session to challenge the assumptions of your team and grow your sales.
I share my insights on commercial and residential as well as new construction and repair/remodel markets. We’ll talk about sales strategies, working with agencies and getting results. There will be plenty of opportunities for feedback and questions and the opportunity to gain industry insight.
This isn’t a death-by-PowerPoint extravaganza, but you will gain powerful takeaways, tools and strategies that we can personalize for your company’s needs.
We won’t be boring you with facts and figures that are easily available from other sources. We will be teaching you how to identify who the key decision maker is in each channel and how to convert them. It’s less talking AT you and more working WITH you.
I can customize the message, engage your teams and help them better understand how they can more effectively sell your building material products.
I can tailor the workshop to the subjects and length that you would like. And I do it in a fun, upbeat and motivating way.
