Program Description:

Is there magic bullet to your sales team's success?  Is it the number of calls they need to make per day?  Is it their ability to “close” business?  Or, is it their attitude or their  rapport building skills?  The answer is yes to all.  Learn why a true sales team's success is and always has been defined by  a combination of factors; some more prominent than others.  It's been said that the practice of selling is indeed an art and a science.  Is it possible to create harmony between the two?   Join Dan Cole as he shares his thoughts on striking the balance between the art and science of selling.

  • I am a member of IAEE, and particularly the DC chapter of IAEE, because it is one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences I have ever encountered in this Industry. My membership with IAEE has taken me to places that I only dreamed of! Because of IAEE, I have been able to teach CEM classes all over the country and in other parts of the world! The Networking opportunities and the camaraderie of belonging to the DC chapter are HUGE benefits of membership. If I had to prioritize where to spend my “marketing dollars,” my first choice would be with IAEE.
