It has nothing to do with climbing on roofs or bringing home a major client. For Craig it’s all about seeing his sales reps get their first sale. “Some of the best success I’ve seen is when they close that first deal. It’s amazing what it does to motivate them,” said Craig.
Craig was part of the all-star presenter team who gave their time and energy at Synergy Solution Group’s first Sales Summit held on Sept. 7-11th in Atlanta. More than 40 sales professionals attended to hear best practices and ideas about leadership from Steve Thomas, how to develop active listening skills from Mike Nichols (ACIS), how relationship selling leads to financial selling from Dave Dickens (Interstate Mechanical), and understanding value and differentiation from Steven Horwood (Neelands Refrigeration).
Over the course of the session the theme centered around understanding why we do what we do, overcoming the stigma of the typical sales person, and continuing to build relationships with fellow Synergy members.
