"Panel of Peers" – Secrets to Growth in Promo

Are your sales up over the past two years? If not, you may want to sit in on this hard-hitting session. Level up your game by hearing what works in today’s business environment. This is hard-hitting advice from top distributor salespeople here in New England. All of which are experiencing serious sales growth. Some of the content may be hard to hear and tough love may be dished out, but if you want to transform your business you will be here.

While many folks’ business is down recently, this groups’ sales have grown significantly. The entire panel does some serious business with some over $1MM, $2MM, & $3MM+. This is not the omnipresent, self-proclaimed experts you have seen time and time again on social media interviewing each other. These distributors often fly under the radar and have a laser focus on their business. Now is the time when they will share what really works.

We invite you to attend and learn from the best of the best. They will be sharing the strategies that are working for them and some of their "secret sauce." This is a big opportunity to learn from the people that are actually doing it. If you’re not growing, you need to sit in on this session. This is also a terrific opportunity for suppliers to learn what is working for distributors and hear what a successful distributor needs for mutual growth. Please join us!

The NEPPA Cares Fundraiser brings a great spirit of giving, and with the support of our members we are able to continue our humanitarian efforts. This year NEPPA Cares will be holding a fundraiser spotlighting a member's local charity. Further details to come.
