6:00 - 7:00 PM
Tuesday - Sept 24
7:30- 8:30 AM
Breakfast Convention Check-In
8:30 - 9:00 AM
Top Echelon President/CEO Mark Demaree welcomes you to Canton, Oh for the Top Echelon Fall Conferences where networking is done at its finest. Mark will give an review of what has happened over the last two years with the company, the software and what changes we have to look forward to; all for the best interest of you. Drea Codispoti, Network Director will then guide you through the Convention Events and help everyone understand how to maximize their networking efforts at the convention.
9:00 - 10:15 AM

Sustained success in sales requires several key components: consistent activity, willingness to learn, likeability and sociability, and persistence just to name a few. But one area that is often overlooked is adopting the right mindset with our sales approach. In this session, we will actually cover not one, but four mindsets that can turbocharge you and your team’s sales results. 

1.      Performance – Do we want to perform at a high level, do we know what we need to do to get there, and are we willing to do what’s needed over and over again?

2.      Value – How do we approach prospects from a value perspective rather than a selling approach?

3.      Long Game – Are we approaching sales activity with a transactional method (as almost all do), or do we approach sales with a long game mindset that provides residual benefits that build over our career?

4.      Mastery – How do we get better every day, becoming more and more productive with the same amount of time?

Join us for this timely and engaging session as Tom Erb, author of Winning the Staffing Sales Game, discusses how to get your sales organization to effectively adopt each of the four sales mindsets. You’ll walk away from this session with renewed excitement, optimism, and a strategy for consistently driving more sales in a more personally and professionally fulfilling way.
