Moving up to the next level requires training. At this year's Supplier Forum, we will pair you with 10 hand-picked supplier coaches from across several product categories to train you for 2016 sales success.
In each training session, supplier coaches will introduce you to their team’s top products, processes, services and pass down veteran knowledge and techniques that help you sharpen your sales skills.
After being trained by the coaches, we will end the day with our new Sales Combine. Bring a project idea you are currently working on and share it with the group - via an anonymous written description. Each attendee will use the products and ideas presented during the supplier training sessions to come up with solutions for another attendee's project. Grab your sheet at the end and leave real solutions for a real project. It's the ultimate team effort!
Cost: Members $45, Non-Members $55

A Note about the Annual Meeting and Member Appreciation Luncheon:
Please join us for the RMRPPA Annual Meeting and Member Appreciation Luncheon, happening over Lunch during the Supplier Forum. This will be a fun event where we will recap all of the changes that we made last year, the events that were held and cover any official information that we need to pass along to our membership. We will be honoring members in our association that have stood out of the crowd with attendance and volunteerism. Finally you will hear about more changes and exciting events that we have coming up this year.
