Sales Meetings
Sales meetings are one of the most important ways to reach our sales team.
Scheduled six times a year, our team assembles to gain the knowledge of new
products, training, and market trends. We have different opportunities and formats
to our meetings and are constantly evolving our meetings to better utilize the
vendors and train the sales team.
Formats

Break Out Trainings -training sessions with smaller groups usually about 15
minutes each supplier usually no more than 4 per meeting.
Sampling Sessions - foods show style sampling session as well as new item
innovations
Guidelines
Only allowed to show items that are stocked and ready for the sales
consultants to sell when they leave the meeting.

10 Managers when preparing POS and samples.
