You need to be prepared to reach the right people with the right verbiage to capture their attention and imagination immediately.

Marketing and Sales. Communicate with customers and close deals, easy right? If only. Marketers and salespeople are often pitted against each other, pursuing competing goals and wondering what the other spends all day doing.

In this interactive team talk, we will use a Prisoner’s Dilemma-style game to show attendees/participants why it’s in the best interests of marketers and salespeople to work together. We will also explore the natural differences that cause them to move in opposing directions. This talk will include best practices in each of these disciplines and case studies to learn from.

In March, much of the world went home as the coronavirus transformed the way we live, work, and do business. In the midst of mind-bending changes to our realities, real-time communication became paramount as events were cancelled, unemployment claims skyrocketed, and travel came to a halt.

In this session, hear from four seasoned communications experts who work with the media on a daily basis, as they share how they're adapting to enhance brand reputations. You'll walk away with a better understanding on what you can do to market your own business responsibly and compassionately.
