Tuesday, March 16, 2021, 8:00 – 11:30 a.m.
Many leaders throughout distribution get caught up in the day-today and lose sight of what is possible. Great Leadership & Professional Development begins with vision. As a leader it is incumbent upon you to clearly define a future reality - what you and your team are ultimately working towards. Your ability to craft a meaningful, inspiring, and relevant vision is the difference between stasis and change, plateauing and growth, triviality, and significance. In this course you will explore why visions are so important to Leadership & Professional Development, how to craft your vision, and how to effectively keep your team’s eye on the future as they perform today. By the end of the course you will have mapped out the outline of your vision.

Selling Through Tough Times
Paul Reilly
As a sales professional, you know that it’s harder to sell in tough times―whether it’s a recession, industry-wide challenge, or global pandemic. You may also have noticed that some salespeople and managers not only survive but thrive through tough times. How do they do it? What do they do to thrive through adversity?
Paul Reilly explains it all in Selling Through Tough Times: Customers buy differently in tough times, so salespeople need to sell differently in tough times. In this eye-opening and indispensable guide, he shows how to develop the right mindset and adapt your skills to prevail in even the most challenging selling climate. His plan includes both immediate, hands-on action plans (including six Daily Mental Flex activities) as well as longer-range strategies to ensure you (and your team) never get caught on the back foot again.
While the principles of selling are constant, Reilly demonstrates how changing your tactics in tough times will not only help you through current difficulties but help you emerge stronger. You’ll discover how to redefine value in customer terms, reposition products and services, and how employ different persuasion tactics. You’ll also learn how to select and pursue the right opportunities, win more deals, and―crucially―protect profit by embracing the “tough timers” mental attitude.
Tough times are inevitable and often unpredictable. But in Selling Through Tough Times, you’ll find the tools and mindset you need to power through them―and come out on top.
