Some of Ireland’s leading marketing and content professionals will share their experience and expertise at IT Sligo’s annual Marketing Conference on Friday, February 12th.
The ‘Sale or Fail’ Marketing Conference will bring together sales marketing and content professionals to learn from one another to improve innovation on their teams. Because marketing strategists and creative designers rely on one another in equal measure to communicate their messages and achieve their respective goals, this unique conference encourages insightful collaboration.
“Selling in today’s environment is tough. Competition is keen and customers are more educated than ever before,” says Ann Higgins, Head of Department of Marketing, Tourism and Sport at IT Sligo.
“It doesn’t make any difference if the word ‘salesperson’ is in your title or not. If you have to go out into a marketplace and create value for potential clients you are a sales person.”
The Conference will enable participants to network with thought leaders, peers, new client prospects, and potential sales team recruits. Delegates will also gather competitive intelligence for benchmarking, insight, and strategic planning.
Keynote speakers on the day will include:
John Elliott – Pfizer Healthcare Ireland
Current President of the Medical Representative Institute of Ireland (MRII). Sales professional for 25 years with a career covering retail to Pharmaceutical sales.
