One of several "Monsters of Sales" on hand to coach independent retailers
(CHICAGO, IL) NOVEMBER 14, 2011: The SMART Jewelry Show Chicago is bringing some of the world's top sales experts to its 2012 show. Collectively billed as the "Monsters of Sales", the experts will share with jewelers powerful new sales techniques as well as essential principles for building lasting customer relationships.
Headlining the special series is the author of four The New York Times bestsellers, including The Sales Bible, Jeffrey Gitomer. A master of sales, customer loyalty and personal development, Jeffrey is renowned for giving audiences information they can profit from immediately. And he does so in the funny, in-your-face style that landed him next to Art Linkletter, Colin Powell and Zig Ziglar in the National Speaker Association’s Speaker Hall of Fame.
"At INSTORE, we've always made it our mission to bring jewelers not only the industry's best experts, but also the world's best," said David Squires, Group Editorial Director for SmartWork Media. "That way, we're able to consistently refresh the pool of ideas in our industry and stay ahead of other businesses. To be able to extend that approach to our trade show by bringing in world-famous speakers like Jeffrey Gitomer is an exciting step for us."
Other "Monsters of Sales" include:
Harry Friedman
An international retail authority, bestselling author and consultant, Harry's groundbreaking high-performance training systems have been used by over 500,000 retailers, including jewelers from Cartier and Swatch to the smallest independents, to routinely deliver more sales. His appearance is sponsored by The Friedman Group.
Jim Ackerman
A renowned marketing speaker, coach, author and copywriter who specializes in direct response and alternative marketing, Jim helps independent jewelers dramatically increase sales and profits through smarter, results-driven, "genetically engineered" sales systems. His April 23 session is sponsored by Lashbrook.
Shane Decker
President of Ex-Sell-Ence, Shane Decker Sales Academy, and regular INSTORE contributor, Shane teaches retailers the anatomy of a sale, how to handle objections, closing skills, the art of the turnover, to recognize sales profiles and much more — all with the fervor of a televangelist.
The SMART Show features top-of-class vendors in every key category, meaning retailers can take what they learn and apply it to their buying strategy even before leaving the building.
"Monsters of Sales couldn't fit more perfectly with our show's mission, which is to help retailers buy smarter and sell better," said Jim Reed, Show Director. "We're confident that retailers who attend will find The SMART Jewelry Show to be the most productive, most valuable three days of their year."
Sessions start on April 20 (one day prior to the opening of the show), and run throughout the show.
