Could you benefit from increased sales volume?

Imagine a “sales funnel,” where some leads become prospects and some prospects become customers. Many businesses invest in lead generation to increase sales, when adjusting other variables with little or no financial investment may be more effective. In Five Strategies to Increase Profits, K.P. Persaud of ActionCoach will share insight on increasing your revenue without spending a lot of money. Learn strategies to:

* Increase lead generation, drive lead conversions, attract more frequent purchases, strategize price increases, and enhance up selling.

A class exercise will demonstrate that a 10 percent increase in five variables of sales and marketing can lead to a 46 percent increase in revenue and a 61 percent increase in profit.

The session will take place Wednesday, July 27 from 7:30-9 a.m. at Hill Bank and Trust Company in Iowa City. Part of the Chamber's Expert Edge Seminar Series sponsored by Raymond James Financial Services Inc. / James Investment Group, Inc.Register now >>
