Cedar Rapids, IA (Sept. 9, 2020) — GreatAmerica Financial Services Corporation and Collabrance LLC have opened registration for a new virtual sales and marketing event, GreatAmerica University Smarketing: Preparing for Your Digital Transformation. The event, slated for Oct. 21-22, is presented by a robust lineup of sales and marketing experts including keynote Zach Basner with IMPACT Brand who will deliver ‘The Digital Consumer’ as well as ‘The Selling 7 Video Workshop’ and Marcus Sheridan, Marcus Sheridan International, who will deliver a concluding message on day two.
Attendees will learn how to bridge the gap between sales and marketing to better compete and enable sales success in this ever growing virtual economy. Within the first few weeks of the pandemic in the U.S., internet traffic increased almost 70%, according to a Forbes.com article. This has created a sense of urgency for many business leaders around their online presence and related sales and marketing strategies.
“We want solution providers to gain the clarity and confidence they need to take their sales and marketing efforts to a whole new level,” states David Pohlman, executive vice president and chief operating officer, GreatAmerica Financial Services. “This event provides attendees with the framework to build shorter sales cycles, improve revenue generation and encourage collaboration between sales and marketing teams.”
As shared on the event’s landing page, during the two half-days of online training, solution providers will learn how to:
- Attract warmer leads and drive more sales through sales and marketing alignment
- Create a shared sales and marketing strategy
- Track ROI more effectively
- Generate the right content at the right time, shortening sales cycles
