Thank you all for attending our fall conference! It was wonderful to have so many members join us in the Nevada desert.
On Friday afternoon, Chris Jennings coached attendees on no-nonsense, non-threatening sales and leadership approaches and best practices in on-boarding employees and customers. He helped attendees to gain a perspective on exactly what sales mistakes they are making and how to make changes.Questions: chris@chrisjenningsgroup.com
On Saturday morning, Patrick Luce, Economist with ITR Economics helped attendees prepare for the challenges and opportunities of 2023. We discussed consumer trends and market opportunities, pricing issues, labor constraints, and production costs. Patrick reviewed market outlooks that foretell upcoming cyclical turns in the economy and markets and provided insight regarding inflation, supply chain, and international trends that impact MLA member business.
