First, access to leading experts in sales and business development that I am able put into immediate action. Second, skills and techniques I’ve found useful for improving communications in my personal life. And, third, meeting decision makers in businesses that are potential customers and business contacts.” Bailey said the benefits have been evidenced in his performance, “I don’t think it’s a coincidence that I’m experiencing my best year in sales with a 31% increase prior to IES&BD.” The IES&BD monthly programs start with networking and hot breakfast at 7:30 a.m. at the USA Today/Gannett Headquarters in McLean.
