As business owners and salespeople, there are certain things we know we need to do each day, each week, and each month to continue to build our business and incomes. But why don’t we do them? We procrastinate, make excuses, and find other things to keep us busy until we miss our goals, disappoint our family, employees, or boss, and sometimes give up. Our speaker from Sandler Training—the sales and management experts—shares 13.5 must-do activities that most of us would admit we should do but, for some reason, we find just don’t get done.

We’ll be debuting our Association Summit, which will bring together more than a dozen association leaders to discuss the industry’s most critical and impactful topics, especially TNCs.

With Mike Fogarty of TLPA, Jeff Shanker of LANJ, and Rick Versace of FLA moderating the session and association leaders representing ILA, NELA, GCLA, and more, this inaugural event will provide a sweeping overview of how operators all over the country are combating TNCs and fighting for the integrity of the industry.
