The virtual sales conference for promotional products professionals. Amp your sales. Up your game.
RegisterSales growth is a passion that never stops. And, sales, as we have known it, is dramatically changing. And yet, with volatility comes opportunity. New demands from the client, new technologies, a volatile market, and new methods for reaching our prospects and customers have left many of us compass-less: we need new strategies and a bold infusion of fresh tactics, and strategies that move the needle despite setbacks!
In 2019, we created a 4-city tour of LA, NYC, Chicago, and Dallas and shared with max-capacity crowds in each market that we were not interested in helping distributors steal more revenue from each other, rather, we wanted to challenge them to think bigger, and now, we’re taking this tour worldwide by bringing it straight to you, in your home.
commonsku Sessions at Home is the promotional products industry’s only virtual conference for distributors and suppliers dedicated to thriving in sales. And now, more than ever, it’s time to refuel, refocus, and re-energize ourselves and our teams to make sales growth a passion again. Join us as we explore how to harness the radical winds of change into a force to be reckoned with ... get ready to grow!
Client demands are more strategic than ever before. Join us to learn about the new strategy required to lead your sales team to success.
New selling skills are required to navigate a new world. Join us to learn how to master the new sales toolkit.
Your role is more important for sales than ever before as marketing is now a client-facing role shared through digital experiences. Come learn how to connect marketing with sales to amp the client experiences!
By his 35th birthday, MIKE MICHALOWICZ (pronounced mi-‘kal-o-wits) had founded and sold two multi-million dollar companies. Confident that he had the formula to success, he became an angel investor…and proceeded to lose his entire fortune.
Then he started all over again, driven to find better ways to grow healthy, strong companies. Among other innovative strategies, Mike created the “Profit First Formula”, a way for businesses to ensure profitability from their very next deposit forward.
Mike is now running his third million-dollar venture, is a former small business columnist for The Wall Street Journal; is the former MSNBC business make-over expert; is a popular keynote speaker on innovative entrepreneurial topics, and is the author of Profit First, Surge, The Pumpkin Plan and The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur, which BusinessWeek deemed “the entrepreneur’s cult classic.”
Danny Rosin is a pathological optimist. He is a tireless connector focused on social innovation and fueling the power of marketing. With over 25 years’ experience in philanthropy and marketing, he is focused on developing teams to help brands realize higher aspirations that will have a positive and sustainable impact on for-profit and nonprofit organizations.
With his 30+ year friend and business partner, Robert, he is deeply invested in growing Reciprocity Road, a $220-Million distributor-supplier partnership, with a strong corporate social responsibility initiative called “BrandGood.”
Outside Brand Fuel, Danny is the active co-founder of Band Together , a volunteer-driven organization that has donated over $10 million to 19 nonprofits through The Southeast’s largest charitable concert event. The model? Partnership philanthropy.
