appario-Presentation with the Singapore Indian Chamber of Industry & Commerce 16th May 2013
From prospect to client - streamline your sales approach & increase your profits
With companies facing increasing competitive pressure, new ways must be found to improve the productivity of sales operations - many businesses suffer from an un-coordinated sales and advisory approach. This presentation is a first impression of an easy-to-implement advisory & follow-up tool. It makes sure that your company keeps the client information, that your sales-team presents your business in a professional manner, that your staff is motivated and, as a result, that you increase your sales results!
About the speaker:
Lars Culmann is appario’s founder and head of training, Lars relies heavily on his twenty years of experience in client-facing advisory, sales and wealth management roles at some of the world’s top financial institutions and in the manufacturing industry. He has worked extensively in sales, advising and training in both the United States and Europe before moving to Singapore in 2007. The move from practicing to training others came as a natural and logical next step to him.
