Manufacturers are under pressure to manage complex sales cycles, improve visibility and get more value from their CRM, but many are only scratching the surface.
Join us for an interactive conversation on how manufacturers are using CRM to better manage opportunities, streamline sales processes and improve pipeline visibility and sales execution. We’ll cover what’s working, where companies get stuck and how to turn your CRM into a more effective tool for both sales and operations.
Featuring Barb Bennett of the Stark County Manufacturing Workforce Development Partnership and Sam Karcher of TKG, this discussion will bring together real-world perspectives from both industry and practice.
Stick around after the event to network with fellow professionals and continue the conversation.
