Proforma Connections

4 "The PLP Roundtables were outstanding. It's incredible to have such great Supplier Partners all in one place to discuss exciting new products and services that we can take to our clients to upsell current accounts." – Brad Spillers, Co-Owner of Proforma MVP Marketing in Katy, TX and Team 500 Member "The Missing Link to Social Selling Success session provided solid tips and proven methodology. It was great to hear Mike Beckman share his prospecting strategies. What was most interesting about it was the simplicity of the steps we need to follow to achieve similar success." – Mark Sweet, Owner of The Branding Suite powered by Proforma in Cypress, TX and Team 500 Member "The M&A Owner Panel was the BEST! Having never attempted to do a merger or acquisition, I didn't know how to start and was a little worried about the entire process. After listening to Tony Panaggio, Tracy Webb and Mike Durkee, I've gotten over my fears and am ready to get started RIGHT NOW." – Terri Winter, Owner of Proforma Winter in New York, NY and Team 500 Member FEATURED OWNERS This year at Convention, Owners were at the center of attention while they participated in breakout sessions, sat on panels and hosted roundtables as they shared their expertise on a variety of topics including how to prospect for new clients, pursue Mergers & Acquisitions, hire Sales Reps and more. Owner participants shared the good, the bad and the ugly about the strategies they've used in the past and talked about the Four Pillars of Success, wealth building activities and reaching their dreams. FEATURED SUPPLIER PARTNERS The 2016 Proforma Convention gave Owners and Sales Reps more time than ever before with the industry's top Supplier Partners through several Vendor-led sessions, two days of the MVPLP/PLP Idea Showcase, Roundtables, State-of-the Industry Luncheon and the "Minute to Win It" Product Showcase. Owners learned about this year's hottest items, industry trends, new product lines and services and Supplier Partners who have recently joined the Proforma Family as they strengthened their business partnerships. For the first time at Convention, 12 of THE BEST Owners in the industry shared their BEST ideas in a TEDx-style presentation. These Owners explained, in less than five minutes each, how they were able to earn more than $80 million in collective sales. THE BEST OWNERS & SUPPLIER PARTNERS "GREGx presented valuable information in an awesome new concept! I loved hearing from this successful group of Owners and will be using some of the concepts discussed to grow my own business." – John Keith, Owner of Proforma Identity Pros in Charlotte, NC and Million Dollar Club Member
