Business Development, Marketing & Sales Committee

Mission Statement

"Educate and connect the region's high-tech business development, marketing and sales professionals."

About Us

The Business Development, Marketing & Sales Committee promotes good content and good people. The committee’s activities draw together the region's most intelligent, motivated business development, marketing and sales professionals.

With our annual program we address the effective "how-to's" of getting companies in front of their customers and closing deals. Our new "Excellence in Sales and Marketing" series consists of monthly forums where we bring in expert speakers to update us on critical trends in the industry. These meetings can also offer compelling real-world case studies. We organize networking events to bring together high-level, accomplished individuals to expand our networks of key people.

Our committee is energized and growing - this is an exciting place to be. Get involved today!

We serve you on a regular basis through our monthly meetings, events, publications, and networking opportunities.

Excellence in Sales and Marketing Series

We meet on the second Friday of every month. At each meeting we invite an expert speaker from the area to talk to us about cutting edge topics, trends in the industry and ways for us to hone our professional skills. There is also a case study from a member company, and time for networking each meeting.

EVENTS AND NETWORKING

For the program year, the committee has designed three workshop-style seminars to bring attendees' products and services successfully in front of customers and close deals. From strategic marketing strategy to specific marketing tactics and sales techniques that work, these seminars should not be missed. Your customers are waiting!
