Channel Link: Setting A New Bar For Success
Tech Data’s Spring Channel Link conference, at the Rosen Shingle
Creek in Orlando April 13 – 14, will feature keynote speaker,
David Nour, author of the book Relationship Economics. David
offers a fresh perspective on the art and science of relationships.
Networking is difficult and time-consuming; instead, you need to
focus on, invest in, nurture and grow key relationships for both
personal and professional success. Using anecdotes and examples
from his own experience, David’s keynote will share his proactive
approach to selecting, building and nurturing relationships, and he
will explain how you can turn everyday interactions into customer,
revenue, alliance partnership, employee and shareholder value.
In addition to David’s presentation and workshops, attendees
will learn about proven sales and marketing strategies as well
as tools and techniques from a wide range of thought leaders.
Workshops and learning sessions will range from social
marketing trends, to relationship mapping, to strategic account
planning and much more. Channel Link will connect you with
the right sales and marketing tools, vendors and products so you
can better engage your customers and deliver better results—
and higher profits. To learn more about Channel Link, please
