Many LBM dealers have relied on best practices that have helped to sustain their companies for years, decades, and even generations. But there’s no denying that the business climate is changing, which is why savvy leaders are also looking to enhance their tried and true practices with new approaches. That’s why the theme for the 2020 ProSales 100 Conference (February 26–28) is Fortify Your Foundation.
Speakers at the event will offer strategies and solutions to help senior-level LBM professionals take their business to the next level. The two-day event, held at the Live! by Loew’s in Arlington, Texas will enable attendees to learn from and network with experts, senior leaders, and peers about a variety of key LBM topics. Some of the topics covered at the event include the following:
