Rainmaker 2019: The Sales Revolution Has Begun

There’s been a fundamental shift in customer expectations. Sales is no longer about pushing products or hitting a number — it’s about connecting with customers to understand their problems and offering the solutions they truly need.

Embrace a new mindset, and transform your sales process to deliver more than a number. To be inspired. Together, we can launch a sales revolution.

At Rainmaker 2019, the Sales Engagement conference, the focus will be on breaking away from the pack. Our leaders and speakers are here to provide direction on why and how sales professionals should manage the transformation. Our pledge is to help elevate the sales community. To reject the status quo. To stage a sales revolution.
