Dedicated sessions at the Jan. 19-21 conference in Las Vegas will help industry executives and sales leaders develop strategic plans and create sales systems for success in 2015 and beyond.

East Rutherford, N.J. - The AMSP/NAPL/NAQP Executive Leadership Summit, Jan. 19-21, 2015, at The Wynn-Las Vegas, will feature two unique tracks on Strategic Planning and Sales that will help graphic communications industry executives and sales leaders create strategic plans and sales systems for success in the year ahead. (Note: Friday, Dec. 19, is the deadline for taking advantage of a free VIP Package Upgrade offer.)

The step-by-step Strategic Planning Track will help anyone in an executive management position learn how to build a strategic plan for their business, from understanding the need for planning to getting the right planning tools, building a planning framework, and determining opportunities available for transforming a business model.

“Success begins with a solid business blueprint, and the Executive Leadership Summit’s Strategic Planning Track offers printing, mailing, and fulfillment executives a five-session immersion course in strategic planning,” says AMSP/NAPL/NAQP Chief Operating Officer J. Kenneth Garner. “If you have ever struggled with planning or wanted to make the planning process less stressful, this track will give you the tools you need to create a 2015 plan that will meet your current business needs and prepare you for future possibilities.”

Led by sales expert Bill Farquharson, the conference Sales Track will provide sales executives and managers with a roadmap for creating a sales development system that will help them set, meet, and even exceed their 2015 sales goals. The track includes sessions on finding sales personnel for today’s industry needs, setting salespeople up for success, creating the best sales environment, and building an effective sales team.

The two-and-a-half day Executive Leadership Conference, the industry’s ultimate thought leadership conference for printers, mailers, fulfillment, and marketing service providers, will be co-located with EFI Connect, Jan. 20-23. Both conferences will share some informative sessions and networking social events that will be open to all Executive Leadership Conference attendees. 

The conference will also feature two informative sessions on fulfillment automation strategies and product options for growing a fulfillment business, as well as a number of general sessions on leadership, marketing, and business transformation, and a State of the Industry report from AMSP/NAPL/NAQP Senior Vice President and Chief Economist Andrew Paparozzi.

There will also be two general sessions on postal and mailing issues: AMSP/NAPL/NAQP postal expert Leo Raymond will offer a Postal and Legislative Update and a U.S. Postal Service representative will present a Postal Service Update, a brief review of current U.S. Postal Service strategies.
