For the first time ever, NCPA is offering an exclusive workshop just for exhibitors. The workshop will be led by NCPA's Senior Director of Store Operations and Marketing, Gabe Trahan:
Session Title:
Thanks for the Pens
Brief Description:
Selling can be tough, but being informed about customer needs can make it much easier. Sometimes a pharmacy owner's true reason for not buying your product seems like a big secret. If you would like help turning "not interested" or "thanks for the pens" into sales and reorders then NCPA has something for you.
Reserve your spot NOW!, please email Rachel.lightcap@ncpanet.org to get your free pass. The first 20 people sign up will be invited to email a question to Gabe about your particular product or service line. During the presentation, Gabe may reference your product or service and provide specific feedback to your question.
Date.Time.Place=To be determined
Attendee Opt-in list:
NCPA doesn't release its attendee nor its member list. In order to go around this policy, we are asking attendees that register for the show to opt-in to receive information from Exhibitors. A month out from the show you will be receiving the opt-in list, which is good for one mailing/email to the list. I will follow up after the show with another list.
