On April 7, the featured speaker is Ford Saeks, whose efforts have helped companies generate a total of over a billion dollars in sales worldwide. His innovative “Market Domination Formula” modernizes the customer engagement model by applying reverse psychology: placing the influence in the buyer’s hands rather than the seller’s. This hands-on presentation exposes underutilized methods that will attract qualified prospects, secure untapped markets, create a buying culture and quickly add profits to your bottom line.
“We want our members to thrive in their business, and Conclave is their educational resource to do just that,” said Ruth Batson, CEO of the American Gem Society and AGS Laboratories. “Our lineup of keynote and featured speakers covers a range of topics crucial to any successful jewelry industry professional: leadership, management, sales, marketing and business solutions. The sessions are designed to inform and inspire with actionable items members can put to use immediately in their store.”
