Virtual Networking for RSRs: Exchange Ideas and Strategies

Route Sales Representatives (RSRs) are often the face of your company, regularly engaging with customers and showcasing new products and ideas. We understand that their schedules may not always allow for off-site meetings or full-day professional development opportunities. However, they might be able to spare an hour to join a virtual event that facilitates knowledge sharing with other direct sales teams.

TRSA’s Marketing, Sales & Service Network Connections is a one-hour virtual roundtable designed to bring together service and sales teams to exchange ideas and information. The event will begin with a 20-minute kickoff Ray Shabadarian, director of service consulting, Performance Matters, a consulting firm that specializes in aligning and planning for sales and service teams.

Following the kickoff, we will break into virtual roundtables for the remaining 40 minutes. Each room will have a facilitator to guide discussions This format will provide a platform to discuss successful strategies, address pain points, and share best practices in direct selling.

This is an excellent opportunity for service managers, route sales reps, and marketing and sales team members of all levels to gain external insights and emphasize the importance of information sharing without leaving their mobile office.
