3. Problems and concerns from 2016 9:30 AM - 10:15 AM
Description Each manager will discuss what issues they experienced in the
2015 fiscal year
General Comment All in all, sales were good, the FR Market experienced a downturn,
so we will need to address this for any possible solutions.
3.1. Strategies to overcome problems that were experienced in 2015
Description Each manager is responsible for coming up with solutions and

strategies to overcome the issues from 2012, so they will not be a
factor in 2013.
Bob Johnson We found success by focusing on niche markets and creating

marketing campaigns targeting high need areas.
Christina Merrild The FR market is becoming very difficult to get sales in, so we are
exploring more exhibitions to locate a potential market sector that
has the funds to purchase.
Tom Witworth In a quick review of my numbers the DE market is strong and sales
were good, however we were lucky with 2 big deals. This may not
happen next year.
Conclusion All strategies presented were good. It is clear that each

territory needs to set aside 1 day for new strategy
brainstorming. It is also clear that these strategies need to be
evaluated to see what is working and what is not.
4. Break 10:15 AM - 10:30 AM
5. Sales and management tips, tricks and best practices 10:30 AM - 11:15 AM
Bob Johnson It is mandatory that at minimum 1 day per week is set aside for new
strategies. Each manager should evaluate what is working, and if
there are any spinoff markets that could be focused on. That has
proved successful in the US and UK. We are also leveraging our
referral sources to stimulate new business.
Christina Merrild A strong economy has led to success in DE, however we have
targeted key areas of economic growth where we see our products
providing solutions for issues. Localtrade journals listed a large
number of organizations as well as contact names and numbers,
and we are using this to create direct marketing campaigns to
target those areas.
Tom Witworth We located specific areas of training organizations that are
particularly interesting.
6. New product ideas for development 11:15 AM - 12:00 AM
General Comment With our current product offering, we have seen a trend towards
more cloud based systems. Desktop software is still a powerful
asset to an organizaton, but cloud technology seems to be the
trend for the future.
Tom Witworth We should make a module that ties in social media likes with
Google searches so that users can create custom search
campaigns targeting specific requirements set for in an RFP.
Anne Summers A product that allows users manage their workforce in a pro-active
manner would be great. Some type of system that ties in HR to
sales figures. Since sales reps are only rated on their budgets, it
would be nice to be able to rate their performance on other HR
related parameters.
Conclusion There were some good product ideas. It is clear that cloud
technology is becoming more and more popular and we
should keep this in mind when developing new products. I
think it warrants a second meeting to focus specifically on new
product ideas.
