Repeat your best sales call...Every time.
You know...when you 'had them at Hello'. The times when it was a sales call that felt like a conversation. When both of you could feel a connection every step of the way, and you knew you were not just making a sale…you were making a friend.
GDA was by far best in class compared to anything offered by any other vendor in the industry. The sales, marketing and management skills that GDA provided to Hewlett Packard and its Dealers would be highly valuable to students and alumni seeking effective sales and customer-facing careers in any industry.
