Region Sales Meeting Sets Pace for the Rest of the Year
Posted on 05/26/2023 12:21 PM
Regional Vice President of Sales Joe Telega recently held his annual region sales meeting to review the year so far, sharpen the team’s sales tools amid an unpredictable economy and strategize how to carry the group’s speeding momentum into the end of the year and close out strong.
Not only is the current economy unpredictable, but the transportation industry itself is infamous for its volatility, with demand sporadically rising and falling, new laws and regulations introduced regularly, cutting-edge technologies hitting the scene, and the list goes on—and on. So, in order to uphold Aim’s unmatched brand of commercial fleet services, communication and a unified strategy are critical. That’s why these regional sales meetings, as well as the National Sales Meeting (held every January), are critical to Aim’s success and ultimately the success of our valued customers’ shipping operations.
