Luncheon Presentation
Getting Your Foot in the Door
Jill Konrath, president, LEAPFROG Strategies.

It’s never been tougher to get your foot in the door of large companies. Overworked and
stressed-out decision makers have little time to meet with sellers just to learn about their offering or discuss their needs.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:
• Develop a strong value proposition that captures the attention of corporate buyers.
• Leverage the power of ideas to entice prospective buyers to meet with you.
• Implement an effective account entry campaign.

If you’re tired of fruitless attempts to get into big companies, this SME session is just what you need. Join us for this luncheon session to hear Jill discuss how to get your foot in the door.
