The conference proved to be helpful, informative, and inspiring to Constant’s Sales and Marketing team. Heather Conover, Senior Project Manager, said “At Constant, we are always striving to bring our clients the best possible customer experience. Conferences like the Growth Acceleration Summit give us the chance to collaborate with other industry leaders as well as learn new tools to enhance our sales and marketing efforts. As a console furniture manufacturer and mission critical audio/visual integrator, we operate in a niche environment. It’s essential that we keep on the cutting edge to keep potential clients aware of our brand and how we can help them bring their operation center integration projects to the next level.”

Sales and Marketing Associate, Kelly Okerson added, “It’s important for each team member at Constant to remain up to date on the latest trends in the industry, especially as it pertains to their particular role. Not only does our sales and marketing team need to have sufficient knowledge of video wall systems and the latest in technology furniture so that we can communicate what our engineers, designers, and installers can do; we also need to ensure we effectively communicate in a way that resonates with our client base. Attendance at conferences such as ZoomInfo’s Growth Acceleration Summit reinvigorates our sales and marketing professionals. At the end of the day, we walked away with new tools to explore and refreshed creativity.”

“It would be hard to name just one highlight,” Okerson continued. “Each speaker had a unique perspective and delivery, and all of them had relevant key points I am excited to incorporate with our own strategies.”

Constant Technologies looks forward to continuing to attend industry events to meet and share ideas with fellow professionals. “There’s always more to learn,” concluded Okerson.
