Fox Den Live!

Hi Fox Den Members,

We are fresh back from our first annual Fox Den Live! event-- it was a great success!

On May 26, more than 20 sales executives from leading companies joined us at our Chicago headquarters for a day of learning, sharing, and networking.  Fox Den members from all over the country flew in to share best practices and experiences with us, while we provided some insights from Holden's landmark 12-year study and findings from research analyst Peter Ostrow of Aberdeen Group. 

The day began with a welcome lunch (in Marshall Field's residential ballroom!) and then the group proceeded to another area of the headquarters for an open exchange on the sales profession.

To kick off the discussion, Jim Holden and Ryan Kubacki presented the topic of "Making the Sales Force a Competitive Advantage" which included some findings from Holden's landmark 12-year study of the sales profession.

Following some discussion, Peter Ostrow, Senior Research Analyst from Aberdeen Group, presented some of his findings from his annual benchmark report.  He shared with the group what Best-in-Class companies do differently compared to industry averages.

The event concluded with a cocktail reception where guests were given the opportunity to network with other sales professionals from companies like Microsoft, Intel, PTC, William Blair, CDW, Kraft, eChalk, and many others.

Another big THANK YOU to all participants for making our first event wildly successful!  We appreciate your enthusiasm and support!

Stay tuned for more pictures from the event and to learn more about the next one!
