July 16 and 17, 2014
La Crosse, WI<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2014, we made the bold statement and called our event the Legacy Show. Was it going to be the last, or was this just the next step towards greater things to come? The event continued to gain momentum. We stepped up our showroom floor with 69 vendors and celebrity appearances by Green Bay Packer Gilbert Brown, Jared Black, and Stephanie Hayden and Kris Ford of Sons of Guns<\/em>. John\u2019s backyard BBQ was a hit and the talk of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patrick Henry Hansen led us through an educational lecture known as “The DNA Selling Method.” Using historical references and entertaining clips to emphasize his points, Patrick taught us valuable selling philosophies and new techniques that can make any sales team stronger.

Endorsed by the likes of Dr. Stephen R. Covey, Brian Tracy, Larry King, and dozens more, it was no surprise when his professionalism and presentation inspired the crowd to practice his teachings and improve their skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAN BLACK<\/strong>

\"dan

Back by popular demand was Dan Black*, Director of Client Engagement for Tortal Training Systems. He held breakout sessions to speak about the, “science behind why some people don’t ‘get’ you.”

This humorous and enlightening discussion taught how humans communicate with each other. People walked away with a new understanding of their own tendencies and simple techniques they could use to increase their effectivenss in sales, management, leadership, or at home.

*Dan was our keynote speaker for our 2012 National Sales Meeting and agreed to return to further educate and inspire on the subject of sales.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
