Find the ‘Passion to Succeed’ at APRO’s keynote address

APRO 2010 Keynote Address: The Passion to Succeed, The Power to Break Barriers
Jeremiah Wilson, ContactPoint

9–11 a.m., Wednesday, July 21
Sponsored by GE Consumer & Industrial and Simmons

This keynote address won’t put audience members on the edge of their seats—it will stand them on the tips of their toes.

“The Passion to Succeed, The Power to Break Barriers” will emphasize that we are responsible for our own success. Too often, excuses and complaints block companies from being their best. APRO’s keynote address will offer plenty of practical insights to help you do more and avoid making excuses.

Keynote speaker Jeremiah Wilson introduced his patented remote monitoring device, the Maculon, and the Sales Mentor System in 2001; it revolutionized sales and service training. Prior to founding ContactPoint, he served as a national sales and customer service training specialist and was assistant to the counselor of economics at the embassy of the Czech Republic. He holds a BA in International Relations from Brigham Young University.
