Rainmaker 2019 is coming up fast! This year, the sales engagement conference is going to be bigger and better than ever.
This opportunity to learn and exchange ideas is like drinking from a sales firehose – there is a lot to take in. We’re here to help you network your way through 2000 sales professionals and select your best track among 44 sessions. With 100+ speakers, it’s not a task to take on alone!
In addition to the general sessions and keynotes, Rainmaker will offer 4 tracks for sales professionals. Each track consists of 11 sessions. For many of you, you’ll be able to select a track and spend your time in those specific sessions.
For others, it’s not that simple. Maybe you’re not a sales pro, a sales ops star, or a sales leader. Maybe you are, but you have a variety of interests. Or, you’re looking to learn a new aspect of the sales profession. That’s just fine! We understand.
This guide is for you.
