Sales & Marketing Society of the Mid-South

This month we welcome Matt Ryan, Regional VP of Marketing for Harrah’s Casino. Matt’s going to talk to us about Marketing in a Competitive Environment, which is something that any sales or marketing professional can certainly relate to!

This month is unique because the board of directors has decided to allow every Sales & Marketing Society member to bring one guest free of charge! That’s right- if you are a member of the SMS, you can bring a guest to the May 20th luncheon for FREE! I hope that every member is going to take full advantage of this great offer and get some new people into the SMS that would be good prospective members!

Details of the May luncheon are available on the SMS website and you can also register through that link.

May Luncheon Sponsor- Red Rover Company
We are excited to have Red Rover Company as the sponsor for this month’s luncheon. Red Rover is a marketing and communications company, and Lori Turner from Red Rover is on the SMS board of directors. About Red Rover Company:

At RedRover our mission is to break through the attitudes, barriers and processes that hinder your sales organization’s success. Then, we re-engineer your sales organization in the spirit of our RedRover mascot to make it smart, hard-working, confident and loyal.

The result is a sales team ready to dominate its territory and taste success, while you get to savor the profits. Once the sales force is in tip-top condition, and only then, your company is finally positioned to see an attractive ROI from marketing and communications initiatives.

We’ll help there, too. We’ll use what we discovered about your industry, business and sales organization to develop marketing communications that break through a cluttered, noisy marketplace to reach the right people with the right message.

We are hosting our first After Hours event this Thursday, May 7th at Raffe’s Beer Garden.  This is going to be a great event because the SMS is actually co-hosting with two other great Memphis organizations:  AIGA Memphis and the Memphis AdFed!

Its been a long time coming, but the Sales & Marketing Society of the Mid-South finally has the blog up and running!  The purpose of this blog is to allow us to more readily communicate with our members and anyone else about upcoming events, member benefits, special discounts, sponsorship opportunities- you name it!

We will also be posting slide presentations from our guest speakers, videos from luncheons and other events, photos, and anything else we can get our hands on.  Stay tuned by subscribing to our RSS feed and we’ll make sure that you’re always in the loop with what’s happening in the word of sales or marketing.
