Qvidian,
the innovator in sales
execution solutions, today announced that their annual conference
met with rave reviews from the hundreds of customers and prospects who
attended the annual Connect 2015 conference this year held in San
Antonio, TX. Multiple keynote presentations by industry experts
including Scott Santucci of the Alexander Group, and numerous sessions
led by customers as well as expert staff, wrapped up with a half-day
session by proposal expert, Dr. Tom Sant, provided an innovative agenda
for attendees in a wide array of industries and from as far away as
Australia.
The three day conference featured a full day of hands-on training on
Qvidian’s dynamic content technology featuring Qvidian Proposal
Automation as well as its digital guided selling platform, Sales
Playbooks.
Qvidian also recognized customers who are achieving above and beyond
business results with its annual Customer Innovation Awards. “Customers

Committed to the success of its customers, Qvidian also ensured
attendees have the knowledge, insight and training necessary to achieve
their desired business outcomes. In addition, customers benefited
tremendously at the event from connecting with each other and sharing
new strategies for meeting their business objectives.
Pam DiLucente of Ellucian stated, “The only people who can truly
understand your challenges are others who do what you do. We’ve been
attending the Connect conference for years. This year, we brought seven
members of our team. Our company has been using Qvidian for over 10
years and we recently expanded into Sales Playbooks. I tell people, even
if you’re new to Qvidian, attending the conference is extremely
worthwhile. You sit next to others in who may have more experience and
can share tips and strategies with you to take the solution even farther
than you expected.”
“The main purpose of the conference is for customers to connect with one
another and share their stories,” stated Christopher Faust, Chief
Marketing Officer at Qvidian. “It’s not about us. It’s about them. Every
company is different, but are all solving similar problems. They quite
wonderfully are just solving them in completely different ways, and that
collective knowledge is powerful.”
Other customers commented: “The connections made at the Connect
Conference are invaluable. The face-to-face interaction with other
customers and being able to hear from others how they work is priceless.
I was able to gain insights and ideas that I’d never before thought of.”
Another remarked, “I love meeting people who are just starting to
implement, as well as people whose companies are 100% integrated and
running a single interface. I left with confidence and inspiration to
take our sales and proposal processes to a whole new level.”
Ninety-two percent of attendees stated a desire to attend Connect 2016,
which will be held April 4-6, 2016 in Nashville, TN.
