The meetings of the minds

By

The centerpiece of the fifth edition of the Pest Management Professional (PMP) Growth Summit, which took place March 30-April 1 near Orlando, Fla., was the time devoted to individual meetings between paired-off pest control firm leaders and our partner manufacturer and service companies. Each attendee was able to meet with each partner in the partners’ Reunion Resort suite common areas for a 15-minute session in which they could delve into starting, strengthening and/or learning more about the potential of their business relationships.

It has become a PMP Growth Summit tradition to gather everyone on arrival day and host the boardroom presentations, where partners provide an overview of their products or services to attendees. In addition to being a great icebreaker for conversation topic starters at the opening night reception, it’s a chance for attendees to get a sense of what’s new with each partner so they walk into their meeting appointments armed with knowledge.
