Presenting SuckCess 2009

The 2009 VDTA/SDTA Trade Show & Convention in Las Vegas, NV, will start off with a bang when the 2009 SuckCess seminar begins on the stage March 11, 2009, at 2 p.m.

Host of SuckCess 2009 Cliff Brady of Lindhaus USA predicts this program will prove to be the most vital ever!

Cliff’s unique perspective of this industry is well recognized and well sought after. He is a world class salesman known for his high energy and fearless approach in selling. As host he will provide just the right environment for an outstanding learning experience.

Cliff said, “In today’s ever-changing business world it’s more important than ever to have a well thought out plan for your business. Not just any plan will do for our unique industry. Your plan must embrace the proven policies and successes that historically define us. While realizing that we all must change for a better future.”

SuckCess 2009: “Building Tomorrow’s Floor Care Center” will provide you with the common sense tools to do just that. During the seminar, you will hear tips and techniques for the following:

• Tactical Planning
• Tactical Sales
• Tactical Marketing
• Tactical Growth

SuckCess 2009 will feature a variety of speakers including:

• Art Butler Art Butler’s business career spanned 20 years working for large corporations and marketing consultants. In 2005 he purchased Best Vacuum & Janitorial Supply in Tustin, CA. Best is a retail floor care center along with janitorial supplies and carpet cleaning equipment, including truck mounted cleaning systems. After evaluating his marketing efforts and investments, Art discovered that the Internet was providing the highest ROI in his market. He has spent his time and money researching and working to drive Web traffic to his Web site to increase the foot traffic to his store. His use of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) has catapulted his Web traffic and his store traffic to significantly higher levels as a result. He has learned how to tell when a vendor is offering something of value to a business and when they are just selling “sizzle” in the Web search arena.
• Aaron Park After years of being a rep Aaron Park returned to work with his brothers in their store, Vacuums & More in Longview, WA. By applying the strategies Aaron developed while dealing with the hundreds of stores he serviced as a rep, they have grown into three retail operations that have sustained multimillion dollar growth in just three short years!
• Bill Dedich Bill Dedich started a vacuum store out of his garage more than seven years ago and built the business up to three locations. Currently he is the owner of one store in Temecula, CA. Bill has written articles for the VDTA magazine and annually presents lectures during the VDTA Conventions. He has a unqiue talent in teaching others the techniques of the floor care industry. Bill has been a speaker in the first three SuckCess seminars and is glad to be back on the ticket!

Host Cliff Brady promises that that all attendees will not only learn a great deal during SuckCess 2009, but “You will have the time of your life! We are going to have a lot of fun and start this convention with a bang.”
