PRAXIS S-10 PRESENTS IGNITE 2020
An Exclusive Members Only 4-Day Live Virtual Event
Beginning on Tuesday October 27th | 10:00am Eastern
October 27th – October 30th 2020
PREPARE TO IGNITE YOUR PASSION FOR SUCCESS. YOUR QUEST FOR KNOWLEDGE. AND TO MAXIMIZE YOUR PROFITS.
ARE YOU READY TO MAXIMIZE YOUR YIELD?
Welcome to IGNITE 2020!

Like most of you, we had planned for this event to be live and in person. While that won’t happen this year, we are incredibly excited to present this year’s line-up of topics, speakers and presentations. On the upside, and because this event will be entirely virtual, it allows us to provide more content than ever before. Plus, more of your team will be able to participate and enjoy the presentations. To learn more. To discover more. And, to profit more from the information you’ll take away and into 2021.
The agenda presented this year will help you and your team excel in just about every part of your business, from marketing, recruitment, special vendor presentations, and sales, sales, and more sales! There’s virtually something for everyone in your company. Review the schedule and make sure you allocate their time to participate in Ignite.
For example, Friday will be all about maximizing your replacement sales, and is specifically designed for any person you want to sell more replacements. Block off your sales team's schedule for a few hours and let them recharge their knowledge. This very special 4-part series is guaranteed to supercharge your new system sales in every way.
Our keynote speaker during this “Super Sales Friday” presentation is Oren Klaff. Oren is Director of Capital Markets at investment bank Intersection Capital. From 2003-2008 as he applied his pioneering approaches to raising capital and incorporating neuroscience into the capital markets programs, Oren raised over $400 million of investor capital from high net-worth individuals and financial institutions. Oren will discuss his innovative process to “flip the script” from a no to a yes — and how to guide your customer to believe that it’s their idea. You can read his amazing bio here on Amazon.
You’ll also hear from two incredibly successful masters of new system sales. You’ll want to strap in and sit tight as these multi-million dollar producers walk you through their unique sales process and how they close more sales per lead. These powerful presentations are guaranteed to help you open your mind and break down your personal barriers that may be limiting your success.
Your company needs to be more prepared than ever. As we move into 2021, we are overwhelmingly optimistic that the pandemic will be behind us and that America will be eager to get back to work and propel this great nation forward, as we always have. So, your business needs to be ready. Ready for new customers to service, repair and replace their systems. Ready for consumers who are ready to spend money again. In essence, ready for America to roll up its sleeves and get back to work.
Ignite 2020 is all about maximizing your yield. I know you’ve heard me talk about that before. It’s about making the most — and getting the most — out of every opportunity. Every employee and every job. But it’s not just about maximizing your profits, although that will be the expected result. It’s also about maximizing your relationships with your family, employees and customers. In short, to be better at everything you do. America’s had a tough year. But, we’re tough folks. So let’s not only maximize our business yield, let’s maximize what America’s all about.
Now, let's get to work America!
