"The Future of Sales Is Still Human"
Presented by Lynda Wolf

The future of sales isn't about choosing between AI and people. It's about combining the power of both.

"Sales Leadership in Action"
Presented by Anna Frazzetto

Based on Anna Frazzetto’s book, Sales Leadership in Action: 100 Tips for Coaching Reps, Building Cultures, and Closing Deals, this high-energy, practical session is built for the people doing the work every day: sales professionals, recruiters, account managers, business development executives, producers, and future leaders.

This is not another presentation filled with theories, complicated sales models, or outdated tactics that sound good in a conference room but never make it back to your desk.

No fluff. No nonsense. Just practical ideas that work.

Drawing from decades of experience building businesses, leading global revenue organizations, coaching sales teams, and sitting across the table from clients, Anna shares real-world lessons that participants can apply immediately.

Participants will learn how to:

Take ownership of their goals, activities, and results
Stay motivated when the market is slow or the answer is “not now”
Build confidence without becoming aggressive or pushy
Ask better questions and become more curious about the buyer
Listen for what the client is really saying, and sometimes what they are not saying
Move beyond transactional selling and become a trusted partner
Create momentum when an opportunity begins to stall
Navigate objections and difficult conversations with confidence
Communicate value instead of simply pitching a product or service
Build stronger relationships through consistency, credibility, and follow-through
Close with confidence by earning the right to ask for the business
Contribute to a positive, accountable, and results-driven sales culture

As a transformative leader in the staffing and consulting industries, Anna Frazzetto brings extensive expertise in scaling high-performing sales teams and driving business growth. She is the Founder and CEO of AFM Strategic Partners, a firm specializing in empowering sales teams, transforming portfolios, and accelerating revenue growth across industries. Through tailored advisory meetings, innovative sales methodologies, and solution-oriented selling, AFM Strategic Partners helps organizations diversify their portfolios and stand out in the marketplace.

Previously, Frazzetto served as the Global Chief Revenue Officer, where she led a global sales transformation, diversifying the organization’s focus from energy services to STEM-focused staffing and expanding service offerings such as Statement of Work (SOW) solutions.
