Bethesda, Md.-based The ASCII Group announced its lineup of speakers for its 2022 education event series. The organization’s goal is, of course, to elevate the attendee experience. To that end, The ASCII Group will offer enhanced professional-development presentations for IT business owners and professionals. The organization is a membership-based community of independent North American managed service providers (MSPs), managed security service providers (MSSPs) and solution providers.
The ASCII MSP Success Summits will be in-person events, and they’ll offer an enhanced agenda focused on education. To that end, attendees will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in business building and MSP best practices and techniques. Sessions will feature MSP-led content from ASCII members and industry thought leaders.
The keynote speaker, Paul Nadeau, is a renowned hostage negotiator and criminal interrogator. As a result, Nadeau has a great deal of expertise in convincing people. For sales professionals, the challenge, of course, is to get clients to sign on the dotted line. Nadeau’s keynote presentation, entitled, “How to Get to ‘Yes’: Tips and Techniques for Getting the Sale,” will offer insights into human behavior and how to win in sales.
