HALO, Sterling, Ill., hosted the company’s national sales meeting, Breakthrough Summit 2022, on June 20-24.
More than 600 HALO selling professionals and industry suppliers joined HALO management and staff at the event, held at the Grand America hotel in downtown Salt Lake City. The Breakthrough Summit featured small-group “Impression Sessions” with key HALO suppliers, training on HALO’s suite of exclusive selling tools, global distribution and kitting capabilities, and the company’s sustainability program.
An Olympic-themed trade show featured 150 of HALO’s top suppliers, as well as non-industry brands that sell exclusively through HALO.
Evening networking events featured the sights, sounds and cuisine of Salt Lake City, including HALO’s closing ceremony at he University of Utah Rice Eccles Stadium, site of the 2002 Winter Olympic opening ceremonies and Olympic museum.
“The Breakthrough Summit was our best meeting yet,” said HALO CEO Marc Simon. “Our selling team left highly informed and inspired for the second half of the year, and our preferred suppliers laid the foundation for continued strong growth with innovative new products and exclusive selling tools for our team.”
“The energy and ideation will inspire our team as we move into the most robust selling period of the year,” said Jim Stutz, HALO executive vice president of sales and marketing. “We had several new preferred suppliers participate, combined with the industry’s largest suppliers, to provide an abundance of new products and selling strategies for our team. We couldn’t be more enthused about the opportunities this will create with clients the balance of the year.”
“HALO held the largest distributor trade show in the industry with perfect execution,” said Paul Bellantone, HALO senior vice president of customer experience, and past president and CEO of PPAI. “The pre-event communication to both suppliers and distributors helped create an on-site experience that highlighted relationship-building with our key partners. It was a huge win for our sales team, our suppliers and—ultimately—our organizational growth.”
