Appco Group Product Owners meeting

Appco Group Product Owners meeting, held recently at the Four Seasons Hotel in Canary Wharf, London, proved to be a great success.

Attended by Marketing Company Owners affiliated with Appco Group, the meet had as its main agenda addressing business challenges and divisional issues. It was an introduction from the Company Chairman Chris Niarchos that flagged off things at the event. He stressed on the need of having discussions and took care to make his speech go like one, letting others ask questions and put forth suggestions. Appco Managing Director Mike Blane was in charge and the event comprised of discussions on New Initiatives, Media Issues, the success of the Nationally Recognised Qualifications Scheme and a Business Development Update.

"The quality initiatives and sales training initiatives established three months ago had a huge effect on the business. Sales, conversion rates and averages all went up by 25% across all divisions. We established a benchmark and the meeting allowed us to elaborate upon it so that it can be followed by the same astounding results in 2011. It was an astonishingly successful day and everyone should be congratulated for a job well done!”- says Chris Niarchos about the Appco Group Product Owners meeting.
