Presentations, Exams, Sales Conference and Vegas Vacation
April was a very busy month and a very rewarding month for myself. Met lots of new people and contacts, graduated from Algonquin and traveled to Las Vegas for a week long vacation.
April 14 – Final Client Presentations – Algonquin Business Marketing
In school we wrapped up our semester long project with a final client presentation in the boardroom at Algonquin College. This was a one hour presentation to sell our final plan and marketing ideas to our client. Our team delivered a strong presentation which was endorsed by our clients and it will provide them with a solid foundation of marketing strategies to implement in their business.

April 20-25 – Final Exams – Algonquin Business Marketing
We had three exams to write in order to finish the semester and graduate from the Marketing program. We wrote an exam for our Marketing Communications – New Media, Business Intelligence and Planning, and eMarketing and Distribution courses. There was no final exam in Marketing Research only the final client presentation. I was able to use the time between our client presentation and the final exams to prepare and I ended up doing well with an 87, 90, and 84 on the three exams respectively.
April 27-28 – Powerhouse Sales Event – Hilton Lac-Leamy Ottawa, ON
The Powerhouse Sales Event was a two-day conference at the Hilton Lac-Leamy just across the bridge in Hull, PQ hosted by sales professional Colleen Francis and her team at Engage Selling. This two day event was packed full of light bulb moments and sales strategies that can be implemented in many different ways.
April 29-May7 – Las Vegas Vacation
After a long year at school I decided to reward myself with a week long vacation to Las Vegas to see the Supercross finals, play some golf, and enjoy the 95* desert heat. 10 hours, 2 flights, and 4000kms away from Ottawa, ON is a world full of entertainment and fun. Lots of good times and a relaxing getaway sums up the 8 day vacation.

Now it’s back to work and time to implement some of the networking and sales strategies I picked up from the Powerhouse Sales Event.
