Are your sales prospects ghosting you?
The best sales teams have a tech stack that takes the scary out of sales. For nearly a decade, Indianapolis has been home to rapid innovation in sales technology that helps reps meet more prospects, build stronger rapport, and close more deals.
At this spooky Powderkeg pitch night, you’ll hear fast-paced pitches from 3 innovative companies that make hitting big sales quotas much less scary.
It’s happening on Wednesday October 30th, starting at 5:30 PM at Union 525. Get all the details below…
PITCH NIGHT, SHARK-TANK STYLE
Here’s your opportunity to catch 3 exciting sales tech companies in the Midwest. Each tech company will have just 5 minutes on stage to present their company—no exceptions. It’s sort of like the hit TV show Shark Tank, but without the ego and showbiz.
Come to this event if you want to:
- Learn from some of the most talented leaders in sales
- Connect with entrepreneurs, investors, and builders of innovative products and technology
- Plug in with supportive local tech community with global reach
- Or just want to see what career opportunities are out there!
It’s the day before Halloween, so costumes are encouraged!
We’ve teamed up with some incredible partners to bring you an energy-filled evening with food, drink, and hundreds of leaders from around the tech community. RSVP now or read on below…
