IDC’s Industry Sales Professional Course: National Account Managers Round Table

IDC’s popular Industry Sales Professionals Course (ISPC) series is going virtual! Register today for this online course, tailored exclusively to meet the needs of architecture and design industry sales professionals. This practically-oriented course will feature several Q & A sessions with panels of registered interior designers and architects, drawn from boutique and large design firms serving the retail, commercial, healthcare, hospitality and residential sectors.

The series will run twice a month from August 18, 2020 until October. Participants who attend three or more panels of the six offered, will receive an official ISPC certificate and LinkedIn designation attendance. A certificate of completion will be issued to all registrants in attendance for each panel.

National Account Managers Round Table

Architecture and interior design firms share many of the same client, budget and space planning challenges, but they also experience pressures and nuances that are distinct to each profession. During this session, learn about a few of those key pressures, and what architecture firms need from their relationships with supply partners. The panel will also address the current challenges and the evolving relationship between designers and industry.

Testimonials
« I attended this course in May in Calgary. We had the great opportunity to interact directly with architects and designers in my territory. Around lunch time we had the chance to network and create relationships that may have taken more time if I tried to go directly to the firm. I am really looking forward for the next course!
Thanks Barbora Krsiakova and the IDC team for the warm welcoming. » – Léa El Jawad, Architect and Designer Sales
