Green Seats: How to Make Sales with Sustainable Upholstery: Presented by Jeff Hiller @ 7:30-9am
The green movement is heating up in home furnishings, with nearly half of consumers reporting themselves very interested in hearing about available options. No where is this more important than upholstery, the #1 product category. American Leather and Ultrasuede are teaming with the Sustainable Furnishings Council in presenting a comprehensive training session that goes beyond product features and benefits to a specific process for initiating, developing and closing green sales. Topics include an overview of advantages in frames, bio hybrid foams, recycled content and eco friendly covers as well as consumer awareness and purchase interest, current hot buttons, and proven responses to overcome buyer objections. The delivery is entertaining, and the content is essential to creating a competitive point of difference in your market. Sponsored by Toray Ultrasuede, America, Inc./Ultrasuede® EcoDesign™AM
