RE: Training
DATE: March 14
The Sales Department officially requests extra funding to be able to train some of our sales staff. To be specific, we would like funds so that three individuals can attend the special event being hosted by Walter Perkins in Los Angeles on April 5 and 6. I have attached a brochure for the two-day seminar for you to examine, Mr, Perkins is an expert in sales strategies and on the art of closing deals. Those individuals who have attended his seminars in the past have attested to the value of the information they acquired. We believe that by sending three members of our sales team (Jodie Welch, Alana Monroe, and Jeff Stevens), they will personally benefit. In addition, those three members, who are among the top people in the department, have agreed to provide training based on what they learn about Mr.Perkinss methods to the other staff members. Tile cost for all three people, including transportation, accommodations, food, and registration fees, should not exceed $5,000. We require a response no later than March 22 since it is the last day that registration for the event is possible. Please call me at extension 798 if you need more information.
