DAY 1 - TUESDAY, JANUARY 20, 2026

10:00 am – 11:30 am: Sales Seminar

Sales Seminar: From Price to Purpose: Elevating Sales with Proposals Over Quotes

Date: Tuesday, January 20

Time: 10:00 am – 11:30 am

Location: Grand Ballroom at Best Western

From Price to Purpose: Elevating Sales with Proposals Over Quotes
Speaker: Scott Plum Founder, Minnesota Sales Institute

Sales professionals often fall into the trap of responding to quote requests as a shortcut to closing deals, but this approach risks commoditizing the product or service by focusing solely on price. A quote is simply a price offer, detached from context, value, or strategic alignment.

In contrast, a proposal is a persuasive plan that presents a tailored solution based on a buyer’s unique challenges, goals, and environment. It incorporates discovery, analysis, and dialogue to uncover the true needs of the client, ensuring the offering is aligned with their objectives.

Proposals elevate the salesperson to the role of trusted advisor by creating contrast, adding value, and differentiating from competitors. When salespeople engage in thoughtful proposal development—often through multi-option formats—they foster collaboration, build relationships, and avoid being reduced to a vendor selected purely on cost. RFPs, like quotes, can also be a trap unless the salesperson is given access to decision-makers and the opportunity to shape the solution. Ultimately, using proposals instead of quotes leads to fewer but more qualified opportunities, higher close rates, and deeper client trust.

When you attend this program, you will learn:

Replace quotes with proposals to avoid commoditization.
Align every proposal with the client’s specific goals and challenges.
Establish yourself as a trusted advisor through tailored solutions.
Present clear options to shift focus from price to value.
Qualify RFPs and only engage when you can shape the outcome.

Bio: Scott Plum launched his sales career in 1987 and founded the Minnesota Sales Institute in 2002 to work with sales professionals to close more deals, increase revenue, and stop relying on discounts to win business. He’s the author of Taking Off Into the Wind: Creating Lift Out of Life, a book that teaches how to harness adversity for growth—personally and professionally. Known as “Professor Plum,” Scott is also the co-host of the Winning at Selling Podcast (ranked globally in the top 1%) and has served in leadership roles with the Professional Sales Association, Sales and Marketing Executives and the National Speakers Association. His training combines mindset, skillset, and accountability to create lasting results. With a mix of challenges and encouragement, Scott works with individuals and teams to boost confidence, strengthen habits, and turn knowledge into action.

Speaker: Steve Bench, The Millennial Guy

Today's workplace is at a generational crossroads unlike any time in our nation's history. As the Baby Boomers retire, Gen X is left to manage an empowered Millennial generation raised with a new set of attitudes and expectations about their work-life balance. And just as we were beginning to understand Millennials, Gen Z is entering adulthood and bringing their own unique set of traits and characteristics. This entertaining 50-minute session will equip owners, managers, and sales professionals with the tools to identify generational differences in communication styles, adapt their approach to achieve desired outcomes, and navigate difficult situations with confidence.

Participants will learn practical communication strategies to build stronger relationships, handle challenging personalities, and turn difficult conversations into opportunities for trust and collaboration.

Bio: Steve customizes keynote presentations and training sessions that deliver engagement strategies for attracting and retaining Millennials, empowering Generation X, capturing Boomer
wisdom and cultivating future leadership by leveraging the strengths of each generation. Steve has shared his message with audiences across the country.

Steve is also the creator of “The Pitch!”, a non-profit business contest that puts the next generation of workforce talent in charge to create a start-up company and make the perfect sales pitch! Teenage students learn business concepts, practice soft skills and networking and compete for prizes! When not in a classroom, Steve spends his time in gyms around the midwest coaching AAU basketball.
