Solihull, UK - January 28th, 2010 - sales-i, (www.sales-i.com) ) the sales & customer intelligence service, today announced that its co-founder, Kevin McGirl, has been announced as a speaker at the forthcoming NMBS Strategic Sales conference in March.

The NMBS is the most successful buying group for independent builders, plumbers, hardware and timber merchants in the UK, and announced a strategic agreement to offer sales-i to its 660+ building industry members a year ago this month.

Since that time NMBS members including Shropshire Building Supplies, Huws Gray, Jackson’s Building Centres, Covers , Isaac Lord and Chandlers have all signed up to sales-i as have NMBS suppliers such as RoDo, Irongate Group, Geocel, Reisser and Nicholls & Clarke.

The NMBS Strategic Sales Conference is being held two months prior to the NMBS annual conference, which attracts the largest brand names in the industry. The aim of the new sales conference is to attract NMBS key exhibitors (approx. 150-200 suppliers) with a view to motivating and encouraging these suppliers to outperform their sales expectations throughout 2010.

Kevin is a familiar and respected sales motivational speaker and will focus on helping suppliers understand the gold that lies in their sales and customer data and how through intelligent reporting and gap analysis techniques, they can unearth valuable sales opportunities and increase their share of customer spend.

“We are working with many NMBS members and suppliers and achieving some very high profile sales results,” adds Kevin. “Most recently Shropshire Building Supplies confirmed that by using sales-i they had unearthed a £10,000 customer order thanks to visible, accurate, account analysis. This is commonplace amongst our customers and I look forward to sharing more of these success stories with NMBS suppliers at the conference.”
