Last night's presentation on Closing More Sales by Sales Guru Michael Israel, of Impact Sales Consulting was well received and provided attendees with valuable tools that could be put to immediate use.  Mike covered the important elements of successful sales systems including breaking out of the typical sales process game, finding the qualified buyer in most prospects, emotions, knowledge, listening, relationship connection, overcoming pricing challenges and helping prospects achieve their goals through doing business with us.

A Helping Hand for Those in Need

Denver PDCA members provided the painters for Benjamin Moore Paints' 'Color Care Across America' project in Denver. The Delores Project was selected by a committee of Mayors as one of 50 homeless shelters from each State and 1 shelter in Washington D.C. that is being painted this fall for Benjamin Moore's Color Care Across America.  The project is intended to help make more people aware of he homelessness that exists in our country and to help some of those in need who are homeless.

The Denver PDCA's August 4th Painting Industry Golf Tournament was great and provided players with a needed break.

Thank you tournament sponsors and players.

Visit the tournament photo album now for some great action shots and group shots.  A beautiful day, excellent course and wonderful people made the tournament a great success.  It's a large photo album so the web page takes a few seconds to load.

 

We’ve worked hard, been real good and made it through the year.

Now it’s time to party! Bring your spouse.

Thank You for Helping Us Help Families

The Denver PDCA was fortunate to be involved with the Denver Ronald McDonald House for its 2010 Charity Painting Project.  The chapter was contacted by Kendra Ingles at RMH to see if we would be interested in helping in the refinishing of their 31 family guest rooms.  The rooms received new furniture, bedspreads and of course a new paint job.
