Kennesaw, January 26, 2015 ― Client Development Manager Courtney O’Connor attended the Printing and Imaging Association of Georgia (PIAG) Annual Meeting in Smyrna, Georgia on January 22, 2015. The gathering is held every year as a combination board meeting to install new officers and an annual conference for its members. The theme for this year’s event was “Survive and Thrive in 2-0-1-5.” 

“I noticed a lot of new members at this year’s meeting,” says O’Connor. “As a result, I sensed a lot of enthusiasm and was able to network with many who attended the event.” Keynote speakers at the meeting included Leslie Groene, a professional sales coach, author, and business development trainer. Also appearing was Daniel Dejan, an award-winning graphic designer, creative director, author, and consultant.

“I loved both of the speakers’ presentations,” says O’Connor. “They gave me new ideas that we can apply to continue our growth at VJI in terms of sales and client relationships. They both discussed how important it is to maintain close client relationships, which is key to growing any business. Good client relationships are a high priority at VJI and will continue to be one of our highest goals. I look forward to not only gaining new clients this year, but also growing and maintaining close relationships with them.”
