I feel like that financially, it was successful. Whatever we receive in revenue will benefit both our organizations immensely.

Many, if not most, organizations now view consultative selling as the baseline, regardless of their industry, geography or customer base. Salespeople who succeed at developing these relationships do so by continuously understanding customer needs, and by providing solutions that help customers reach their goals.

Help the chamber to help ACO.

We felt like it was our obligation and privilege if they'd like to share the work and proceeds from this year's event. It helps both our budgets and is our responsibility as a chamber to work with our non-profits in Allen, especially when there's a need like this.

This is really the only formal black tie optional event that's held in Allen. We always have a lot of fun. A nice dinner, great opportunity for auction items and we have music for dancing.

It was amazing what their volunteers were able to do to make it painless. They have the best volunteer base and the number of staff that can make an event like this go extremely well.
