Industry Experts to Reveal Growth Opportunities for
Energy Organizations

RENO, NV -  June 01, 2008  -   Miller Heiman, a leader in sales performance, will pull from its annual research June 19 to share sales best practices and growth opportunities in the energy industry. Sales Management Best Practices in the Energy Industry, a breakfast briefing and keynote, will take place from 7:45-10 a.m. at the Houstonian Hotel in Houston.

"Organizations in the energy industry have seen a dramatic increase in profits over the last few years," said Sam Reese, president and CEO of Miller Heiman. "But according to the 2008 Miller Heiman Sales Best Practices Study, these organizations still have numerous opportunities to grow sales and improve the overall effectiveness of their sales organization." 

The event will feature Mickey O'Callaghan, a Miller Heiman sales consultant with more than 25 years of experience in the oil and gas industry. He will present trends and opportunities in the industry and demonstrate how these opportunities can be leveraged through the use of CRM technology.

"This is a great opportunity for energy professionals to learn the most up-to-date findings that affect sales professionals in this industry through the eyes of a true industry expert," Reese said. "This is the information leaders need to maintain and grow a profitable business."

O'Callaghan will discuss how energy organizations can bring the operational efficiency they have mastered in other parts of their business to the sales organization. He will identify strategies of top-performing sales organizations in the energy industry and offer advice to organizations looking to establish a consistent sales process to measure and manage performance.

"Too often, when companies see this much success, they fail to look for additional ways to enhance their performance," O'Callaghan said. "But good is not good enough. I want these attendees to walk away with new ideas and best practices they can bring to action in their organizations."

This event is exclusive to executives who hold sales management responsibilities in the energy industry. Those interested in more information about this event are encouraged to contact Sarah Licausi at slicausi@millerheiman.com. Registration is also available at www.millerheiman.com/houston.
