Australia’s leading non-aligned licensee Synchron is celebrating 10 years of NextGen, announcing Alice Springs as the destination for NextGen 2016.
Established in 2006 and open to Synchron advisers and sales executives aged 40-years and under, the NextGen initiative helped bring the average age of a Synchron adviser down from 59 in 2006 to now 48.
The conference concentrates on engaging delegates in the often forgotten soft skills of client interaction. There is a strong emphasis on cultivating relationships between advisers and sales executives via a balanced mix of educational classroom settings and outdoor, interactive sessions.
Synchron director Don Trapnell said he is delighted to be taking the unique conference to Outback Australia for its 10th birthday.
“Alice Springs is such an amazing environment for a conference like NextGen, a huge part of which is all about team building and establishing relationships. NextGen is known for challenging young professionals physically, mentally and emotionally and where better to do that than in the Outback,” Mr Trapnell said.
Leading this year’s conference program is The Sales Strategist, Brad Tonini, who will coach delegates in areas such as increasing sales in challenging times, developing a sales culture and selling for non-sales people.
“Brad Tonini is one of Australia’s premier public speakers and such a sought after sales strategist. Our young advisers, along with the whole industry, are experiencing so much uncertainty and change and so this presentation will provide them with the confidence to really look at their business models and make the changes necessary so they can continue to excel,” said Mr Trapnell.
