Join us at FAILFAST17 – Let’s Talk Failure

SHARE

We can all agree that listening to people share epic fails is far more entertaining than hearing their success stories….of course, both have their place…but why not celebrate failure as much as success? Failures are often the building blocks that make up any great success. That’s why Consensus is hosting a sales and marketing event dedicated to sharing, and learning from, our failures.

FailFast17 – Join the Sales & Marketing Event on June 15th

While this event will undoubtedly be filled with entertaining (and probably embarrassing) stories, there is a deeper meaning behind celebrating failure, that we as a company always keep in mind. It ties in well to one of our core values, which is to Create Wins. To create wins means being able to push the unnecessary tasks or distractions aside to stay focused on the goals we need to hit. It means when we hit obstacles, we decide and execute quickly on the best plan of action, and don’t spend time playing the blame game or overthinking next steps. We create an environment that encourages everyone to speak their mind and feel supported. But on the road to creating wins often means creating fails.

Those fails are what helps us learn, and usually gets us one step closer to success. Joining us will be some great minds in sales, marketing, business and startups that are excited to share their fail stories. The event will be held at the Eleve Event Center in Pleasant Grove, UT. Click here for full event details and agenda. The lineup includes:
