Home About the Presidents Council Programs & Services Advisory Board & Sponsors Member Area
 

Welcome to more information on Seymour's Club!  This new program is directed by the Presidents Council's latest addition, Seymour O. D'Byers, a fictitious staff member with the very real job of helping suppliers "See-More-Of-The-Buyers." Seymour's Club is a unique and specialized program which builds on the 20+ years of relationship building of the Presidents Council along with the success of the Buying Days to help companies overcome one of the biggest obstacles to success - simply getting through the door to the right person. By allowing Seymour and his team to do the leg work, Seymour's Club eliminates the common obstacles most sales people encounter when trying to get their products in front of decision makers. 

Based on feedback from our members and Buying Day participants, Seymour has been hard at work to answer the call for help in obtaining more information about industry retailers, what is needed to be successful, and to securing sales appointments with appropriate retail buyers. Seymour's Club offers:

 
  • A fee based appointment arrangement service that will get sales meetings with the appropriate buyer at the retailer(s) of your choice. Choose which appointments you would like from the menu of available retailers (prices vary) and Seymour will find available dates for you to meet with the buyer at their offices. Since buyers' schedules vary, meeting times will be at the discretion of the buyers. Your meeting charge will be fully refunded if a meeting is not able to be secured.
 
  • Free registration on Buyingdays.com – it's easy, there is no additional cost to this feature and it offers you more exposure to all of the buyers who participate in Buying Days events.
 
  • Industry information on retailers and buying information.

 

BIOGRAPHY
Seymour O. D'Byers		  
  Seymour O. D'Byers did not reach this position overnight.  He may be new to you, but his success in bringing buyers and sellers together is the result of more than 20 years of relationship building, industry knowledge and sales experience as well as almost two decades of conducting buying days both in the United States and abroad.  With skills steeped deeply in marketing, sales and retailing, he is specially equipped to recognize the needs of suppliers and to provide the information and the contacts they need to sell their products. Some of Seymour's strongest points include his no-excuses attitude, his prompt response time, and his ability to make the right call at the right time. Seymour has surrounded himself with a team of successful executives who are responsible for the increased sales of hundreds of clients and have opened doors throughout the U.S., Europe and South America.

Retail Customers & Appointment Pricing

Just as all things are not created equally, all retailers are not the same.  Due to the higher demand for certain retail appointments, pricing per appointment will vary.  Once you become a member of Seymour's Club, you will select the retailer(s) with whom you would like to meet and Seymour will get to work securing appointments.  Seymour has a strong policy on only paying for what you receive, and will fully refund any appointments that are not secured.
