Greetings, AA-ISP Dallas Chapter Members!      

 Happy New Year!  We are so pleased to extend an invitation to the 2018 Dallas Chapter inaugural meeting on March 13, 2018 from 3PM to 5PM. My name is Matthew Smith, Sr. Director and Head of Corporate Sales for Southwest Airlines.  On behalf of the Dallas Chapter of the AA-ISP and Southwest Airlines, I am so pleased to host this meeting at our Headquarters.  Senior Leadership within the AA-ISP, including Founder and Chairman, Bob Perkins, will also be in attendance.

 It has been a while since the Dallas Chapter has met; this meeting will be a bit of a "re-launch" for the group.  We would love to get everyone together, introduce ourselves, and have an open discussion on how we would like 2018 and beyond to look for our Chapter. Additionally, we will have a guest speaker, Tim Wackel, in attendance.  Tim is a renowned sales speaker and trainer who has been recognized as the #1 producer in a 10,000 person sales organization, led a Silicon Valley startup through a successful IPO, and directed a $50M sales organization for a Fortune 500 Company. He will be presenting "Stop Pitching, Start Solving: Helping Customers Discover What They Really Want", which focuses on how to craft questions that ignite emotions, discover motivations, and get customers to act.  After the meeting, we'll have a cocktail hour along with a brief tour of the Training Facility here at Southwest Airlines.

 We would love it if you could attend.  To help gauge the size of the meeting and arrange logistics, can you please RSVP by January 31st by using the following link: http://AAISPDALLAS031318.rsvpify.com. If you are able to attend, we would love it if you would then complete the following  survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PD2FRRW.  This will help us get some insight from you on how to best use our time together as a Chapter.   Attached is a rough draft of the agenda with more details.  More details on the meeting will be sent to the group as we get closer to the date.  

Thanks for your response and interest.  Don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly if you have any questions.  We are looking forward to an exciting year with the AA-ISP!
