Day 2 – March 4, 2021 - Virtual ESPS®

NFDA's Executive Sales Planning Sessions® (ESPS®) allow for private, one-on-one business meetings with the partners who are most important to your business strategy. It’s not as rushed as speed-dating, but the principles are similar, allowing you to meet with several people without having to travel to multiple destinations.  

  • NFDA Associate and Service Provider members and IFI members may sign up to host private half-hour appointments on our secure virtual platform.
  • You must be a member of NFDA or IFI to host appointments.
  • Registered meeting attendees book appointments in advance with the hosts of their choice by using our new online scheduling tool. 
  • The people and companies making appointments with you do not need to be NFDA members, which brings greater possibilities for your business development.
  • There is no fee for distributors who wish to participate only in ESPS® appointments, but registration is required. 

A benefit of conducting ESPS® online is that you can meet customers from many different time zones. You can select from dozens of half-hour time slots.

Designed to facilitate executive-level interchange between trading partners, ESPS® gives you the greatest amount of visibility and provides scheduling flexibility with the most companies in a single place. It’s one of the most efficient ways to build and maintain key business relationships.

  • Private Zoom appointments are available every 30 minutes from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm Eastern
  • NFDA associate and service provider members and IFI members can sign up as hosts
  • Registered meeting attendees book in advance with the hosts of their choice using the online scheduling tool
  • Companies making appointments with hosts do not need to be NFDA members
