Join us for the 2022 Sales Symposium for the TAS industry!

Our first symposium in 2019 was a HUGE success!

"What a great event!  The Sales Symposium was truly invaluable for me.  The speakers were all wonderful, and even though the topic of sales was the same throughout, the information varied between speakers and there were so many great takeaways!  I would definitely recommend attending if you have the opportunity!"

You won't want to miss this fantastic event!

August 3-4, 2022 Ameristar Hotel and Casino - St Charles St Louis, MO

"I don't need advice about how to make the phone RING!" says Gary Edwards. "I need to know what to SAY when it DOES!  I want to close the SALE!"


Marketing advice is everywhere, how to ACTUALLY SELL...not so much.

This will be a full two day class on all aspects of sales that a TAS can use. 


  • The first day we will have three dynamic speakers including an afternoon open discussion session on sales strategies to answer all of your questions and begin to create a sales implementation plan. 


  • At the conclusion of out first day, join us for our wine and cheese tasting networking event. 


  • The second day there will be two speakers as well as interactive sessions including afternoon round table on industry best practices and a success panel with fellow industry members. 

THIS is the information we ALL want to understand!!

Don't just send your sales people, send your customer service reps and come yourself. The public is starting to recognize our service - now learn how to CLOSE THE SALE.   

Please enjoy these pre-conference speaker & vendor videos!

More 2019 Attendee Testimonials:

The speakers were great, providing fresh perspectives on the sales process. The material covered by each speaker, while different in approach and delivery, all had the same thread, that sales will be more productive if looked at as providing service. This subtle change in mindset has already shifted my sales process and approach with my company’s prospective clients.

By far, the Sales Symposium, presented by ASTAA, was thought provoking and thoroughly convincing that building business does not necessarily mean an old-fashioned dollars & cents sale.  As a result of this event, A Better Answer has introduced new ideas, a few different language patterns and a more relaxed approach to getting new clients and expanding benefits to established business friends.  I give the Sales Symposium a 100%.

Our company attended this year's Sales Symposium and it did not disappoint! As the Compliance Partner for many TAS's we always look forward to seeing our great clients and meeting new ones.

This year's Sales Symposium was packed with great information and content that not only helps our sales process but also helps us build stronger relationships.
