The Best Practices 2025 EXPO & Conference is hosting its first Sales Engineering Workshop, designed for compressed air, industrial cooling, blower and vacuum sales engineers. It is one of the Four NEW Conference Workshops being introduced at the conference this year. The show is in Kansas City, Oct. 21-23. Click here to register.
In the compressed air and industrial water cooling industries selling technical product solutions, it’s common for engineers and technicians to take on sales roles. They understand the products and applications, but rarely receive formal sales training. This workshop will help transform technical product experts into top-performing salespeople.
The workshop will deliver interactive training and topics covered include the formal sales process, tips to earn meetings with new prospects, discovery questions, qualifying questions, closing skills and how to design conversations that lead to revenue.

Mark Allen Roberts, CEO, OTB Solutions
The workshop will be led by Mark Allen Roberts, CEO, OTB Solutions. For over 35 years, Roberts has trained manufacturing company salespeople, including major OEM manufacturers like Timken, Step2, Gardner Denver, Sullair and others, as well as compressed air distributors and manufacturers’ representative sales teams.
The Sales Engineering Workshop is taking place Tuesday, Oct. 21, 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with an hour break for lunch. Attendees will earn three professional development hours.
