Equity Services, Inc. (ESI) recently wrapped up its highly anticipated second annual Business Development Conference (BDC) in Alexandria, Virginia. The conference kicked off on Sunday, March 17th with a festive Irish-themed welcome reception bringing in 92 Reps who are eager to elevate their business practices and strategies. Impressively, approximately 20% of these attendees were returning participants from the inaugural BDC just 6 months prior.
The value is clear: BDC drives GDC.
Returning attendees have seen their average monthly Gross Dealer Concessions (GDC) rise on average by 7% since participating in BDC. Notably, the top 20 saw a remarkable 7.5-fold surge in GDC, while the top 30 and top 40 increased GDC by 63% and 28%, respectively. These growth figures underscore the efficacy of purposeful development and intentional partnerships, both cornerstones of BDC, in fostering tangible results for attendees.
Themed Team Up for Success, this year’s conference emphasized the significance of collaboration and strategic alliances in driving business growth and triumph. Attendees were treated to a comprehensive agenda featuring main stage keynotes and breakout workshops covering a diverse range of topics including practice management, technology integration, marketing strategies, forging strategic partnerships, market insights and more.
Of course, none of this would be possible without the enthusiasm and engagement from our attendees as well as the generous support from our Partners. As ESI continues to refine and expand its conference offerings, anticipation for even greater success in the future remains high. Be on the lookout for details on BDC 2025 later this year.
