Q. Who can come? Anyone! 3. About Alan BergI began in the wedding industry selling advertising for WeddingPages magazine in New Jersey and the Hudson Valley in New York. After 5 years my wife and I bought the two magazine franchises, and I was the publisher for the next 5 years. We sold the magazines back to WeddingPages, when they wanted me to manage their sales team on the East Coast. Shortly thereafter, The Knot, at the time the busiest wedding website, bought WeddingPages. A few years later I was promoted to Vice President of Sales, running a sales team of 50+ reps around the country. I was the main speaker for The Knot at conferences for wedding professionals. I also oversaw the hiring and training of new sales reps, and I created a new Customer Relations Manager team. Over my 11 years with The Knot, after running local sales, I was Vice President of Local Sales Operations and The Knot Market Intelligence. “Being a down to earth person to talk to he is a wonderful speaker. My business is growing and all I did was LISTEN.“ – Sarah Martin, Shutterbooth, Detroit, MI After leaving The Knot, I became an independent speaker, author, sales trainer and consultant. I now consult and do sales training for WeddingPro from The Knot Worldwide (with websites in 15 countries around the world) and their teams from WeddingWire and The Knot. I also consult and speak for weddingsonline in Ireland, Dubai and India, as well as Guides for Brides in the UK and EasyWeddings in Australia.
