SME Honolulu Presents:

Sales for the Now, Utilizing Modern Tools with Jean-Paul Gedeon

SME Honolulu Speaker Event at Dave & Buster’s on March 7th, 2024

SME Honolulu will welcome sales and marketing professionals for a speaker event on Thursday, March 7th, 2024 from 5:30pm-8pm at Dave and Buster’s in Ward Village. Keynote speaker Jean-Paul Gedeon, CEO & President of JPG Hawaii, will present “Sales for the Now. Utilizing Modern Tools.” This event is open to SME Honolulu members and the general public.

At the event, Jean-Paul will show salespeople and marketers how to utilize modern tools such as multimedia channels and AI, rethink their connections to position themselves as a resource rather than a salesperson, and the role of ChatGPT in building trust and credibility. He will also share insights on the power of relationships and how to initiate a self-sustaining cycle for your business that results in consistently delivering on promises, and more.

A highly regarded and seasoned entrepreneur, Jean-Paul Gedeon grew a high school passion project into a business generating millions in annual revenue. The genesis of his beach lifestyle brand, IDĒL HAWAII, involved the initial sale of stickers, shirts, and hats, which later evolved into the renowned graphic design and printing business known as JPG HAWAII. JPG has now expanded to the Out-of-Home advertising industry with JPG MEDIA. Launched in 2015, JPG MEDIA has quickly become the largest provider of Out-of-Home media in a challenging market where traditional billboards are banned.
