Longtime MALP member and sales powerhouse Billy Butts, MCLP, delivered an inspiring and high-energy presentation at MALP’ s Business Building seminar on August 27, 2025, in Foxboro, MA. Held at Patriot Place, the event featured an afternoon packed with practical advice, proven sales strategies, and valuable takeaways— all delivered with Billy’ s trademark enthusiasm and real-world insight.
Drawing on more than 38 years of experience in the green industry, Billy shared actionable guidance on:
Building a Personal Brand Creating Meaningful Connections Knowing Your Numbers Closing and Extending the Sale
A key theme throughout the session was the importance of accountability in business success( see sidebar). As Billy put it best,“ There’ s not a lot of traffic on the extra mile!”
MALP extends sincere thanks to Billy Butts and Outdoor Pride for going the extra mile to share their expertise. Special thanks also to our generous sponsors: Boss by Integra, Bobcat, and SiteOne, whose support helps us continue bringing high-quality professional development opportunities to our members.
Top Take Away- " Be Accountable "
To be accountable means to take ownership and accept responsibility for your actions, behavior, and the results they produce.
It involves being willing to explain and justify your choices, admit mistakes, and provide a satisfactory reason for success or failure.
Accountability builds trust, shows transparency, and can be a critical component of personal and professional relationships.
THANK YOU SPONSORS!
