Dr. Daniel McQuiston

His topic will be Increase Your Profits by Meeting Your Customers' "Silent Demand". This will be held at Tuscany Pasta and Steak Restaurant from 7:30 - 10:00 am.

Dan has been fascinated with all aspects of sales and marketing since his days in sales in the 1970s. This fascination led him to first complete his MBA and then his Ph.D. in marketing from The Ohio State University. As a marketing professor first at Indiana University and now at Butler University, he has won teaching awards at all three institutions as well as similar awards from a number of executive development programs.

“…Dr. McQuiston had a tremendous impact on our management team. He got them interested in looking at our products and services in a way that would satisfy our customers’ secondary demands.

Dan’s message was clear: increase customer loyalties by improving their processes to make them more profitable…”
