Keynote Addresses

Goals Are Great…Goals With a Plan Even Greater: Have you ever constructed a building or gone on a trip without a well thought out detailed plan? More than likely you have not.  Successfully creating a sustainable and profitable business requires the same extensive planning and organization. Carefully coordinating the four modules required for success, Goals Are Great…Goals With a Plan Even Greater, will provide the strategies and skills necessary to grow a business, turn around a challenged company or create and grow  a successful sales force. 

Debt, Equity Grants… How to Intelligently Fund Your Business: All throughout time there have been three major ways in which to fund a business, and they are Debt, Equity and Grants. Each form of financing has a place in business and some of the options may surprise a business owner. The program Debt, Equity Grants… How to Intelligently Fund Your Business provides details on all three financing options and information on which financing option may be best for your company. 

Creating Fans Not Just Clients:  Retaining a client is far less expensive than locating a new one, and expanding the services provided to an existing client is extremely cost effective as well. This can only be accomplished when a client’s expectations are met and exceeded each and every time a business provides a product or service or interacts with your company. Creating Fans Not Just Clients will provide details on how to meet and exceed a client’s expectations with every interaction.  Remember when a client is wowed by your product or service, they will become your best advertisement. 

How to Make the Sales Cycle Work For You:  How important are sales and sales people to your business? Until a product or service is sold there is no revenue and without revenue there is not a business. Sales and those who are responsible for sales are the front line of any business. The presentation How to Make the Sales Cycle Work For You will provided details on the seven steps of the sales cycle, the skills and strategies necessary within each step and the preparation required for the sales force and company need to meet and exceed expectations.
