A Car Engine is like a Sales Team, it Needs an Oil Change, Tuning and Looking After Constantly.

A Car Engine is like a Sales Team, it Needs an Oil Change, Tuning and Looking After Constantly.

Knowing that you have to travel from A to B, be on time and at your best, you service your car regularly.  Do you do this?

Breaking down on a roadside when in business is not acceptable and that is why a car is not just a box and five wheels, six, if you include the steering wheel.  

if you watch Formula One or NASCAR racing, you know that you must have an extraordinary Pit Crew, Advisers, Backing and importantly a Driver who listens to the experts.

A well oiled cog will not squeak and always perform to it's maximum!

Let us look at what is the engine of a company is, the sales team.  I know that the accounting team will argue that the company cannot run without them or the production line in manufacturing is the most important of all and a main cog in the overall running of the engine.

You do not change your own oil, you need a professional to complete that task.

I hear you and have empathy for your statement, but if the sales are not coming in the door, where does the income come from to pay the bills, to pay you?

Professional sales managers, salespersons and as collective team are vital to the existence of a company.  They revolve between success and failure, acceptance and rejection and the pros keep on going!

It is the ability of the owner of company, whose dream is now a reality is in the hands of others.  Leadership and decision making must be a daily reality and never put off.  We are not asking you to be a control freak, but your planning, strategy and constant review is a must!  

Most owners are too close to the company, which is not a criticism, but do not see the wood for the trees.  Being possessive causes issues, it is the human side of us all.

Fresh experienced eyes and ears, who will ask the right down to earth questions of customers, clients and importantly, the employees is necessary. Being able to collect this information and convey and implement the answer to move forward with a greater success, is the key. 

That is what we do!  We Create Great Sales Teams!

It is about processes, adaptability and proven results.

X is a Legal Signature, Read First, Be Aware of What You Sign & Who You Do Business With...

X is a Legal Signature, 

Read First, Be Aware of What You Sign 

& Who You Do Business With...

There are those that have big smiles, mention they belong to a church and come across thoroughly the inference of trustworthiness.

They are NOT!

Your signature is more valuable than you think. I do not care if it is a forty page document that requires initials on each page and then your signature, read every single word fully. If you do not understand, ask the question. if the answers is not answering the question you asked, ask again, till you fully understand.

If a contract or an agreement ends up in the court system and you are asked why you signed this document, not understanding the document or trusting the salesman or even the lawyer is not an excuse and does not have a "get of jail card"!

The judge will tell you that "Ignorance is No Excuse"!

Con-men, salesmen, lawyers and insurance agents are the worst! In fact, so are your immediate family.

These people watch you like a hawk and know when you have taken the bait. It can be as simple "I want you no matter what, I have fallen love with it". When it comes to money, there is nothing worst than these miscreants who prey on the aged, infirm, mentally challenged and veterans who have been rated incompetent to handle their financial affairs.

Placing a pre-filled form in front of one of these persons with an x marking where they must sign is not the why a contract is presented, unless each and every line is explained to the fullest.

The X is not the mark of a buried treasure for the signor. It is the mark of possible theft. Yes the con-man will go to great lengths with lies and deception when money is at stake.

In the case of a veteran of military service, billions of dollars are at stake overall. The VA has people to help you, authorized agents who are only licensed for certain aspects. Filling paperwork is one, receiving monies on your behalf is not! Only a fiduciary or guardian appointed by the VA can handle monies of a veteran who has been deemed incompetent.

There is a network across America that is duping veterans and must be stopped NOW!

The investigation is on going and if anyone has information regarding these type of con, that is and has happened to a family member, please contact us.

Stop these morons from stealing from US veterans who defended their country and you, now defend them in their hours of need.

Business Sustainability... It is not so much about failure...

 

Business Sustainability... It is not so much about failure, it is the misguided and hard headed attitudes, which sadly us humans, seem to follow.  

Yes, there are deep rooted issues of leadership, misplaced executives who are lost and should never have been placed in that position in the first place. The selections are made for the wrong reasons and have far reaching effects. 

When an owner has placed blood, sweat, tears, money into a business and it is not producing the original concept or failing, their mind becomes blurred. 

Standing in the corner talking to oneself does nothing for you, in fact, it makes it worse. There are those that can assist, listen and not judge. Talking to those that will listen objectively, without playing the "Blame Game", is important and the right path to follow.  We are here!

Even cities, counties and States place priority in bringing in new businesses. The Economic Development Councils, State Governors and Chambers of Commerce want more companies to to come to their area and open the doors.  It is all about employment, membership and a growing tax base.

What about sustainability?

Just opening the doors is not the single answer!  Companies can have great products and ideas, but are they able to have that continuum?  It is all about sales, production and profitability, you cannot have one without the others. 

There has to be ongoing business coaching, someone who can be that listening ear and give the advice from experience, success and a solid perspective.  It is then the ownership's commitment to implement the solid solutions.  

It is all about Processes, Adaptability and Results!

This is where we come in, yes we have an app for that!  We create great sales teams by understanding your fundamentals, the inner core, philosophy, mission, existing processes and original desires.  

How do we do this?  Simple, we ask proven questions, listen to the answers and not just from the ownership.  Employees have opinions, ideas and are working more closely to the issues than most management. Everyone has information which can be aired, selected and used. 

It is equally about the top down and bottom up information.

We, like you, have had the ups and downs in life, as no single person or entity is perfect, the difference is, we have experienced, resolved and succeeded.  Our inner experiences enable us to review what the real issues are and present real answers.

So, how can we help you?

First, you must cowboy up and comprehend you need help, that is the first and only step!  No, your admission of requiring assistance is not a sign of personal issues.  It is the admission that you require a team, a great team.  Yes, a great sales team and that is what we do, we create great sales teams.

So take that deep breath, get out your mobile phone and dial our number, it is that simple and straight forward.

Success or Failure is Not a Mystery, It just eludes those that lose focus, but can be brought back on track.

Success or Failure is Not a Mystery,

It just eludes those that lose focus, but can be brought back on track.

It starts out with good intentions, an innovation, a commercial idea, service, manufactured product and the inner core of a creative business opportunity.  This is an exciting time that we as individuals never forget.  It is a dream that with good business acumen, investment and hard work will and will be a reality.

Now some, have brilliant ideas and sadly lack in several areas, management and manufacturing skills and importantly, finance.  This is where certain conflicts rear their ugly heads.  It is the possessive clasping of the opportunity and not wanting to let go.  Without the money, marketing and manufacturing there is nothing!

There is always a foundation when building a structure, the footings that will allow the building or in this case, the business to actually have stable support and grow.  The momentum is all important and must be adjusted along the way, otherwise, it will slowly wither and die. 

That does not please investors and why they want control of the financial aspects.  Sales, marketing and manufacturing may not be part of their collective attributes, but all are affected.  Your original team can only take you so far, before you absolutely need to make that change. 

Instead of being top down management it has been reversed, it is now bottom up, importantly there had better be a meeting of the minds in the middle. Otherwise it is a recipe for disaster.

As time moves on, just like the romance of a lover and partner, it has to be worked on.  Give and take, flowers, wining and dining, with true dedication to one another.  That is in the real world and we know that it does not work like that at all.  The hic-cups and bumps in the road happen.  We do not always see them for ourselves as we are too close or our energy has been replaced.  We are ignoring the wrong things and can only result in adversity.

In a company, marketing, sales strategy and targeting change over time.

Sometimes you do not react quickly enough or as you have never notice the problem in the first place, you then over react.  The consequences are a recipe for devastating results. 

It is likened to over compensating when driving a car and go into a skid on ice.  Seat belts and airbags have saved so many and your company needs these safety features.

The owner and his board can have a fuller understanding of the issues by authorizing a consultancy to enquire to the real problems and then implement the structure for change.

Our abilities and solutions are not a boiler-plate and a one size fits all scenario.  Preconceived ideas are a road to failure. 

They may sound good, but we are not here to just to voice opinions, we are here to succeed for you, your products/services, customers and employees.

It is bringing this cultural understanding from all directions that is the key.

Yes, we bring a new perspective with a business GPS and road map for implantation to increasing turnover, profit and enhancing the people skill sets of those within.

It is time to Pinpoint and Pivot the issues to move you forward and bring you the profitability and continuous success you wish to see again.

Super Bowl Monday...

Super Bowl Monday… 

Super Bowl Syndrome…   

It may have cost $4 million plus to buy a thirty second television commercial in the NBC/NFL Super Bowl, but what is it costing the businesses worldwide on Monday morning?

A heck of a lot more!

Sure, it is a late or early game depending on which part of the world you live in and all the hype means you have to have a Super Bowl Party, with yes, wings, chicken wings, dips of many colors, celery, carrots and chips with guacamole and much more. Oh, washing it all down with beer, more beer and any other liquid you may care to pour down your gullet. It is also a few days from Mardi Gras and that is one more party all on its own!

The party starts as early as you want and goes on after a game, which in a sports format is 4 quarters of fifteen minutes, which if my math is correct, is sixty minutes. Mixed in, million dollar commercials, commentary and more party time. It lasts as long as you can stay awake, remember that you work in the morning, if you make it.

Many will be suffering with ISBS (Irritated Super Bowl Syndrome). This is due to the foods digested during your supposed happy party time. Why do we eat other people’s concoctions for hot wings, dips and sauces that take a layer of the skin from your upper palette? 

Drink drinks that are so over rated and then expect our stomachs to handle it all. Handling it is the most we can expect and then, as the food and liquids mix in our bodies, we are getting excited beyond the norm. 

Not the recipe for a good Monday morning!

• No fewer than $65 million is expected to be spent on food for The Big Game
• Super Bowl Sunday marks the day on which Americans chow the second-greatest amount of food. (Thanksgiving is 1st) 
• Almost 15,000 tons of chips and 4,000 tons of popcorn 
• Some 12 million pounds of avocado are sold in preparation for the game so that Americans may gorge themselves on an estimated eight million pounds of guacamole - California avocado commission 
• 7-Eleven claims a whopping 20 percent in sales of antacid the day after the Super Bowl. 
• 36% increase in sales of frozen breaded mushrooms prior to the Super Bowl 
• 29% Percentage increase in sales of frozen shrimp 
• $237.2 million spent on soft drinks at grocery stores during Super Bowl week 
• 30% increase in sales of proceed-cheese loaves the week before last year's Super Bowl 
• 68% Increase in sales of flavored snack crackers 
• Frozen Pizza is the top Super Bowl seller at grocery stores 
• $11.8 million additional sales of beer 
• 30.4 million pounds of snack food Americans scarf down on Super Bowl Sunday, twice the average daily amount 
• Pizza Hut expects to sell 2 million pizzas on the day of Superbowl XLV which is 60% or 1.3 million more than an average day.

Tomorrow morning, the water cooler conversations, sluggish attitudes and those individuals that are suffering with over eating/drinking and the mixture that has still to make its way through their bodies, represents individual and corporate attitude.  It is a sorry sight for the bank balance for the business.

The performance of all companies is affected and results in the decision making process is put in doubt. If you are not feeling 100% it means your work ethic is in doubt! How do we change the day and those that woould party to the limit and beyond? 

It is not all about deflated balls, it is about a deflated work ethic...

Planning and understanding what is going to occur no matter what you tell your staff. It seems American Football has an adverse effect on sane supporters, no one is spared, no matter whether you partied or not.

Have you already bumped into a longer line at the coffee pot or the bathroom? Heard more people asking you to keep your voice lower or just having blank looks on their faces? 

If so, then your company is suffering from Super Bowl Syndrome and it can be spread to your clients! 

Extra hand washing, although needed from a hygienic perspective, does not make any difference whatsoever.

So how productive will your company be Monday morning? 

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh... 

WE Are in the NOW 
and KEEP YOU; in the KNOW…
