Spheres Two through Six will teach you about the Ten Success Factors that will guide you step-by-step through the development process of accessing, acquiring, utilizing, expanding, and constructively using your influence to help make the world a better place. The other running and complementary teaching theme provided is related to relationship building for the purpose of developing highly effective and strategic business networks or spheres of influence.

Personal Performance Maximization for Management - Learn the key elements of accepting personal responsibility

Maximizing personal performance is about accepting personal responsibility for the results and circumstances in your life. Transcending previous success is about replacing bad habits with positive and measurable actions. Gary has proven over his career both through personal performance and through managing highly performing teams that in most circumstances entrepreneurs, salespeople, and employees in general, do not reach their potential without guided coaching and mentoring. As is the case in most companies, a few exceed expectations while the majority performs below their potential. Over his career, Gary has managed more than 1,500 sales, customer service and professional service people and knows firsthand what it takes for the individual and team to perform consistently well. He will demonstrate that most managers today leave the responsibility of success to their employees. Few managers provide added value to the success of their employees, especially in sales, customer service, and professional service. In this interactive work session Gary will present a proven process and specific tasks and actions that must be taken by the manager to assist a sales person to reach his or her potential and to ensure success of the team.

Audience takeaways:

Attendees will have the opportunity to submit challenges/issues they are facing with poor sales and sales management performance.

Be introduced to coach vs. manager role.

Be instructed on the differences between an average performing manager and a highly consistent performing mentor/coach.

Explain the paradigm shift required to transform managers to coaches.

Attendees will leave with a process that can be immediately implemented for better results.

The Six Building Blocks of an Influential and Trusted Relationship

In the business world, networking is a foundational component of building influence. Trusted relationship development is the ultimate goal. Learning how to form trusted partnerships is a necessary leadership skillset that will provide an endless stream of opportunities for the individual performer, manager, executive, and businesses they represent. While you constantly make new connections (this process will never stop) and develop lasting relationships based on successful transactions or mutual interests, you’ll learn there’s a difference between people who are connections and those with whom you have a special and trust-based relationship. From the steady stream of new connections, over time, a handful of them will become special or strategic. They will fall into the category of trusted partner. These are the relationships with whom you will desire to have regular contact, and whom you can work with not just formally, as in a legal business partnership, but in an informal and committed partner-type relationship.

Audience takeaways:

Be introduced to the six steps/building blocks of developing a trusted relationship/partnership

Attendees will have the opportunities to submit challenges/questions about relationships where time and effort to build trust has not paid off as expected

Be instructed on the differences in relationship approach

Discuss and learn ideas of how to expedite and fast track trust

Attendees will leave with a process that immediately can be implemented for better results
