Richie started his journey when he went from a 5’7” 150 pound walk-on at Ole Miss to becoming a Division-1 football scholarship athlete in the powerhouse SouthEastern Conference. He also went on to earn the coveted SEC Scholar Athlete award. After his graduation from Ole Miss, Richie played professional Arena football, authored his #1 bestseller, “In Spite of the Odds”, was featured in the movie “Rudy Ruettiger: The Walk On”, and founded Relentless Warrior and Next Play™.

  • Known as the high-energy and high-impact speaker, Richie shares each success story from the lens of the audience resulting in a renewed inspiration you can feel in the room.
  • The Next Play™ system transforms sales groups into a machine that allows for individual performance to shine through while also providing the baseline to measure performance for everyone.
  • Richie teaches sales leaders how to dramatically skyrocket sales by holding their people accountable to their potential without micromanaging.

Using the drive and accountability system, Richie went on to break records in sales performance at a fortune 500 company, built a 7-figure nation-wide performance coaching program, and today helps companies scale to completely new levels through the Next Play™ Accountability System.

Richie shares each success story from the lens of the audience resulting in a renewed inspiration you can feel in the room. He speaks frequently to large audiences and partners with businesses of all sizes including major corporations worldwide like IBM to build teams who are clear on their goals, focused on their next play, and accountable each week, resulting in their rapid growth and record engagement.

The constant focus on past failures or future success guarantees only one thing — stagnancy. When you shift the focus instead to the next play— regardless of success or failure — your employees, your leadership team, and your business will operate in a state of constant action and improvement.

By removing the emotion from success or failure and focusing on the strengths of the individuals and the team at the same time, the Next Play™ system not only guides your teams’ performance but ensures managers do the same.

Today, Richie shares his story of founding Next Play™ which was the system he used at 5’7” and 150 pounds to earn a full D-1 football scholarship at Ole Miss. He then used that same accountability system to grow a performance coaching business by 2,600% and today has been working with organizations around the US to do the same.

Most leaders provide the training, tools and even coaching, but don’t provide the positive accountability needed to help people actually realize their potential and achieve their goals.You will develop a shared language and vision with your team to set clear goals and execute the weekly accountability system that keeps everyone focused on their Next Play™.  As a result, you will experience record growth, retention, and consistent peak performance at every level of your organization

KEYNOTE FOR SALES LEADERS

Next Play™: The Accountability System That Results In Retention, Profitable Growth, & Consistent Peak Performance

The greatest skill a leader can learn is the ability to help others realize and exceed their potential. But, most leaders manage people, implement lots of training, and sometimes even coach, but very few have the ability to also hold their team members accountable to their potential every single week. What’s missing is a tool and system to keep people moving forward regardless of adversity.

IT’S PERFECT FOR:

  • Companies who want to see significant growth and new sales.
  • Companies who want their leaders to coach great performance and hold their teams accountable to their potential every week, rather than just managing.
  • Companies who want to solve inconsistency in performance, lack of engagement, and excuses.
  • Companies who want to solve complacency and content.

YOUR LEADERS WILL LEAVE WITH:

  • The 3-step Next Play™ System that teaches them to be great accountability coaches rather than just managers, coaches, and trainers. 
  • A system for helping their teams to set clear goals, take massive action, track weekly results, and be held accountable to their potential. 
  • A renewed inspiration about what is possible for their teams and personal lives.
KEYNOTE FOR SALES TEAMS

Next Play™: The Accountability System That Eliminates Complacency and Results In a Profitable Growth

The Next Play™ Accountability system provides the accountability your sales team needs to drive consistent results week after week. It’s a simple 3-step tool your team can use to go from stuck, frustrated, down and put them into instant action. It’s not just being focused, but more importantly, what you are focused on. This tool will keep your team set clear on their goals, focused on their next play, and accountable every week.

IT’S PERFECT FOR:

  • Sales teams who have big goals and know they just need an accountability system to make it happen.
  • Sales teams who often hit big numbers from time to time, but aren’t seeing the consistency they want on a weekly and monthly basis.
  • Sales teams who struggle with complacency.
  • Sales teams who want a Next Play™ mindset that completely eliminates fear and allows you to move forward through any failure, fear, or rejection.

YOUR SALES TEAM WILL LEAVE WITH:

  • The Next Play™ Mindset that eliminates failure by focusing on the next action.
  • Motivation to achieve goals they’ve never achieved before.
  • A plan and accountability system that drives consistent, high-revenue results.

Richie thank you for jumping in and crushing itl Your message not only resonated with my team but I took away a number of great principles that will help me lead better. Appreciate you really taking the time to understand our business especially on such short notice. I've been getting all kinds of comments on how many it only took a few sessions and you knew our playbook more than others who have been with us for a while. You picked it up super fast and appreciate you getting the team fired up to get SKO started

Richie exceeded all expectations and blew away our sales leaders. His story touched everyone in the room deeply. He also provided a tool my team was able to start executing immediately. Before they even left the room they were using the next play. The next month we increased sales by 55% year over year and the following was 65%

System Pavers

Richie has been working with our sales leaders for over 3 years and everytime we work with him it is always a Mic-Drop talk. I’ve had the opportunity to work with Tony Robbins and Gary Vee and when I heard Richie, I knew he was our guy to work with long term. Over the last year we’ve grown dramatically, we increased our revenue by 24% after implementing the Next Play™

Marco Mcguire

President at DMCG

By the end of Richie’s presentation, I knew the only thing I was missing to get to the next level was accountability. After Richie’s keynote we began working with him in his Next Play™ challenge and we are loving it. We all have the “right” focus and are held accountable each week. The numbers don’t lie!

James Miller

VP of Sales at Reign

Richie’s story and book lit a fire within me. His drive, passion, and relentless will to succeed was reminiscent of my time at Notre Dame. At 5’7” and 155 pounds, Richie overcame the obstacles and the naysayers to earn a full SEC scholarship and a place in Ole Miss tradition.
