Influencing the BUY Decision

This presentation focuses on marketing and branding strategies for small businesses, local businesses, and consultants looking to drive customer engagement, influence anyone making the “buy” decision, and how you can do it all in a consistent voice.

Finding your "it" factor

Knowing what makes you unique and separates you from your competition, places you on the road to total domination in your industry. We call it your “it” factor.

You know what we are talking about, right? You can’t quite put your finger on what “it” is, but you know sure companies have “it.”

Apple has “it,” Coca-Cola has “it.” Microsoft has “it.” Nike has “it.” You have “It” too.

Managing and Leading Creative Teams

Understanding the difference between leadership and management is crucial for new leaders. This presentation reviews the traits and skills of effective managers and leaders and how they are different.

Productive, Not Busy

The first key to being productive (and not just busy), is not to let things rattle around in your head. We’re going to get you into the habit of getting all of your “stuff” organized and prioritized so that when you do act on something, you can be 100% focused on that task, and not distracted by the “cognitive itch” of things just floating out there unorganized.
