AREAS OF SPECIALTY

  • Motivating People to Succeed in your Organization

    Let me show you how building morale and motivating your people to succeed is based on more than just personality and style. There are a few specific things a manager must do that are far more important.

  • Managing Growth

    I successfully grew a single location start-up into a $25,000,000 company that served 10 states prior to selling it to a Fortune 500 Company. My personal experience can give you a head-start on what to do and what not to do.

  • Sales and Marketing Excellence

    Want a powerful sales force? Leverage my experience managing salespeople in multiple, diverse markets. You will learn why, to achieve greatness, salespeople must be managed very differently than your admin and operations.

  • Structure & Processes For Maximum Results

    Innovating structure and business processes from scratch has enabled my company to grow rapidly with strong levels of client services. Let's talk to create and utilize and high levels of organization within your business.
