Areas of Expertise
Sales training
Sales is a process, it isn’t luck. Systems, processes and taking clients on a journey all lead to increased bottom lines. In today’s modern marketplace creating value, sharing new technologies and looking at each moment as an opportunity to spark creativity is imperative to sales success. You can be an order taker or a partner, the partners are who survive.
Diversifying print products
Digital print is much more than small run, low profit projects. Digital print allows for our industry re-imagined. Passive income, high margin orders, award-winning output and client retention are the names of the game when introducing digital solutions and diversifying your production plant.
public speaking + Panel participation
Group presentations, putting on events and assembling rich conference content is challenging even for the most seasoned producers. Whether it’s understanding the mind of the purchaser, working with creatives, diversifying portfolios or mastering sales as a process, my content will provide your attendees tangible skills and follow through.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
Sales stagnant? Sales force seem uninspired or complacent? These ruts happen to even the most successful of businesses. Often we forget, not the how, but the why behind our business, our company culture and our mission. Strategy, training and processes can right the ship and get your entire team leading with the why.
Print distruption
Variable data, print on demand, print portals and new technologies that print texture or laser cut are on the forefront of marketers’ minds. Inspire the creative community and win elegant print projects by understanding today’s complex market place. Print isn’t dead, it is re-inspired and your clients are looking to take advantage of these new technologies.
leadership development
Our industries need the next generation of leaders – those who understand what it means to lead by example, nurture and expose the skills of those who work around them. Developing talent takes skill, patience and tools to help measure the work.
