SMT News

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I am feeling like we have the “Luck O’ the Irish” this week for two reasons:

1. Kendra Lee of KLA writes about using testimonials to grow your business. She shares personal examples and gives step by step advice on how to use them for maximum impact. It’s not just luck when you have a great testimonial! To learn more click on, “Use Testimonials to Attract Prospects and Win Sales.”

2. The second reason I am feeling lucky is that we finalized our program for the conference! We have an incredible agenda including powerful speakers such as Dave Stein and Gary Kunath, along with other nationally recognized experts in your field. During this popular event, you will mingle with training professionals and sales leaders learning and sharing new concepts that will make you stand apart in your industry.

Let me tell you a bit about our Keynote and Capstone Speakers:

Dave Stein CEO and Founder of ES Research Group, Inc kicks off the conference with his keynote presentation “Sales Excellence 2012: Overcoming Tough Obstacles, Achieving Measurable Results”. You will recognize Dave through his widely read blog www.davesteinsblog.wordpress.com. Dave writes the featured, monthly sales column for Sales and Marketing Management magazine and is author of How Winners Sell. These three platforms have been widely acclaimed as providing those in sales and leadership with tools and advice they need to win. Dave will show you how to create the results you and your companies need to succeed!

Lori Champion sat down and spoke with Dave earlier this month. Click on her article, “Meet Dave Stein,” to learn more about him.

Gary Kunath, CEO of The Summit Group will deliver his powerful message “Creating Life Worth- Achieving Personal and Professional Excellence in Turbulent Times” to close us out with energy! His message hits home both professionally and personally. Gary Kunath is one of the most highly sought after speakers today for his engaging style and humor, but most importantly his cutting edge thinking around driving business and personal value. Gary will show how to more creatively drive value in these tough economic times and also how to elevate your ability to be authentic, have fun and to improve your natural productivity and that of your employees. This talk will share secrets of generating business value and how to provide a clear path to achieving a Centered Life, reconnecting to what truly matters so you can gain and sustain a high “Life Worth”™. You don’t want to miss Gary’s powerful message that will change your life.

We will feature an interview with Gary in an upcoming issue of SMT Connections.

And if these powerful speakers don’t make us feel lucky enough, we have Gary Summy’s stimulus plan, a winning combination to help you not just survive but thrive in business. Register today to take advantage of over a 50% discount off conference pricing, time is running out.

We can’t wait to meet you in Orlando!

“Lots O’ Luck” this week,

Lanie
