Speaker/Seminar Topics

Relationship Selling™
The Eight Competencies of Top Sales Producers

We need to rethink how we connect with our customers and suppliers, before our competition does. When Jim Cathcart wrote the book Relationship Selling it was considered revolutionary. Today it is considered standard practice. This presentation shows you what to listen for, how to be natural in your selling style, and how to connect with the underlying elements of buying psychology that most people never heard of.
Self-Leadership:
Rethinking Ourselves For A New Era
ÒIf you can't lead yourself, please
don't lead others.Ó

The most popular methods of leadership, management, sales and service delivery are already dangerously out of date. New technologies require new ways of thinking. Every day another standard practice becomes obsolete. To continue to grow and thrive we must learn to constantly Rethink: our markets, our systems, our relationships, our strategies and ourselves. This presentation combines stories, visuals, research and audience interaction to dramatically impact the way we think.

Speaker/Seminar Topics
The Acorn Principle™ 
Helping People Grow

Jim shows people how to find and grow their natural strengths so that they can always be self motivated. The Acorn Principle is: "Your greatest, fastest and easiest growth always comes from your natural abilities, so Nurture Your Nature." Every person can be very good at certain things, but most people don't know what those things are. A fascinating exploration of what makes us who we are, and how to use it.
The Grandma Factor™ 
Lifetime Customer Loyalty

When you don't find much meaning in what you do, you don't bring much value to what you do. Everyone knows how to provide good service, our challenge is getting them to want to. The real magic in customer service comes from discretionary efforts, when people go beyond their job description. This presentation focuses on the ways systems, strategies, and relationships impact service. Jim teaches "The Grandma Factor" for building your clientele through UpServing.
