Featured Speakers

Budgeting for Profitability

Peter Mueller

It is difficult knowing how to project and plan for profit unless you have a method. The “Strategic Audit” is a patented process designed to do just that. Because most financial statements are laid out in order to mitigate taxes and balance your books most business owners have no idea how to understand their financial reports and to extract the numbers necessary to operate their business effectively.

In this program you will learn:

- How to unpollute your numbers

- The 11 Steps to the “Strategic Audit” process

- How to identify clearly your most important K.P.I (key performance indicator)

- How to effectively create a budget for your business

- How to budget for profit

Marketing: It's the Most Misunderstood Word in the Business

Mark Stevens

Many clients you’re seeking to provide marketing support for don’t have a clue about good marketing; it’s up to you to help them. Mark Stevens will share tactics that can turn your company into a bona fide marketing resource—working with your Sales Associates to prove the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of their marketing, effectively describing their offerings, differentiating their business from their competitors, determining the best methods to sell efficiently, capturing leads and following up on them, and structuring steady growth plans. Stevens shattered conventional wisdom when he published his best seller, Your Marketing Sucks. Join Mark for an insightful and enlightening morning at this year's Leadership Summit.
