What is "success"? For some, it may be reaching a specific income level, having a "fat" bank account or a beautiful home. For others, it may be taking special vacations, spending more time with our family or enjoying nature. As we rush down the road of life — a key question to ask is, “Am I making a living or living my life?” In this idea-packed and energizing session, Barbara will help us evaluate the critical choices necessary to slow down, live with an attitude of gratitude, and find time to sip cappuccino!

Thousands of dollars are spent annually on what many CEOs think will develop a sales and service culture in their organization. Usually these are short-term "quick fixes" like training and incentives. Why are the effects fleeting? Why are these approaches ineffective over the long term? Those who are successful in sales and service take steps that reach to the very core of their organization. Topical solutions won’t work. In this idea-packed, interactive program, Barbara Sanfilippo outlines a comprehensive, step-by-step process to build a high performance service and sales culture. Topics include: measuring internal and external service, developing standards, setting goals, instilling accountability, providing incentives and recognition, orienting new employees and much more. You'll receive a detailed handout, useful exhibits, suggested timetables, pitfalls to avoid and a process you can begin immediately.

In this highly entertaining and informative program, attendees will learn why service is so important, how to acknowledge and greet people, how to serve our internal customers, how to recognize cues and approach the customers about our services, and, most importantly, how to take responsibility for motivating ourselves.
