Joe, your presentation in San Diego was first class. I had several guests attending ranging from business owners, to CPA’s, to business consultants…and everyone in attendance was entertained, educated and inspired. Thanks!!”
Jeremy Wilson, VP – Chase Bank San Diego

“You gave me/us a blueprint to follow if we wanted to create a company that defied comparison. You asked questions that made me question how we currently approach the business and more importantly gave us thoughts and suggestions to markedly improve upon how we do business. In short I came back so motivated and excited about the future. Your book, ‘Becoming a Category of One’ has become my bible on how we should operate and put ourselves in a position to rise above the competition. Thank you so much for making such a difference in all that I do, both professionally and personally.”

Presentations

We’re making it way more complicated than it needs to be. – Says pretty much everyone!

Be The Best At What Matters Most is an interactive keynote that gets people thinking about what’s really important, what their priorities should be, and what actually drives results in today’s marketplace.

Struggling companies will say “This business is really, really complicated,” while market leaders say “You know, at the end of the day, this is really a pretty simple business.” No, it’s really not rocket science. Success isn’t easy, but it’s not complicated.

When you focus on creating value for customers, it cleans out the noise, brings a team together, and drives positive results.

You will learn and take back…

  • How to get your thinking “clean enough” to make things simple – and then move mountains.
  • How to use strategies that top performers use to keep moving forward and relentlessly improving.
  • How to avoid success-killing complacency and “we’ve got it all figured out.”
  • How to avoid the traps of “wow” distractions and focus on what truly matters most to customers.
  • How to leverage the greatest differentiator of all: action.

Be prepared to participate! Be The Best At What Matters Most gets people involved and actively engaged with ideas that they can put to work immediately to improve performance and drive results.

You’ll look at your business with new eyes and see opportunities that you’ve never seen before.

Becoming A Category Of One is based on Joe’s game changing best-seller about what extraordinary companies and top performing individuals do to create, sustain, and grow success.

It’s not just what you do, it’s how you think that makes all the difference. Developing and always growing a Category of One mindset an be the most powerful thing you do in your business.

Fortune Magazine’s study of the best companies in the world led them to conclude that “the key to performing like one of the world’s most successful businesses is to do several easily identifiable things.” Becoming A Category of One teaches you what top performers do, that any of us can do, if we simply choose to

Feedback that we get on Becoming A Category Of One is typically “We can do this. There’s not one idea here that we can’t go back and do immediately.“

You will learn this and more…

  • How to separate yourself and your company from your competition in a way that truly sets you apart.
  • How to use the power of clarity to bring focus to the most powerful differentiators.
  • How to utilize “The Three Rules” to win customers and keep them for life.
  • How to be so good at the basics that you become a cutting edge innovator.
  • How to use intentional leadership to get buy-in from employees and co-workers.
  • How to compete and win in the real world marketplace of today (and tomorrow), and not get stuck in past success.

You won’t be day-dreaming your way through this interactive presentation. Ideas will be flying around the room and you’ll be taking part in a dynamic session that engages and motivates people to take action on ideas that can change everything.

Becoming A Category Of One is about going beyond being one of the leaders in your category. It’s about being so good, creating such value for the customer, that you create your own category – and you’re the only one in it.

Magnetic: The Art Of Attracting Business is about how to build your business based on a customer-centric strategy.

This strategy uses the power of simplicity, focus, and customer experience to attract customers, keep those customers for life, and create a never-ending stream of new customers.

Learn how to get everyone in your organization focused on creating consistent customer experiences that generate customer satisfaction and grow the business.

  • How to use a fundamental business attraction strategy throughout the entire organization.
  • How to simplify how you think about your business and avoid over-complicating things.
  • How to avoid the trap of “wow” distractions and focus on what truly matters most to customers.
