Barry shows how to grow a small business by tossing out the old paradigms and traditional sales techniques with easy to follow step by step guide.

Building a Team that Lasts and Lasts

One of the most difficult elements of growing a business is hiring and the right team members. That is why it is critical to be slow to hire and quick to fire. Unfortunately, not many business owners follow this advice. Instead, they hire the first person that reasonably fits the role before they’ve learned a lot about them. Then, if the employee doesn’t work out, they hesitate to fire them. Barry shows how to stop the employee merry-go-round and effectively hire, train, manage and fire people to provide the maximum leverage for every business.

Delivering Customer Service in A Social Media World

For a long time, a company’s commitment to outstanding customer service began and ended in its mission statement. The goal of the customer being number one in most companies is not translated into tactics for training the staff. The truth is that customer service has become the key marketing weapon. In this new age of social media, traditional advertising has become all but meaningless while customer reviews, or “earned media,” take center stage in a customer’s buying decision. Barry teaches how to create an effective Customer Service Manifesto that always boosts sales.

This session uncovers ways to get more done in half the time using “micro-progress techniques”, even in this interruption-based culture.
