HERE ARE SOME QUOTES FROM JIM CATHCART THAT YOU ARE WELCOME TO SHARE: 

Cathcart on Relationship Intelligence®: 

"The more intelligently you choose, create and grow the right relationships the greater your success will be. Relationship Intelligence® will have more impact on your life that IQ or even EQ." 

Cathcart on Embracing Change:

"Change comes from you or to you. Either way, your business doesn't advance until you do. Learn to re-examine your thinking, your skills and your goals every day. Become the person who would attract the results you seek." 

Cathcart on Intelligent Motivation:

“Self motivation means getting yourself to do what needs to be done whether you feel like it or not. That is what separates  the achievers from the followers.” 

Cathcart on High-Value Relationships:

"Your life is a series of relationships. The higher the percentage of High-Value Relationships, the greater your prospects for success. Turn each of your relationships into a High-Value Relationship."

Cathcart on Strategy:

“To embrace change and sustain growth, people require the right: Mindset, Skillsets and Systems.

All of these must grow from the Strategic Purpose of the organization.”

Cathcart on Leadership:

“If you can’t lead yourself, you are not ready to lead others. All leadership must begin with self leadership.”

Cathcart on Public Speaking

"In speaking it is not the speaker, the presentation nor the message that matters most.

What matters most is: The Value The Audience Will Get By Listening To And Applying Your Message"

Cathcart on Sales & Service:

“The purpose of selling is to build profitable relationships. Without relationships there are only transactions and every day is just as hard as the one before it. With stronger sales relationships every day will be easier, more profitable and more fun!”

Cathcart on Growth:

"Nature never stands still, Neither can a business. A business is a living system. We must continually grow as people, as an organization and in our capacity to serve our constituents. When we stop growing we start to rot."

Cathcart on Customer Loyalty:

"Customer loyalty is something you should Give rather than merely seek to recieve. It is best earned by staying loyal to your customers over time even when they don't seem loyal to you. Then they always feel connected with you."

MOST REQUESTED PROGRAMS:
Relationship Intelligence®: High-Value Relationships & Behavioral Economics
Every action has a value or a cost. Jim Cathcart focuses on Return on Relationships, Return on Attitudes, Return on Relationships, and Return on Behavior Patterns in an innovative approach to 'doing what works.'- Things that are measured tend to improve, so be sure you measure the things that truly count.

Relationship Selling in an Ever-Changing Economy
As the author of the original "Relationship Selling," published in 1986, Jim Cathcart has decades of practical experience in seeing what works and what doesn't . His 'Eight Competencies of Relationship Selling,'- written in 2002, emphasizes increasing Sales Readiness at all levels of the organization. He motivates sales people to see customers as assets and to build profitable business friendships. In recessionary times sales are still being made by those who know how. 

Growing Leadership At All Levels
"If you can't lead you, please don't lead me!" Self Leadership is the beginning point for Organizational Leadership. Jim's bestseller "The Acorn Principle" grows out of his psychological research coupled with cutting edge business strategy and shows people how to use the collective intellect of the organization to tap individual strengths and maximize motivation. He shows how to get people to embrace the 'genetic code'- of your organization.

UpServing (tm) - Lifetime Customer Loyalty
Customer loyalty is to be given, not just received. If we want continuing business from someone, we must first be more loyal to them. "UpServing," a term coined by Jim Cathcart, is about seeking to upgrade the level of satisfaction achieved at every contact point with the customers. This leads to larger purchases, less sales resistance, easier recoveries, and more repeat and referral business. But first it requires a different Mindset.

Why? Because his message comes from a rare universe that's filled with compelling stories, powerful analogies and infinite wisdom. But that's not all. Jim truly enjoys his time on earth to the fullest, he's developed his abilities to the fullest and he's one of the special few who can claim to live a life that's meaningful and fulfilling. He's risen to the highest level of his profession and today he doesn't care what the world thinks of him. What he cares most about is what he can give back to the world.

“What makes Jim Cathcart different from any of the thousands of professional speakers and business authors in the marketplace today? The answer, for me, comes down to three things: (1) Jim is an original and deep thinker. Jim raises questions, provides insights, and challenges you to grow beyond the obvious to make you and your business truly distinctive. (2) Jim is the consumate professional. He has every award and certification available in the speaking profession. Now there are lots of people with awards and certifications, but Jim is that rare professional who continues to do all of the little things that earned him all the awards in the first place. (3) Jim has the ability to effectively operate at the strategic and tactical levels. There are those who do a great job at the strategic questions of what and why, but can't help you implement. And, there are those who can help you with skills, but have no clue if the competencies are being applied in the proper context to achieve a strategic goal. Jim is unique in his ability to do both, and that makes him a valuable resource for you and your organization. Randy Pennington Author, Results Rule!
