MOST REQUESTED PROGRAMS:

Here’s a brief sampling of some of the keynote/seminar topics offered by Jeff.  Each program or learning system can also include customized learning materials, audio CDs and video DVDs, books, train-the-trainer manuals, etc.  Also, a topic should never be considered an “entity” by itself.  Many are combined to create a total body of knowledge or learning-system for a two or three day event or a learning system over time.

Opportunity $elling®/Your Path to Profit®
Nothing happens 'til somebody sells something.  This "how-to" program helps sales professionals realize that everything they touch...can turn to sold!

Customers are the lifeblood of your business.  They pay your salary!  You'll learn how to maximize every customer contact to promote loyalty and profitability.

Negotiating Know How - The Power of “Yes”
As a lawyer and businessperson, Jeff approaches this crucial business skill from both a legal and practical perspective.  Your ability to get a “yes,” professionally and personally will influence the course of your life.

Referrals: Your Road to Results!
Referrals are an untapped market.  Without them, you’re innocently bypassing millions of dollars in potential business.  They’re leads with virtually no acquisition cost.  And all you have to do, is ask!

Change: Capsize or Capitalize
The “old way” may not be the “only way”...since it may blind you to new ideas, solutions and opportunities.  Knowing how to handle change can open your floodgates to new levels of prosperity and achievement.

Marketing Magic
The purpose of marketing is simple—to generate results and increase sales.  Period!  Jeff removes the myths and helps you master the magic!

Manage, Move & Motivate
Winning managers or leaders—know that to boost quality, productivity and performance...leadership is a verb, not a noun!

Jeff combines his background as an international speaker, lawyer, author and broadcast personality—to turn the “typical” panel discussion, symposium or moderated program into a lively, fast-paced information exchange.

Personal Success Coaching
