EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE & THE EXCEPTIONAL EMPLOYEE
With Johnny “The Transition Man” Campbell

What traits do exceptional employees exhibit? What is exceptional customer service? What are the skills employees need to provide an exceptional experience for your customers?

Today's customers are some of the most demanding in history. They want better service, quicker service, more value, and even more profits. To be successful in the 21st century requires the knowledge and skill to deliver that service.

In this program, you will learn two invaluable techniques: 1) how to identify your customers "core values," and create irresistible customer service offers to keep your customer coming back for more, and 2) how to bring out YOUR winning edge to achieve more, both personally & financially.

"Johnny 'The Transition Man' Campbell, is a combination of the Anthony Robbins / Dr. Phil of the 21st century; his methods and insight into the human condition on how to deal with change is incredible."

Mastering the Write Way: Turning your Business Grammar and Writing into a Masterpiece!

In this fun, updating and skill-refreshing seminar, experience how conga lines, chocolate and game-show games help you take your business writing to the masterpiece level!

It’s no exaggeration that business grammar and writing skills have been sliding down the slippery slope at increasing speeds. The fact is that the written word often replaces face-to-face communication in our business world. The written word is often the first and perhaps only way you and your organization are represented to other organizations – and to the world at large. So in order to be represented as well as possible, at the masterpiece level, it is vital that basic business grammar and writing skills be current, persuasive and mistake free.

In Mastering the Write Way you will have fun (yes, fun!), all the while learning (or re-learning) these all-important business writing skills and objectives:

• Get past writer’s block.
• Learn new ways to organize your thoughts and write better and faster.
• Write to persuade, so you don’t get deleted or tossed in the circular file!
• Avoid wordiness and write more concisely.
• Be reader-centered instead of writer-centered.
• Write to the correct behavioral style. (Nancy is DISC-certified in the four behavioral styles.)
• Get it that punctuation is your friend, not a pain in the neck!
• Cozy up to spelling and work on the most misspelled words.
• Stop arguments between your subject and verb and make them agree.
• See that the real proof is not in the pudding but in the proofreading!

Today Nancy takes to the stage as a professional speaker, author, workshop/retreat leader, educator and consultant.
As Principal of Artful Solutions, Nancy uniquely combines her business expertise in sales, corporate development and business ownership with award-winning years of teaching college art history and humanities. She is the recipient of the highly regarded Master Teacher Award, was selected twice as one of “America’s Best Teachers” in Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers, and is listed in America’s Outstanding Young Women. Numerous Toastmasters awards add to her speaking acumen.

“ Nancy is AWESOME: she was very funny, very knowledgeable and very attentive to EVERONE in the class! The seminar was excellent; I re-learned more than I possibly thought I could have.” Bev Miller, Inspection Supervisor, Dept. of Regulatory Agencies

With the amazing Bob Gray!

A recognized authority on memory systems, Bob has spent the last twenty years traveling the globe entertaining and training corporations, governments and associations to adapt memory systems for their particular needs. He has developed a series of sales oriented personal development keynotes and workshops, which have been popular on four continents, as well as writing the best selling book "Right Brain Rapid Recall".

In this half-day workshop Bob will introduce the group to four major memory systems. The Peg System gives employees the ability to memorize schedules, calendars, meetings, feature lists and rules and regulations. It is one of the easiest time savers you'll ever learn.

The Phonetic Index, often considered to be the single most powerful memory system ever devised, gives the user the ability to recall the biggest stumper of them all - numerical information. On a basic level, the Phonetic Index makes the memorization of phone numbers and serial numbers as easy as smiling. Using it in conjunction with some of Bob's other techniques, it becomes a valuable resource, allowing the student to recall deep banks of information. As an example of this, Bob demonstrates how he himself has memorized the capitals, population and square mileage of every nation on earth, as well as the major world events for every year of the twentieth century. In the workshops, groups never fail to amaze themselves by memorizing, both forwards and in reverse, a randomly generated thirty-digit number. It is an exercise that shows the incredible, untapped potential in each of us.
