Business Growth Leadership Forum
This Forum is a great place for Leaders to get outside input on issues they face and spend time on topics that are worth reviewing, reflecting on, and taking action to sustain and grow their organization as well as themselves as a leader.
Typical Scenario
Once transitions or turnarounds are maturing there is a need for ongoing personal and professional growth to sustain the individual and adapt to ongoing challenges.
Outcomes
This peer-to-peer group places like-minded, continuous learning leaders in a forum to learn, share ideas, and get advice and support for company-specific issues in a very safe environment. There are also content issues driven by the needs of the group, such as time management, “managing up”, coaching effectiveness, and staffing strategies and so on.
OUR CLIENTS
Partners in Business Growth
Our clients share one thing in common, they want to get better and want to learn. Typically, an ideal engagement works along the entire Strategic Management Growth Process, working with all organizational levels helping implement strategies and developing the people who are charged with making it happen. We work with a variety of clients, especially technology ones such as:
“I am an entrepreneur/merchant at heart. One of voids in growing the business was a stronger degree of professional management. Rob has brought that to the organization by advising, coaching and putting the disciplines in place to make the Equature vision a reality. Rob works with many departments, mentoring, developing and establishing an accountability factor that keeps us on track. Rob works well with the team, in a collaborative, non-threatening way that enhances our growth.”
“I started working with Rob shortly after I moved from an engineering role into a new role building a sales team for our company. Rob has been instrumental in helping me structure everything from hiring and onboarding plans, sales process and best practices, and generally be a sounding board throughout strategy and high level development tasks, as I moved into a sales and company leadership role. Rob not only provides training, structure and guidance, but really works as a coach and sounding board, facilitating personal development and thoughtful engagement. I always derive value from our one-on-one sessions as well as the sales leadership meetings he runs. He does a great job focusing on the present and helping keep an eye on the future. I look forward to seeing what his continued engagement helps me and my team achieve.”
“Working with Rob as a sales coach has been a true collaboration and asset to our company. Rob spent time understanding our business and adapting his knowledge to give VersaCall invaluable sales, customer service, and business tools. With Rob’s guidance and expertise, we now have a well-planned sales department and strategy where we are able to consistently grow sales.”
“Rob brought definition to our sales process, created a strong system of accountability, advanced the sales development and closing skills of our team, and assisted us in bringing on additional resources. Rob was able to quickly assess our current situation, identify what was needed, and then developed a plan to get it done. The results? Record sales in just a few short months and a record year.”
“MIE Solutions was having sales process issues and we knew there had to be some changes for our company. I was impressed by Rob’s ability to communicate the common problems most sales organizations and people have, and actually come up with process solutions. I invited Rob in to work with the sales team in sales training, sales process flow and new hires. Rob also worked on organizational charts and job descriptions, product offerings (including pricing), and sales management dashboards. I suggest in a support organization you use Rob to help train staff on how to communicate effectively with clients. It’s difficult to find consultants that work with your whole team without an ego, and I found Rob was able to come in and do the job. ”
“Coach Rob Swette has helped me become the professional I am over the past 8 years. I have been able to grow from an everyday street rep into leading & building a team into my current role as VP of Sales at Societe Brewing Co. The Journey does not stop here, Rob always has a way to help me find the way to get to my next level and supports me in that endeavor. I hope to always have Rob in my corner both as a professional & personal mentor. His calm but “No Bullshit” approach really helps me cut through to what really matters to make action. Thanks Rob!”
