Over the past 25 years, he has helped more than 100 major corporations, sports teams and other organizations in 30 countries develop and deliver programs that improve productivity, increase sales, decrease costs and inspire winning teams.

 

   Dr. de Posada is the author of Don't Eat the Marshmallow... Yet!, which received a favorable writeup in the New York Times (9/4/05 Business Section). Proving his motivational approach with famous academic studies on the lasting benefits of self-discipline, Dr. de Posada shares the keys to personal and professional success.

 

   Dr. de Posada also wrote How to Survive Among Piranhas, a book showing readers how to succeed in life and business, based on famous achievers and his own experience.

Programs

 

Effective Sales Skills: Creating Headaches, the Smart Way to Sell

   In this highly customized, interactive program, Dr. de Posada focuses on the face-to-face skills essential to satisfy the customer's wants and needs. The word persuasion will have a new meaning after your team has learned the different techniques that will make them more effective.

 

   The heart of this program is “how to create a headache in a customer” so that they will feel inclined to buy the aspirin (your product or service). Your staff will learn what questions to ask and how to ask them so that you may find the true customer's need and can then match it to the benefits of your product or service, leading to an effective close. "Spray and pray" will no longer be the method to sell. Finally, they will learn how to handle different customer attitudes faced in a sales call.

 

Psychology Applied to Sales: The Power of the Mind

   Participants are invited to experience, the potential each and every one has to achieve whatever goals they want to achieve. Results in your life can be obtained to a degree you never dreamed possible. Dr. de Posada shares his special blend of mental and perception exercises designed to make you understand that there is much more out there than what you are seeing now. At the end of this program, you will know and feel that you have what it takes and it all depends on you.

 

   Additional programs are available in motivation, leadership and management.

 

 

Daniel Gutierrez - Motivational Speaker: Stepping Into Greatness

 

   Daniel Gutierrez is a published author and leading national motivational speaker. Leveraging his own background, training, and experience, his infectious humor, and his deep belief that there is greatness in each of us, Gutierrez is a compelling presenter who has inspired Fortune 500 companies and individuals alike to make positive changes that lead to success.

   His new book, "Stepping Into Greatness: Success Is Up To You," is Gutierrez’s latest offering designed to help each of us realize our fullest potential. With characteristic candor and wit, Gutierrez paints a vivid and insightful picture of his life and learning, which form the basis for the methodologies he has developed for enabling each of us to live more fully and succeed more consistently.

   From the moment Gutierrez takes the stage at an event, his potent energy makes a connection with his audience. A certified seminar leader and practitioner of neuro-linguistic programming, Gutierrez speaks plainly and persuasively from the heart about subjects including living your dreams; discovering your passion; challenging your beliefs; looking for the “yes” rather than the “no;” staying the course; and becoming leaders.

   As a management consultant, Gutierrez outlines fresh approaches to improving productivity, enabling the progress of diversity, and boosting the bottom line. Examples of such engagements include:

·          Best Buy: Given two years to turn around one of their stores, Gutierrez did it in 90 days by creating a sense of belonging among employees and inspiring them to perform because they wanted to, out of pride for themselves and the company. As Gutierrez himself says, “It’s all about people."

·          Comp USA: Gutierrez worked with a team, enabling them to build the skills to quadruple their monthly sales from $300,000 to $1.3 million. For that amazing return on investment, Gutierrez earned the "Spotlight on Sales Success" award for outstanding performance from a corporate senior vice president.

   Gutierrez was recently appointed National Leadership Coach for Association of Latino Professionals in Finance and Accounting. He created the first-ever Latino conference, Imagine, which has been held in Los Angeles, San Jose and Dallas. At each event, nationally known Latino leaders convene and encourage participants to cultivate their own strengths and plan for their own success stories.

 

   Featured in Latino Style magazine, he also is the founder of the Latino Empowerment Foundation, the mission of which is to empower leading and up-and-coming young Latinos in the areas of the arts and education.
