Make my Life Easier: What the 21st Century Customer Really Wants
With the ability to buy almost anything you want or need from an 800# or the Internet, the day of the mediocre salesperson is dead. Salespeople can no longer win a customer’s business by playing a round of golf with them or buying them lunch. The 21st century customer is more demanding than ever and will only deal with people who are ready, willing and able to add extra value to everything they sell. In this frequently-requested keynote speech, Warren Greshes discusses the specific attitudes and skills 21st century salespeople will need to differentiate themselves from the competition and succeed in a highly competitive global economy.

It is designed to teach salespeople how to motivate themselves effectively and keep the motivation going by determining their core values and what truly motivates them.

The Agent of the 21st Century
The business world is more competitive today than it has ever been in its entire history. Only 20 years ago there were companies that didn’t exist and countries whose economies didn’t exist that are major players in today’s world. In other words, there is no more business as usual. The age of doing business by accident is over. Now, while there is as much if not more opportunity out there than ever, there is no more margin for error. The companies and people who will succeed today, tomorrow and in the future are the ones who are willing to do everything right. Life insurance is something that can now be bought through 800#’s and the Internet without ever having to deal with an agent. The agent of the future will have to be more professional, more educated and more knowledgeable about the industry than ever before. In his usual high-energy, no-nonsense style, Warren Greshes will focus on a number of critical things managers and agents will need to do to differentiate themselves from the competition and create the kind of value-added services the marketplace will demand. What makes this speech unique is that as someone who is a business owner with a high income and over $1,000,000 worth of life insurance, Warren comes at it from the point of view of the marketplace and what it really wants.
The 21st Century Food Merchant
The business world is more competitive today than it has ever been in its entire history. Only 20 years ago there were companies that didn't exist and countries whose economies didn't exist that are major players in today's world. In other words, there is no more business as usual. The age of doing business by accident is over. Now, while there is as much if not more opportunity out there than ever, there is no more margin for error. The companies and people who will succeed today, tomorrow and in the future are the ones who are willing to do everything right. One of the industries experiencing this rapid change is the Retail Food Industry. With the advent of women in the workplace; the two income couple; and prepared, ready-to-eat meals, the supermarket of the 21st century will look nothing like it used to. Add in the fact that time-strapped shoppers are expected to buy $11 billion worth of groceries over the Internet by the year 2003 and it is obvious that the successful supermarket of the future will have to do more than just “sell stuff” to its customers. In this exciting, entertaining, yet informative keynote, Warren Greshes will show you what smart companies are doing to create the kind of unique shopping experiences and extra value for their customers that make it more beneficial for them to come to the store than to just click on their computers.
