As part of our community give-back, I give business talks in the community to help business owners grow in their knowledge and ability to lead their companies to greater success. The following are outlines for talks I am prepared to present for your group, club, or trade association: The “Core Disciplines of Business” In Business “You don’t know what you don’t know” and often “what you don’t know” is what gets in your way of success. The Estrada Strategies Core Disciplines of Business will introduce you to all the key elements of business that must be systematized to have a fully functioning sustainable business. It is through the implementation of sound systems that the business owner is freed up to work on the higher impact initiatives that drive business growth, profitability and ultimately liquidity. The “Executive Maturity Curve”Just as there are four stages of maturity in live, child, adolescent, adult and senior, there are stages of maturity for business owners. Interestingly enough, tenure has very little to do with where you are on the Executive Maturity Curve; however, where you are on the Executive Maturity Curve has EVERYTHING to do with what you spend your time doing. The “Sales Process”There is no question that all businesses are looking for better and faster ways to increase their sales; yet so few businesses have developed a comprehensive, measurable and predictable “Sales Process”. Learning the Estrada Strategies Sales Process will provide you with the framework from which to fully develop and build your companies specific marketing and Sales strategies. "Corporate Culture and Effective Leadership”What is the difference between a Vision statement and a Mission statement? Why should all companies have a defined set of Core Values? Should the business owner spend their time on managing people or leading people and managing systems? All questions will be answered in this highly interactive and entertaining talk about crafting your corporate Culture. "Going Deeper in the Relationship: Discovering your Purpose and Passion in Business As business owners, how do we communicate the deep passion we have for the future of our business? What drives our marketing messages, advertising, and branding efforts? How do we create lifelong clients that will help us grow our business? How does the market perceive what you do and how you do it? How do you create a brand that is recognized in your market? Answers to these and other deeper business relationship questions will be addressed in a dynamic and interactive presentation. Future Speaking Engagements:
