You learn proven principles successful people use to accomplish their personal and business life dreams. You will walk away with the knowledge how to build the life you want by accomplishing personal and business goals.

The problem isn’t that we need more time. We are all giving 25 hours a day. The problem is how we manage our activities. Dreaming about a better life, job, relationship or income is common to all of us. What is not common is how we go about our day turning imaginations into real accomplishments.

Course Agenda

Topic: How to Create Goals and Set Priorities
The value of goals:
People who write their goals down accomplish significantly more than those who do not write their goals.

Goals:

  • Organize your thinking
  • Organize your dreaming
  • Organize your time

The reason why so many people don’t set goals:

  • They haven’t been taught the value
  • They don’t know how
  • They don’t want to fail
  • They have been disappointed by New Year’s resolutions

The strategy for goal setting:

  • What are your most pressing concerns?
  • What’s keeping you up at night?
  • What do you dream about?
  • Allowing the time to set goals properly
  • Choosing a word for the year

The fuel for goals:

  • Expansive thinking
    • If you had no limits what would you do?
    • If you had six months to live what would you do?
    • If you won the lottery what would you change in your life?
    • If you knew you could not fail what you attempt?

The infrastructure behind successful goals:

  • Specific
  • Measurable
  • Attainable
  • Realistic
  • Time bound

The Priority Matric

  • Urgent but not important
  • Important but not urgent
  • Time Wasters

The turbo charge for accomplishing your goals:

  • Regular review
  • Accountability

Testimonials

"We brought Stepp in to do a leadership training with our entire management team for a six month period. The topics and strategies that Stepp brings to the table are second to none. Our leadership team took away valuable skills and traits that will have a lasting effect on our organization and will be taught to our entire sales team. Additionally, his strategy of overcoming objections has been implemented into our sales process and increased our sales presentations drastically."

Joseph Kozel, ASAP Roofing

 

“In 2012 when I was presented an opportunity to crossover into medical supply/equipment sales role, I began searching for a sales training course that would help ensure my success in this new role. I reached out to Stepp for his advice and he told me about course he already had designed entitled “2Meeting Close which is part of the Sales Meeting Mastery Course” that could provide critical key foundational elements for sales persons. It included information about prospecting, time management, conducting sales meetings, buyer styles, smart negotiation, as well as many other important items. Because I was committed to succeeding in this new role, I invested money out of my own pocket to begin this coursework immediately on my own time and it didn’t take very long to start seeing results. When I was hired for the role, they told me that no one in the 36-year history of the company had ever made quota in that territory. They also told me to expect it to take me at least 2 – 3 years to begin making the territory profitable.”

Marty Partida, Medical Sales Account Represenative

“Stepp’s hard-earned expertise is so simple yet so profound. Practice the art of countering objections, and a year from today everything ‘sales’ will change in your organization!”

Pamela Walters, executive vice president, the Devine Group, Inc.

 

Stepp has been a friend and a business partner for several years. Initially, Stepp did sales training for our Sales Professionals and Sales Managers at Cox. We achieved positive results and this lead to our further developing work with Sales Professional and Sales Manager profiling using DISC Tool and Devine Inventory Tools. We continue to use the tools and I know that we have saved money by being able to focus on development based upon the individual’s personal responses to questions within the tools. This has helped us put the "right people" in the "right seats" (hunting, farming, account management, consultative selling, major account management, etc.) on "The Sales Bus" We continue to work with Stepp and because we are getting substantially better productivity as a business partner.

Randy Chandler, VP Cox Communications
