Lloyd Smigel

Your Facilitator

At last, an organized 2 day meeting of ethical, progressive, non-competitive peer companies dedicated to sharing ideas and resources that will positively impact your bottom line through Sales, Marketing, Human Relations and help avoid TURNOVER and potential law suites.

A 2 day session for selected owners and managers.  the goal is simple - We want YOU to come out of these 2 days with practical ideas and directions for your company.  Learn from people who have DONE it.  At the same time - They will learn from you.  We all have our strengths and experiences - Here's the opportunity to learn from others and POOL OUR RESOURCES from different companies across the country. 

To insure openness, no competitive local companies will be approved to enter individual groups. 

How do OTHER companies do it?  Learn the specifics:

What additional innovative services do other companies have?

How do they incorporate them with their present company?

How do we create an effective training program for our reps?

How do other companies AVOID potential lawsuits?

How do smaller companies create a Sales Program?

Where do they find good people?

How do other companies create a real Team?

How do other companies create their Strategic Intent?

How do other companies select a niche in the industry?

How do other companies cut their labor costs?

 

This is NOT going to be two days of lecture. We will have ROUND TABLE DISCUSSIONS, BRAINSTORMING SESSIONS, PARTICIPATORY PRESENTATIONS FROM YOUR PEERS ("How I do it"), BREAKOUTS as well as potential OFFICE VISITS and SHARED EXPERIENCES in all areas.

 

This two day retreat will be the first of 3 meetings with this group each year. Every four months we will all get back together and see what has been implemented by others, what problems we had and how to avoid them. This will be an ongoing forum to KEEP YOUR BUSINESS ON TRACK!

 

EXCLUSIVITY: Open to maximum 20 non-competing representatives across the U.S. (members missing two consecutive meetings may have their Retreat positions re-opened for other competitive companies to join as their replacements)

 

LOCATIONS: Dallas, TX or as the group chooses

 

PRE REGISTRATION ONLY. NO WALK-INS

 

Learn how to get the COMPETITIVE EDGE from companies and people who are doing it and/or who have DONE IT! .

 

GROUP SIZES: To help each member gain from the experience of others, we have independent groups. This way it will be easier to concentrate on the monies as well as the situations that face these similar sized companies.

 

COST: $800 for the 1 st person in your company and $600 for the 2 nd person and $400 for a 3 rd person per meeting.

 

Where else can you get the combined expertise of so many of your colleagues as well as being led by someone who has been there - done that and a consultant to the industry? Where else can you get SPECIFICS and openly share actual problems with each other?

 

Discovery Retreat Testimonials

Belonging to the Discovery Retreat Group has been a tremendous asset to Humboldt Termite & Pest Control, myself, and my family as well. The recent topic discussed at our group was on sales. It was very informative on how to develop a sales organization for our company. The information given by Lloyd and shared by the other members of the group who already have sales people, made the idea of a sales team a reality. It gave us the step by step process we would have to take in order to make it a success. It was very beneficial to hear about the trials & errors, as well as the successes, of others. It will save us quite a few steps in development, because we know what to do, and we also learned what not to do.

I am very grateful to belong to this group. It's real people doing the business, some companies smaller and some companies larger. The topics pertain to everyday problems and goals. No other classes I've attended have compared to this. The people in this class, including Lloyd, are doing this business everyday and are successful at it. This is not just a person teaching a class on a topic that doesn't pertain to making your company stronger and more profitable. I would recommend the Discovery Retreat Group to anyone just starting out, wanting to expand, or even just to be involved with other companies to share information.
