Jim Cathcart Speaking Topics

Relationship Selling™ (Treating Connections as Assets), The Power Minute (Motivation), The Acorn Principle (Tapping Your Potential), Leadership and Motivation, Relationship Intelligence®, Communication Strategies
Relationship Selling in the New Era

As the author of the original Relationship Selling, published in 1986, Jim Cathcart has decades of practical experience in seeing what works and what doesn’t. His Eight Competencies of Relationship Selling written in 2002, emphasizes increasing Sales Readiness at all levels of the organization. He motivates sales people to see customers as assets and to build profitable business friendships.

Growing Leadership At All Levels

“If you can’t lead you, please don’t lead me!” Self Leadership is the beginning point for Organizational Leadership. Cathcart’s best seller The Acorn Principle grows out of his psychological research coupled with cutting edge business strategy and shows people how to use the collective intellect of the organization to tap individual strengths and maximize motivation. He shows how to get people to embrace the “genetic code” of your organization.

The Grandma Factor: Lifetime Customer Loyalty

When you find meaning in what you do, you bring value to what you do. Everyone knows how to provide good service; our challenge is getting them to want to. The real magic in customer service comes from discretionary efforts, when people go beyond their job description. This presentation focuses on the ways systems, strategies, standards, and relationships impact service. Jim Cathcart teaches building your clientele through “up-serving.”

Rethinking Ourselves for a New Era

"If you can't lead yourself, please don't lead others." The most popular methods of leadership, management, sales, and service delivery are already dangerously out of date. New technologies require new ways of thinking. Every day another standard practice becomes obsolete. To continue to grow and thrive we must learn to constantly rethink our markets, our systems, our relationships, our strategies, and ourselves. This presentation combines stories, visuals, research, and audience interaction to dramatically improve the way we think and act.

Intelligent Motivation for a Challenging World

Knowledge and skill will not win the day, but confident action can change your world. Learn how to increase your drive, strengthen your discipline, and sustain the action that is needed to succeed. “Intelligent Motivation” is determining what is important, identifying what action is needed, and doing what is necessary to generate and sustain that action until your desired outcome is achieved. It is conscious, objective, intentional, and relentless action on vision, focus, standards, meaning, agreements, measures, and rewards. In this program, Jim Cathcart will teach you how to inspire vision, take focused action, create firm standards, make your work more meaningful, and develop clear agreements, accurate measures, and appealing rewards.
