With "Take the Gamble Out" Seminar Info

Attention Business Owners and Executives!

"Finally... Here's the FIRST EXECUTIVE SEMINAR to Teach You a FAST, EFFECTIVE, and EASY Hiring Process for Selecting EAGLES so You Never Have to Worry about Being Blindsided by WEASELS! And your satisfaction is GUARANTEED in 2 ways!"

“Our sales are up nearly $3,000,000 since we started working with you last year. Your information showed us how to get the right people in the right places on both the executive and sales teams.”

- Wayne Lynn, President, Belk Printing Technologies

Dear Business Executive,

My name is Doug Smart. Over the past 20 years I've worked with literally tens of thousands of business owners, executives and employees to teach them ways to work smarter not harder. But I must confess, sometimes it can really be frustrating. Sometimes I continue to run into the same harsh facts that frustrate individuals and their companies over and over again. And frankly, I see this in every industry.

Fact: 40% of the workforce dislikes their jobs (Source: US Dept of Labor)

Fact: 50% of management level hires are failures. They fail to produce expected results (Source: Research conducted by Smart Business International)

Fact: One bad hire in the $90,000 to $150,000 salary range CAN COST YOU 150 HOURS in trying to clean up the mess -- and can produce numerous management headaches (Source: Topgrading: How Leading Companies Win by Hiring, Coaching and Keeping the Best Employees)

That's what lead me to create this one-of-a-kind seminar -- so business leaders just like you could have a proven, FAST, EASY, ACCURATE method for ensuring they put the right people in the right jobs. I've seen too many good, honest, well-meaning people continue to struggle in jobs that just aren't good for them. This takes a heavy toll on their productivity and morale. In fact, it happened to me in my early work life and that's why I'm so sensitive to it.

When it comes to choosing key people for executive jobs, I've seen too many good organizations roll the dice and suffer the consequences. One bank spent $60,000 to hire, train and retain an executive who, after only 90 days, wound up quitting to take another job!

Losing at the executive level can cost your organization tons of money, hours of wasted time, and endless squandered opportunities. And then you have to factor in damage done when the company's reputation is soured with customers, co-workers, lenders and shareholders because of the failings of even one single executive.

My proven process takes practically all the gamble out of hiring and promoting employees. The fact is, it works!

Now you can be absolutely certain to select the BEST PEOPLE who will do the absolute BEST JOB for you and your organization.

My seminar will teach you....

How to hire, promote and develop the best people who will do the best job for you and your company.

How to speed up the hiring process AND SIMULTANEOUSLY raise the quality of your choices.

How to provide exactly the right development opportunities and management for each new hire and promotion

How to enjoy greater confidence when hiring and promoting because you'll no longer feel the need to whisper to yourself, "I hope this one works out better than the last one"!

With my Smart Hiring Process, you can:

Confidently select, hire, and promote employees who serve in leadership positions such as Sales Manager, Branch Manager, Office Manager, HR Director, VP of Finance, Operations Manager, Plant Manager, Regional Vice President, National Director of Sales and many more key positions.

Learn effective methods for getting the right people in the right places if you are merging teams, departments or companies.

Learn how to gain a competitive advantage by learning how to put to use the newest scientifically validated research in talent selection. You will blow away your competition.

Put this information to work immediately so you can:

Eliminate the huge financial drain that under-achievers cause

Reduce management headaches, squabbles and costly mistakes

Build a high-powered management team that delights your customers and clobbers your competition

SPECIAL BONUS: You can use the information you learn in this seminar to substantially increase the productivity and job satisfaction of EXISTING employees. (I'll show you how. It's easy and your employees will love it.)

"One of the most obvious differences between good and great companies is that great companies have a system

for putting the right people in the right seats on the bus."

- Jim Collins, author of Good to Great

This executive level seminar is for business owners, CEOs, executives and other leaders who makes critical hiring, firing or promotion decisions.

You will learn new techniques used by major organizations

3M, AT&T, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Chase, GE Capital, IBM, Marriott, Nissan, Xerox and other leading organizations

"Not using this system is like driving with your eyes closed."

Never get stuck with expensive under-achievers.

Fact: 71% of workers privately claim they’re either “not engaged” or “actively disengaged“ while on the job (Gallup survey). Unmotivated workers cost business $350 billion per year (Gallup survey).

"Job dissatisfaction infects and poisons leadership teams, too. "

Bonus: Do you have any “misfits” now? You’ll learn new ways to turn things around and significantly increase their productivity and job satisfaction.



"Top leaders are the ultimate decision makers for building leadership teams. The buck stops at the top."

You will learn...

   How to surround yourself with highly qualified people who are passionate about doing the work you hire them to do

     How to use newly discovered secrets for getting the right people in the right jobs (There's been a great deal of research done on this lately -- with some amazing new findings. I'll give you a hint: You can now match people to jobs with the same precision eHarmony uses to match two people romantically. You'll be glad to learn how because this skill alone can make a boatload of money for you!)

     How to identify diamonds in the rough while simultaneously safeguarding yourself so a bad apple doesn’t disrupt your goals, run off customers or put you out of business

You will know how to spot trouble BEFORE it becomes OBVIOUS and EXPENSIVE. (This information alone is well worth the price of this seminar!)

And you will learn....

     How to keep your organization from falling prey to skilled manipulators who harbor hidden attitudes and agendas

     How to avoid the unseen mistake most people make in interviews. Note: Interviews — even a multiple interview process —are as safe as a leaky row boat because few interviewers know what to ask or look for when matching people with jobs

     How to positively -- and quickly -- identify the combination of behaviors, motivators and natural talents that are right for BOTH the job and your organization’s culture. This is a critical step. For example, a top performing VP of Sales in another organization might choke in your company’s culture. Vice versa, an under-performer who gets moved to the right job for him or her could unleash their inner champion in your company’s culture. Learn how to measure specific success markers that will show you which is which. Surprisingly, workplace environments, not job duties, make the most difference.

PLUS!

  Learn how to reduce exposure to legal problems by injecting greater objectivity into your executive selection process.

Learn how to motivate current employees who seem burned out, lackluster or simply no longer have the enthusiasm they used to have

“This exciting new program, packed with practical info, will keep you on the edge of your seat!”

- Yolanda Harris, President, The Keynote Group

Here are 6 questions you might be asking yourself:

1. "Why do I need this? I have good people now."

It's surprisingly common for good people to wind up feeling "stuck" in jobs that are not really good for them. It breeds mediocrity and mal-content because their productivity goes down as their unhappiness goes up. My executive selection process will insure that you add more of the best people possible for key leadership roles.

PLUS, you will learn how to transform your good people into great people in jobs that are great for them. I look forward to showing you how that's done. (And I promise you, once you see how effective and logical this hiring process is, you'll use it over and over again.)

"It's unreasonable to expect extraordinary results from employees who are not motivated by their work. And it's entirely reasonable to expect extraordinary results from employees who are a perfect match with their work."

- Doug Smart, President, Smart Business International

2. "Why do I need to look at this hiring process? I already have a hiring system in place. It’s not perfect but it works."

There comes a time when "tried and true" decays into "old and obsolete." That gives your competitors a window of opportunity to steal from you by using new methods like the Smart Hiring Process..

Right now is the best time to learn a smarter, faster and easier way to take the gamble out of hiring. The executive hiring process I teach is based on the newest scientifically validated research.

Here's something you may find amazing: this is the same research that makes eHarmony the astronomically successful powerhouse it is in the business of matching people romantically. I'll teach you how to match high level people with jobs and projects they will love. Then you'll see productivity, team work, and job satisfaction soar. And while my system has noting to do with romance, I know you'll love the results.

3. "Isn't this something for HR, not me? I’m _____ (CEO, business owner, executive, middle management, etc)."

As much as I love HR people, I have to admit this fact of life: All truly successful people learn how to surround themselves with the best people possible. It's a skill that cannot be delegated to HR.

"A company is only as good as it's people.

Surround yourself with the best people you can find.

They are a great investment that pays you back

many times over."

4. "Is the 'Take the Gamble Out' seminar going to make me want to replace my current employees?"

No -- unless they are driving you into mediocrity and/or bankruptcy.

5. "Do I have to use your whole hiring procedure in order to get results?"

No. Use the pieces that best fit the culture of your workplace so you can see immediate and positive results.

6. "Will the seminar give ME value?"

Yes! If you want to hear technical theories pontificated by some stuffy expert who talks in scientific lingo, this seminar is not for you. But if you want to learn practical techniques that have proven indispensable for building management and sales teams in lots of different industries, you want this seminar. And besides, you have nothing to lose and much to gain. Be sure to see my No Risk, 2 Way, 100% Money Back Guarantee.
