If
your aim is to make significant gains in your profitability,
then you should get to know Jeff Smith. He's regarded
by many as one of the very best business improvement strategists
in the world and he's the #1 expert on the subject of
Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and best practise.
Jeff
Smith is a professional key note speaker who's made several
programmes for Sky Television and is often called upon
as an expert on business improvement. As well as being
one of the world's top trainers and consultants, in 1999,
he became a founder member of the Professional Speakers
Association of Europe helping other people to attain success.
He
talks about implementing and using KPI for adopting best
practise and developing successful business strategies,
particularly in difficult times. He looks at the current
environment to bring common sense and clear direction
from a world of confusion to help all businesses generate
greater results. Some
of the areas covered by Jeff Smith include:

Most Powerful KPI And How To Use Them
KPI and business strategy in emerging markets
The
Secrets Of The Top Achievers
KPI
Best Practice
The
Pyramids Of Power
The
7 Big Mistakes In Marketing And Selling
How
To Make More Profit And Keep It
The
focus of his speeches are always “fun with a serious
intent ” and because of his own experience of running
highly successful businesses for more than 25 years, he's
able to draw upon real-life "success and failure"
stories attaining high levels of credibility with the
audience.
"Credibility
is an essential ingredient in a speaker if you want to
make change happen within an organisation"
Jeff speaks to audiences within many different
industries around the world and his background in the
Motor Industry provides a perfect backdrop for many business
challenges that have faced the world over the last century.
Using
his "Pyramids of Power" his ability to
explain complex concepts to a large audience making business
principles easy to understand is his trade mark - his
clarity is truly unrivalled.
You
can always measure a good conference by how much it's
talked about after the event, but rather than going solely
for the popularity vote, Jeff's aim is to give great ideas
to improve business performance- and that's what gets
talked about long after the event has ended - However,
although it's not his aim, he's often cited by the audience
as the best speaker of the day.
Perhaps
one of the reasons for his popularity is because he's
brilliant at getting the audience involved in the whole
experience; he works on this premise:
Tell
me and I will hear
Show me and I will see
Involve me and I will understand
He rarely stands at the podium, he doesn't
require an Autocue nor does he rely upon scripts... instead
he walks the stage fully engaging the audience speaking
from heart with real passion. Few people have the depth
of knowledge to do this and at the same time have the
ability to deliver a message to the audience with the
effect of an atomic bomb.

"During
my career in Pharmaceuticals and within the Motor Industry,
I've attend many training courses, seminars and conferences
and in my opinion, Jeff Smith is the best speaker in the
world today, especially on the subject of using Key Performance
Indicators for business improvement.
He's totally
transformed the way our dealer partners manage their businesses
in the whole of the Middle East, North Africa and South
Africa. I don't know anyone else who knows the subject
of business improvement so well and has the power to influence
people on a world-wide scale.
Jeff has
brought much needed clarity and understanding of key performance
indicators to our business and how they can be used to
drive change in all areas of the operation. When we book
Jeff Smith to speak at our events, he's so easy and professional
to deal with and we know every seat will be taken."

"After
our initial interview with Jeff and after contacting several
companies he had worked with in the past, we decided to
hire Jeff as a speaker for our organization to focus on
the KPI known as Absorption.
We asked
Jeff to present at conferences in 16 different countries
over a period of just over a month. The quality of Jeff's
presentations was absolutely top-notch and he easily handled
the occasional "naysayer" or "challenger"
in the audience through a combination of his experience
and his knowledge on the topic.
Our people
left each meeting with not only a better understanding,
but also a much better appreciation of the topic and its
value to their business. Jeff Smith single handedly drove
this highly desirable end-result for our organization.
Beyond this very positive end-result however, there is
more... Jeff was easy to work with and extremely understanding
of our needs and the outcome we desired.
In my book,
it simply doesn't get any better. Would we hire Jeff again?
Absolutely!
Thanks Jeff!"

"We
asked Jeff to speak at our Global Dealer EXPO in the USA
this year, to share his important message about KPI's
(Key Performance Indicators) and Absorption. His message
was received with great enthusiasm by our Dealers. His
engaging presentation makes complex topics easy to understand,
as well as enjoyable for the audience. Participants queued
up following the presentation, eager for one-on-one discussions
with Jeff to explore more questions and ideas. We could
not have been more pleased with the response from our
Dealers.
Would I ask
Jeff to speak to our group again? Already have……….by
popular demand he is coming back for another session later
this year. Our Dealers and Business Group are excited
to have Jeff continue our development so that, together,
we can grow our business profitably. You know when you
have found an effective speaker when your toughest constituents
offer positive, unsolicited feedback."

"I cannot
overstate the impact of Jeff Smith’s presentation
at our recent Inchcape Retail Group Aftersales Managers
meeting which was held at The Heritage Centre in Gaydon.
It was wonderfully simple to understand, yet very powerful
in its approach in teaching us all how to further improve
the profitability from our Aftersales departments.
He also managed to crisply communicate the message in
a relaxed way and best of all we had some genuine fun
when completing the KPI Quiz that he asked us to do.
There were some hard hitting messages in the presentation
and we all concluded that he prepared a presentation that
seriously differentiates him from the crowd and will most
definitely help us to improve our performance.
I highly recommend Jeff as a Professional Speaker for
any conference.”

7
Compelling Reasons Why You Should
Choose Jeff Smith For Your Conference
Compelling
Reason # 1: Credibility is a MUST. Although
he's achieved massive success in the Motor Industry, his
conference speeches are tailored for all business sectors.
He speaks in depth about KPI for Sales organisations,
Service organisations, manufacturing, right through to
balance sheet and cohesive business strategy.
There
are very few people in the Motor Industry who do not own
a copy of The KPI Book; it's often regarded as the industry
Bible.
He's
well known, he's well respected, he's always accessible
to people and he stays at the conference to speak with
the delegates after the event. Who is better than the
guy who wrote the book to speak about KPI?
Compelling
Reason # 2: Real World Ideas – not glib theory!
Jeff has more than 25 years of experience of running businesses
and he's worked with some of the very best people in the
world - he knows what works and he can explain it well.
Compelling Reason # 3: Definitely Not The Same
Old Stuff - Some conference speakers have a "standard"
speech and say the same thing at every conference they
attend. If the audience has seen them before, they say
"Here we go again, same old stuff as last time."
You'll never get this with Jeff because he'll spend a
lot of time with you before the conference so that everything
is tailor-made for your event. You get your message delivered
in a way that's fresh, right for the current climate and
full of impact.
Compelling Reason # 4: Walking the talk - Some speakers
are mere entertainers, they put on a great show but they
lack any in depth knowledge. How many speakers do you
know that will make a presentation and then stay on stage
and ask for questions? Not many! Jeff believes this makes
a real difference to delivering change in the workplace
- the more questions he gets, the better; it makes the
whole event more relevant for everyone.
Compelling Reason # 5: Great content but what about
the delivery style? Well, this is a personal thing
really, we all like different things, but what we can
say is that Jeff is usually fully booked for at least
6 months and that's the real acid test.
Compelling
Reason # 6: Is it possible to influence people
in 1 hour? Most conference speakers will say "Yes,
of course, I use a special technique". The truth
is the level of influence that can be achieved at a conference
is directly proportional to the subject matter. Some topics
carry instantaneous influence, whilst other subjects requires
support from the top.
Give
us your brief and your expectations for the event and
then Jeff will have a talk with you and tell you "honestly"
what he thinks he can achieve.
Here's
something quite rare...If he does not think that he can
deliver what you are asking for, he will not accept your
invitation to speak and that's why his success rate is
100%. Honesty and integrity and very high on his list.
Compelling
Reason # 7: Action is the Key- Anyone can get
up on stage and talk for an hour or two and take your
money, but the question is, do they give a call to action?
Do they inspire people to want to make change happen?
In other words, do they have the ability to deliver commercial
gain in the workplace? The answer for Jeff Smith is most
definitely YES!
If
you have the budget for such an acclaimed speaker and
you want to know more about how to get the best results
out of your conference, why don't you pick up the phone,
call the office and speak with Jeff Smith directly, here's
the number:
0044 1384 371432
Don't
worry, if he's not in the office (and he probably won't
be) you can speak with Sharon, his PA who will let you
know about his availability and then she'll take your
details and arrange for Jeff to call your at a convenient
time.
When
you want the best results
for your conference...
