Three little words that sold millions of square clothespins

“They won’t roll.”
As sales leaders we are all searching for that “magic bullet” to increase our sales, help us meet our quotas and give us that hefty bonus at the end of the quarter. The reality is that we really don’t need to look any further than ourselves. By embracing our traits that define us as leaders, we can create our own opportunities to find that success we desire.

In the 1930s a small clothespin company introduced square clothespins. Unfortunately, they cost 3¢ more per dozen than the traditional round clothespins. Sales were going nowhere. Elmer Wheeler, a sales pioneer at the time, came to the company’s rescue. Curious about the new design he asked a store salesclerk what was special about it. She couldn’t tell him....more

InitiativeOne Interactive Web Workshop

March was the launch of InitiativeOne Interactive Web Workshop.  Kentucky Education Development Corporation had 30 education leaders interact with Dr. Fred as he spoke about the types of leaders in organizations and how leaders can have a positive affect on change. Hosting Web Workshops is an alternative and affordable way to have Dr. Fred interact with the audience as if he were standing on the stage.  We will be offering 4 workshops that are developed around InitiativeOne Leadership Development Models.  Contact us at (920)544-0822 to schedule your companies Web Workshop.

Types of People in Organizations:
90 minutes is all it will take to identify who your thoughtful leaders are and the critical role they have on creating a positive change. The InitiativeOne model will help you discover who the visionaries are all the way down to the neysayers.

Building an Effective Decision Frame:
What is your vision?  Your values? Your Critical Goals? You need to be mindful of these three very important Decision Frame components.  How you start and finish each day should be guided by your Decision Frame.

Reality of Change:
As change occurs and you start moving from the "Land of Status Quo" to "Land of Positive Results" whose voice are you listening to? This workshop will guide you through the "No Attaboy Territory" to the Land of Positive Results by overcoming barriers that you may not even be aware of!

Strategic Time Management (80:20 Rule):
During this 90 minute workshop you will learn that 80% of your time should be focused on tasks related to your strategic goals. Don't get stuck in the "Dark Side of Pay the Rent" caught up in "drama", unresolved conflicts, and burning valuable time and energy that can be focused on IMPACT and OUTCOMES you are working to achieve!

Client Spotlights

R.A. Dobson, Inc.
Sterling, VA

Founded more than 35 years ago, R.A. Dobson is a 2nd generation family business. Reliable, Trusted and Guaranteed is how the Dobson's would describe the services they provided to customers.  Dr. Fred led Travis and Justin Dobson's team through a three day Business Impact Assessment. Justin learned from the analysis that it is the top down leadership style that is hindering the growth of the organization.  As he said "top down management no longer works".  Building a team environment where everyone is on board will lead them into the next generation.

 

 
What's being said about iOne

"InitiativeOne has helped us get to where there is more trust, more open and honest communication, and where the staff members better understand their roles, as opposed to someone saying, 'That's your job,' we now say, 'That's my job. I'll get it done.' There's a renewed sense of ownership."
