“Mark’s gift
is that he understands communications
and business..
Since his retreats
and meetings,
our revenue has
risen 80%.”

—Lester Friedman
CEO,
Great American Group

 

A CEO, division president, or other executive phones us. Sometimes they’re from an entrepreneurial firm with sales in the millions. Other times they’re from a public company with sales in the billions.

In either case, the caller understands the power of the team. They have something important they want to accomplish, and they know they have a better chance of accomplishing it if their company’s top people are involved.

Problems and Opportunities

What are some of the things they want to work on during the retreat? Often, it’s one or more of the following:

  • The company needs help with its strategic direction.
  • The company knows where to head, but it’s not sure about tactics.
  • Everyone is firefighting, and that keeps them from the tasks that matter.
  • Management is having turf wars, and it’s killing the company.
  • The lines of communication are stopped up, and no one is sharing.
  • They want to build consensus for a project.
  • They want to create a product.
  • They want to reposition a service.
  • They want to increase top-line revenues.
  • They want to strengthen profitability.
  • They want to cut costs.
  • They want to spin off a new company.
  • They want to cross-sell among divisions.
  • They want to systematize a process.
